Protestors Topple Confederate Monument in North Carolina

[publicunofficial]

You don't see Germany putting up statues in honor of "the brave men who fought for the Third Reich."

The Confederate States of America was founded by traitors who wished for slavery to last in perpetuity. Honoring Confederate veterans, leaders and history is honoring treason and slavery. If governments do not pull these monuments down, people should.

Something I learned from this whole controversty: The words "Adolf Hitler" appear on exactly one public memorial in Germany, a small plaque in a parking lot which stands on the grounds of the old bunker. The plaque basically reads "Yes this the spot, now move along so people can park."

That's the way to do it.

In Spain the monuments to Franco still are conserved and only the communists bet to remove them, State referendum in each state on the monuments, The violent left and antifa would refuse to know that the result would not favor them?

Your employer needs to invest in some English lessons if they're going to pay you to troll on a full-time basis. Most Americans couldn't care less about what foreigners think in a domestic situation - you should at least be able to play the part convincingly if you're gonna do this.

By the way I have citizenship I am half American lol
The pathetic left is afraid of referendum.

Why? The left is the one that wins the popular vote.

The WWII generation hated socialism! Which is why they voted for FDR four times and thanked Democrats for Social Security by giving them control of the House for most of the century.

So, Penn Jillette was just on Bill Maher's show where he said that the George Washington statues should be taken down, and Maher's left-wing audience applauded at that.

Ah, yes, never doubt the ability of progressives to shoot off their own foot and blow an easy win. Ugh.

What progressives are in Bill Maher's audience.

There's no reason any of these statues should be in museums. That's just a pure Moderate Hero stance.

Why not?

In public places, if the governments so choose, they should either be demolished or put away as a remnant of the celebration of a failed, rebellious nation.

What historical value do they have? Most aren't even from the Civil War era, they were built in the 30's or 60's by racist d-bag politicians as a way of giving the middle finger to the Civil Rights movement.

The way some conservatives talk about these things you'd think they believe that destroying the statues will cause people to forget the Civil War ever happened, which is preposterous. If Anything, most of the people pulling down these statues would be in favor of more education on slavery and the Civil War in schools.

If you were to go back in time and tell the people who commissioned these statues that they will one day be used as rallying points for white supremacists, I'd imagine they'd tell you that's exactly what they were hoping for.

Why not just leave the Pedestals empty?

If you take off the racist southerner on top, most Confederate statues become perfectly harmless statues of pretty horses.
