It appears many want to erase the past

[Bucky]

The majority of those that signed the Declaration of Independence were slave holders. Many on the left want to tear down and vandalize status of Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.

On Monday, more than 200 SJW zealots held a protest inside the American Museum of Natural History in New York City to take down the supposedly “racist” statue of former President Theodore Roosevelt. The protest’s organizers, NYC Stands with Standing Rock and Decolonize This Place, also called for Columbus Day to be renamed Indigenous People’s Day.

Many on the left want to tear down Mount Rushmore. I simply do not understand this hatred festering for one's own country. Do people realize that Indians before colonization held slaves?

We are going down a very dangerous road.

We need to embrace our past and rich history. Using today's rules and moral standards and comparing them to what people did 100 years ago is dangerous.

People shouldn't be ashamed or embarrassed of their ancestors.

Liberals don't care as long as they get to rant and rave about the newest and trendiest perceived outrage.


Some of them really need to watch that old movie, PCU University, to see how silly they look.

"Many" on the left? Really?

those who engaged in shameful actions should not have their images cast as public statues to be honored

 

[JamesBY]

Please stop the falsehoods about the Founders.

How many signers of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 owned slaves? Out of 56 signers, one-third to one-half of them owned slaves. Estimates vary. Slaveholders among the Founders. Part 3 of 3. - Into the Briar Patch: A Family Memoir

Most white males were white supremacists during that time including Abraham Lincoln. Should we remove all public statues of Abraham Lincoln?

Says the liberal whose side wants to whitewash any reference to the South and it's hero's from one of the most important wars in our nations history.

Ummm.... the vandalization of the Lincoln memorial was almost certainly carried out by right wingers not left wingers.

The scene you're referencing about Teddy Roosevelt was from Oct of 2016. It's not related to the current protests at all they are protesting Columbus day, and it doesn't appear to have anything to do with Teddy Roosevelt.

bull crap. your post is a lie. northerners are very happy to tell confederate sympathizers what morons they are. it is great sport.

LOL! "Heroes"? You consider traitors to be heroes?

Why am I not surprised?

I am no more a liberal than you are a mainstream American, dobieg.

No one is removing the CW from the history books. Almost no one opposes moving them into public museums rather than destroying.

The arguments in defense of the thread are like the comments from our crazy old Uncle Donald Trump: crazy.

ps: the Southern leaders are not America heroes, never have been never will be.

The south didn't have any hero's in that war only villains. We definitely want to remember them, but only so that we are not doomed to repeat the horrible mistakes they made. Honoring them is out of the question.

fallacy of false equivalency.

We lived today with today's standards. Get used to it.

So, should we use today's standards to evaluate people's actions and behavior from 100 years ago?

 

[dobieg]

So are you for removing anything honoring ancient warriors, leaders, etc even though many of the most notable committed heinous and barbaric acts? How many Greek muals shall we destroy or Roman statues should we take down?

 

[dobieg]

The south didn't have any hero's in that war only villains. We definitely want to remember them, but only so that we are not doomed to repeat the horrible mistakes they made. Honoring them is out of the question.

Go down south and tell the citizens there your little theory.

Slavery was a universal phenomenon, practiced by almost all cultures and peoples throughout history. What is remarkable about slavery in the West is that it's one of the few places where it was abolished. It was abolished based on Western morality and tradition, specifically Christian morality.

If the West should ever fall, like these antifa goons want it to, then the principle bastion against slavery in the world will be gone. There is no doubt that slavery will be revived just like the antifa goons are reviving fascism.

Slavery is the norm in the world. Abolition of slavery is an exception.

Mr. Wonka probably is like most far left liberals in this country. They have a feeling of deep shame for their country and history.

LowDown is right. Christianity eradicated slavery. The thuggish behavior from antifa goons and quite frankly, these extremist left wing thugs will only destroy our country.

Nope, just the don't want to elevate the many good things we have done and not honor the horrible.

OK, but was the 3/5 "compromise" a shameful act?
