SJW of the day

Fuck that. Poisonous spiders and poisonous snakes and cornholing hillbillies (yeah, I seen Deliverance), I'll take shoveling snow and people talking like Yoopers.

 

You forgot hurricanes and sink holes.
And cock a roaches you can throw a saddle on.

 

Is Waffle House Belgian? Cuz they make the best waffles, me thinks.

 

Like Slim Jim makes the best sausage.

 

Try their pancakes.

 

Slim Jim makes pancakes?

 

No, but a microwave will make their sausages light and fluffy.

 

I've got a 700R4 transmission in my car that might enjoy a visit from you.

 

I see your point. But I've seen hundreds of courthouse confederate soldier statues in whatever cornhole county that were simply put up by the Daughters of the Confederacy of Cornhole County in memory of the fallen men of Cornhole County. It seems like a shame to tear down Cornhole County history because some find it inconvenient to their views.

 

There is a difference between a memorial for those who lost their lives fighting in the civil war (on either side) and statue honoring one of the generals / leaders of the Confederacy. I am OK with the former, but not the latter.

Edit: Actually the latter is fine too on private property with private funding.

 

Public property is owned by all the people within a given political subdivision, not just the offended.

 

Do we also tear down the hundreds of statues of U.S. Grant which seemingly occupy every public park in the Midwest?

 

Let the memorial to he who is without sin remain standing.
Gonna be some big holes in DC.

After the Confederates, who's next?

 

My point: There's a certain importance to historic memory.

 

Yep. Isn't the quote "those who forget history are doomed to repeat it..."

 

We can remember that lots of good men and boys died in that awful war. Leaving the memorials to those who died without leaving the statues honoring those that led the fight against the United States of America would seem to do that quiet well in my view. I am not all for taking them down everywhere right this instant, but if the local population generally wants it down, take it down. Try not to spend taxpayer dollars doing it. Let some private entity that wants to put it on their private property pay to have it hauled to it's new home.

Basically your view on this will likely come down to your view of the war. Do you feel the Confederate States were fighting for the USA or against the USA. Monuments celebrating traitors to the USA are not high on my list of things to have around.

Let's flip this around a bit. Lets say that California tries to split and become an independent state Left Wing California. There is a brief war / skirmish and they are brought back into the USA. Would you be OK with California erecting monuments to those that led the split and the military officers that joined California instead of the rest of the US military?

 

Are there any books you feel like burning too?

 

Just think by that logic we should tear down anything honoring Martin Luther King. Oh and all the northern genrals also as they offend some southerners. Also the Washington Monument (@#$#@ slave holder). Oh and anything honoring corn #@$#@ ethanol. And.,....

Folks need to get over themselves and learn to laugh at assholes not emulate them.

 

Is the alternative to slide them into the ocean?
