Warren’s Amendment to Desecrate Confederate Graves in Arlington now Moving Forward

And those are her good points.

The only thing the civil war really means to me is that for 5 years you fuckers were too busy killing each other to kill us.

I speak from an "american" perspective which is not mine when I condemn the CSA as traitors. If they'd won the war for confederate independence we'd probably have been able to hold you fuckers off, too.

Quite fitting to whom? A white supremacist psychopath that likes to twist a knife driven in our backs?

The started circumventing the US Constitution before the fucking ink was dry on it. It IS and ALWAYS HAS BEEN a huge lie.

Stop being a cry baby. You couldn't hold it and you lost it. Same as every war in history. You are owed nothing.

What a nasty, petty, pathetically useless pandering duncecap halfwit she is... smh.

The vast majority of whites were extremely oppressed by free labor of slavery

There was NO middle class in the south. You were either rich, poor or a slave.

Actually I agree with him in principal , but you have to admit the south was the enemy OF THIS PRESENT COUNTRY at one time and their soldiers committed treason against it. You cant expect the people who are part of it to tolerate people many of them hold to be a celebration of institutionalized racial supremacy.

I do not doubt the Constitutional right to secession, either, the Lakotah Republic did it many years ago.

Human slavery was economically nonviable once the steam engine was invented. "Free labor." Hardly free.

In New Orleans they dug the New Basin Canal with Irish immigrant labor in malaria infested swamps because black slaves were too expensive to lose to disease. The Irish were paid a dollar/day. And generally 5 or more died every day from disease and accidents.


Slaves cost money, you had to fed, house and clothe slaves; had to pay foremen to keep them from rebelling.

A tractor can do the work of twenty slaves. That's why slavery was on its way out, even without a fighting a civil war.

LOL, comparing soldiers fighting for their state with one of the top 5 mass murderers of all time is quite the false equivalence.

Stop trying to view the past through the lens of today. People of that time were much more loyal to their state than the fed govt.

They were all given a choice, betray country or betray state. They knew if they betrayed their state, they could never set foot there again. That was a big deal, one that most in this country can not understand. Your state was your family, your home, your identity.

Yes, they were traitors. After the war was over, the decision was made (for the sake of brevity) not to treat them as such, for the sake of the nation.

It's completely conceivable that had the fed govt executed a large number of Confederates, we would have been right back in another civil war in 10-20 years.

Because our country doesn't work like others, that genocide the losers and their sympathizers, cover it all over, and carry on with the regime.

The Indians were enemies of this present country.

The Indians were enemies of this present country.

The tradition is to allow enemy soldiers to be buried on our soil and their graves marked, but not to honor them in any way. This includes the south. I dont think anyone is suggesting exhuming them either.


The problem is not the memorials so much as the attempt to make treason seem honorable by placing statues or obelisks to honor them. This is just wrong, it's no different than putting a statue of Mao Se Dong in central park.

I'm a Yankee through and through and I had ancestors killed in the civil war. But this shit is beyond stupid. Not every northerner was pro abolition and not every southerner was pro slavery. Even if that was true it (and of course it isn't) it was a different time than it is now. Knock the stupid shit off and quit reopening old wounds. Let the men rest in peace.

WTF are you talking about? Lmfao you know that most of the states willingly joined the United with the caveat they could leave whenever for any reason right?

So them leaving is treason or is treason stopping them from leaving?

Certainly a grey area but "treason" seems a bit ridiculous in that context.

These people are evil

I best if they had to do it over again most of them would take tell the white plantation owners to fight for their own economic prosperity at their expense.

Like I said, it was no fun being white in the south.

Unless you had money you were less than a nigra.

I have news for you, there is a lot of evil in the white race and always has been.

You are the only race that kills people you do not hate who have done nothing to you just to take what is theirs. NO OTHER RACE does this.

Yeah. Well I'm white. Deal with it.

If you got the balls.

Fun? Yeah, Americans worked hard on their own land, raised their own food, went to bed with the chickens, got up before sunrise, made their own music and entertainment and went to church on Sunday. What do you call, "fun."?

And nearly every other person in the world would have traded places with them for the simple fact Americans were free, armed and not hungry and not being persecuted for religious and political reasons.

There are no words to describe my disgust of Elizabeth Warren, will write my Senator to censor the BITCH !!!

Yeah, I agree with you

But 90% of americans wont

They see the confederacy as an attempt to keep slavery an institution, and many southern leaders admitted it was including Lee himself.
