I guess these people don't realize that if it wasn't for slavery they would be living in a grass or mud hut in Africa and watching their children die of starvation. | |||

Yes indeed. Many of the Founding Fathers were slave owners, most notably the residents of those two estates. The anarchists and communists see the blood in the water now, and they won't stop with pulling down a few statues of Confederate soldiers and generals. | |||

How many times in human history has a privileged aristocracy had the clarity of vision to see that their own way of life contradicted their ideals--then established institutions which would gradually and peacefully do away with that contradiction? It wasn't until the 1830's and 1840's that slavery was seen by people like Calhoun as a positive good rather than a necessary and dying evil. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

If they get their way they'll be doing the same thing here, they're just too stupid to think that far ahead. | |||

Good point. But their goal is not really for justice, or freedom, or opportunity. Their goal is to take and enjoy what others have worked for. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

Correct, they undermine the system that provides the gravy-train they demand. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

I wonder how long until a group of armed people on one side of this issue confront another group of armed people on the other side? I know conspiracy theories are looked down on here but I do think this is a set-up for a bigger issue by the side that didn't win the Whitehouse. I think it's getting worse by the day and what has been called a bloodless coup won't stay bloodless much longer. GGF | |||

It's just further into the realm of the absurd, that's all. Any rational person who cares to look can see their insanity. ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||

I'm glad they are arresting people, but these are just the usefull idiots. The left still got what they wanted - the statue is destroyed and it will never be put back up. The people in charge of this nonsense don't care if they have to sacrifice a few patsies along the way. | |||

Three more protesters were arrested Wednesday for participating in the toppling of a nearly century-old statue of a Confederate soldier in North Carolina. Dante Strobino, 35, and Ngoc Loan Tran, 24, were arrested when they attended a court hearing for another woman who was charged Tuesday for climbing a ladder to attach a rope to the bronze soldier. Peter Gilbert, 39, was arrested later Wednesday afternoon. The Durham County Sheriff’s office said the three arrested Wednesday were charged with two felonies related to inciting and participating in a riot that damaged property.    http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017...-north-carolina.html | |||

If you are going to sell ANTI Americanism, you have to start somewhere. Antifa might as well be antiam. According to them, America is almost totally facist. So, use that and go from there to everything we value in America and trash it. NRA Life Endowment member Tri-State Gun collectors Life Member | |||

Ngoc Loan Tran--yeah, I'm sure he has a legitimate grievance against the Confederacy. --------------------- DJT-45/47 MAGA !!!!!

Would be very interesting to follow who steps up to defend this filth in court.

I hope you Southern guys understand that many of us Yankees are pissed about the destruction of these monuments, too. My family immigrated from Europe after the Civil War was over, but I think I get how you feel. To me, those statues are about more than Gen Lee. He is simply the visual representation of all the men that fought under him. These SJW assholes are telling you that your ancestors are not worthy of respect. Bullshit. | |||

So. Starbuck$ baristas are tearing down veterans memorials for unpopular conflicts? Nice. When do they tear down the Vietnam wall in DC and replace it with a coffee kiosk? They don't think it be like it is, but it do. | |||
