Time for all conservative citizens to put their 3D printers to work re-creating the destroyed public property.

When someone says violence and riots are a means to bringing the spotlight on a national issue.....don't forget what happened last time.

Oh like this. Just what does the symbolism of taking a knee really mean?

So if Trump took a knee- this is what it would symbolize and it would set off nationwide riots, but if you have a D after your name you can kneel with the colors of a slave trading African tribe and you are caring, thoughtful and righteous.

No, what does taking a knee symbolize? It means one thing for a democrat to do it. It means oppression and racism for your mythical right winger to do it. Unity? Unity? Try posing as a right winger republican and say you believe in Dr. Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream Speech, and actually live those values since the day you heard him give the speech and find out just how much unity that gets you. I didn't say pretend to live those values, I said live those values. Millions of "right wingers" have. We right wingers don't look at someone for their race, we look at them for who they are.
Why do democrats persist in dividing everyone into blocks? Gay. Black gay, trans gay, hispanic, gay hispanic, white supremacist (which means all white right wingers and even black right wingers like Clarence Thomas) . Unity? Right wingers have been trying to unify around our common core values for decades and left wingers are unifying around destroying everything we have in common. Let's label everyone, that will prove our unity when they are all neatly pigeonholed by race.

So then why aren't Republicans all about dismantling the legacy of the confederacy?

Because when you "dismantle the legacy of the confederacy" you destroy the history of the lessons learned. People aren't worshiping the statues of confederate soldiers, but for people with more intellect than a woke liberal, it is an opportunity to reflect on what the war meant and to teach your children what it meant. People in the south lost sons brothers and fathers and woke won't tell you that of the 27 million whites counted in the 1860 census, 8 million lived in the slave owning states of the South. Of these, 385,000 owned slaves. Statistically, 4.8% of all Southern whites owned slaves. There were about 3 million slaves counted in the 1869 census.
My great great grandfather was conscripted in Confederate Army and deserted to the Union Army.
Facts. Is there a breathing liberal anywhere who can understand them, let alone look for them?

Do you know what the present tense means? I asked why Republicans aren't all about that now. Today. In me and you alive times.

What purpose does it serve? The people destroying monuments are ignorant of history. Destroying a monument does not make the history go away, it prevents others from learning from it.

This is a prelude to book burning.

yes it is our history, but we dont need to celebrate it, but acknowledge it

Who is celebrating it? I must have missed "Bring Back Slavery Day" I'll bet there are great sales on whips and chains. If it is obliterated from the surface of the earth no one will acknowledge it.

No your ignorance is nonsensical. Dismantle the confederate legacy means what? Destroy it? Obliterate it? Rewrite our history so it never happened? Remove all the memorials to the dead on Civil War battlefields? You would have loved living in Mao's Cultural Revolution- it's the same thing with the same intent. Take away half of the history and what value is the other half?
You actually think you are smart don't you?

I could answer your first question if you want, if you're not going to assume you know the answer already like you do in the rest of your rant.

I'm waiting for the Confederate Park. Oh wait, each town used to have one. Oh well if you can lay the Columbus statue's head at his feet and pile up the rubble that people have made of some of these anonymous memorials people will finally understand. The US is not anywhere near as racist as the accusations. The actions of just a few aren't the fault of the millions who don't practice racism. Assigning that blame to all "right wingers" is the very essence of bigotry and prejudice that is so abhorrent to the self righteous.

It actually is - it's a breathtaking place to visit.

You're aware, aren't you, that Budapest - capital of Hungary - was occupied by the Soviet Union for about forty to fifty years? Within living memory?

Well, in that time, they put up A LOT of statues to Soviet figures of power. Statues of Stalin and Kruschev, statues of Hungarian commanders who ordered tanks to crush citizens during the uprisings of the 50's and 60's - all these statues carefully calculated to cast their gaze on you as you went to work, went to pick up your groceries - all these awful men, immortalized and built to remind you every day that you are not in control.

And as you know, Hungary is no longer a Communist country. And the first thing they did was they took those statues down.

But they didn't destroy them. And this is what I want you to really listen to.

They set aside a park in the middle of Budapest. They planted tall trees around the edge of the park so that you wouldn't have to see it on your way to work or whatever - you have to go into the park in order to find this. And ALL the Soviet-era statues are there, ALL of them, with plaques that explain who those people were, where their statues were originally found, and putting them in their historical context.

And where there used to be statues of Soviet icons, they put new statues that inspire hope for the future. There's even a touching statue of Ronald Wilson Reagan in one spot, just as a nod to the role America played in taking the Soviet oppression down. They even have one statue of Colombo, of all people, where a Soviet statue used to stand.

Now, question: did the Hungarians destroy their history, heritage, and culture? Did they destroy these statues? Did they devalue their history? Did they seek to erase this from their existence and forget everything they learned?

The answer is no, they did not. They kept them.

But did they solve the problem of having these butchers, these dictators, these bloodthirsty monsters, immortalized and honored and placed with maximum visibility with the express intention of rubbing it in the face of the everyday citizen - our legacy will ever be a part of your life?

Yes. Yes, they did.

And they did it in a way that says "this is who we were, and this is who we are".

So, I look at that, and I ask myself, why can't we have some of that?
