Confederate Statues

The only sheets I use are on my bed and I rarely use them.
Of course not. But they fought for slavery for rich people like how you fight for tax cuts for rich people today, even though it doesn't benefit you at all.
So just like 150 years ago, southern white racist idiots are being duped into fighting on behalf of immoral rich white racist assholes.
I'm not the one cherry picking something. You are.
I feel fine about myself. I'm not a triggered little pussy like you that gets upset over a piece of metal.
So that means the Confederacy was a religion?
So?
I have always thought that America’s reconciliation after the Civil War is an under-appreciated miracle. The speed at which the country could unite against a common foe during the Spanish-American War — when many Civil War veterans were still alive — is remarkable. Not only that, but the career of Varina Howell Davis is equally amazing, going from being the First Lady of the Confederacy to becoming a celebrated writer in New York City.
Many have talked about the courage of Lee in making sure the Confederate Army did not break up and start guerrilla war against the Union, and rightly so. But equally important was the fact the the South could have just sat out of the American life as well. That would have been disastrous.
Whether the Confederate Battle Flag continues to fly anywhere or not, must we jettison the important reconciliation we have achieved after the Civil War? Am I — are we — not allowed to acknowledge that even the best and bravest of men can sometimes fight for the wrong cause? Is that lesson not important for us all to learn? If you throw away an entire tradition of marital valor and courage you do not easily replace it. Do people even bother to pause and contemplate that? I fear they do not, and we could easily lose an important part of American culture

Closet Confederate sympathizer
Sherman apparently was smart enough to know better.
I don't how Sherman doing that would have done what you say. My family didn't come to the U.S. until many years after the war was over and the slaves were freed.
Do you know why blacks call each other brother/sister? Answer: When 75% of them are bastards and so many don't know their baby daddy, they don't want to miss a chance of speaking to a potential family member.
There was a black female that had 5 sons. She named all of them Tyrone. When someone asked her how she kept them apart, she said "by their last name".
???
No I'm saying that because you wish to tear down statues because of your fee fees, you posses the same mentality, superstition, and behavior of the Taliban.

Lame attempt to keep your treason heros statues
Can you not read? I literally said that it wasn't, nor was that the intention.
History is already written: The South fought for slavery and lost. These monuments don't enhance that history at all. All they do is make you feel better about yourself. And I'm not interested in that. I don't want you to feel better about yourself. I want you to kill yourself.
Yes! They wrote their own Constitution, picked their own capital, and elected their own President. They even called themselves a different name.
They're traitors.
And they lost.
So the heritage you are celebrating is one of losing and treason.
That sounds about right.
Yep...red state white people. There's not a single red state that doesn't rely on welfare to close its budget deficits.
NOT.
A.
SINGLE.
ONE.
