And like that, America's history is scrubbed

You want a statue to a loser.

Plenty of logic there, your being offended gives validation.

The offense seems to be on your end, that you're offended that Robert E. Lee is loser.

So you need to pretend to celebrate other things about him to avoid confronting the reality of his failures.

Robert E Lee willfully choose to fight and kill American soldiers to defend a chattel slave economy.

You and every other Trump supporter on this thread know that a statue erected in a public park is not a history teaching tool.

It is erected for the purpose of veneration and public commemoration.

I doubt you have ever even read a book on Robert E Lee, which makes your claim to being the defender of historical scholarship dubious at best

*to defend the Constitution. Might be time to crack open a history book, if you're even capable of reading at this point.

No one is claiming otherwise. This is a diversionary fallacy. You're literally refuting an argument no one has made.

It is erected for the purpose of veneration and public commemoration.

Which is it? I was just told it was erected to advance "white supremacy," or some other random nonsense Democrats decide to assign to it.

Wait, you blindly assuming what I do or do not know about Robert E Lee automatically disproves anything I claim about him?

And there you have it folks. Democrat "logic" on full display. "My flawed ad hominem assumption makes whatever you were arguing about Robert E. Lee invalid." Straight from the horse's mouth. THIS is EXACTLY what I mean when I say Democrats are intellectually inferior to everyone else.

Exhibit A.

Other than recognizing that it was a part of US history, I am not offended by it and don't validated it at all. You act as though the symbol will stop you from achievement.

By this logic, every statue to MLK needs torn down because he was gunned down. Him losing a physical battle automatically makes him a "loser" not worthy of commemoration, right?

The statue is a part of history, or Lee?

The statue's role in history is the further suppression and intimidation of black people post-Civil War.

Lee's role in history is the loser of the war.

How do the statues teach Lee's role in history?

 

[artichoke]

You literally just said that the statues serve the purpose of finding something to celebrate, despite that statue's subject's failure.

So, a participation trophy.

Translation: Anyone who ever failed at anything cannot have a statue commemorating them without that statue being a participation trophy.

Comprehending the stupidity of your argument yet?

Thanks for another fantastic post. Sadly, it appears that Cypress is just like LV, a bit DIM. Quite tragic, but HIGHLY preventable.

Comparing MLK to Lee is peak Conservatism.

How is MLK a loser? Because he was murdered? How is that the same as Lee losing a war?

It's not that Lee failed at anything, it's that he failed at the biggest thing he tried to do.

How does your statue teach that?

So then the statue didn't teach you any history, then.

I'm not sure I want any rules about statues. People want them up, erect them. People want them down, remove them.
Political might decides the jump ball cases.

If you aren't a Democrat by the age of 20, you have no heart. If you're still a Democrat by the age of 40, you have no brain. The only exceptions are Democrats who are too stupid to learn, all of whom seem to be attracted to this thread right now like flies to manure.
