No, unfortunately I meant exactly what I said. :( Why would you want to associate Christian values with the veneration of statues that represent slavery and suppression to a section of society?

you know your own mind, but pietism sounds, to me, more like it goes with virtue signaling (which i had to look up!).

i don't know, but something tells me it's not that simple. slavery, while execrable, wasn't the only reason the war was fought.
and that section of society, while important, isn't the only one who deserves a voice. everyone should have a voice.

that's why (imo) it ought to be left up to the individuals who comprise a community. though i've been a citizen all my life, i have no idea what it's like to live in the south (tant pis!) and so don't know what it means to them.
and if that's all this is about, why the Lincoln Monument business? does some group just want disruption?

i'll say one thing, though, i'd rather have a Robert Lee or Thomas Jackson as a neighbor than a hundred U.S. Grants.

oh, be serious, ellie, who wants a hundred neighbors?? :p

Your post is so trashy - not even going to bother addressing any of the garrulous nonsense in it.

No,no Ive read some of what you have posted to people here,that is what is trashy. Whenever someone disagrees with you you put them down as "uneducated", just not quite as smart as you are.Some of us are tired of your foolishness and your little miss smarty pants act. In other words,grow up!

These days everybody but the Southerner knows the South.

Everybody but but the Southerner knows what the war was all about.

Everybody but the Southerner has the right to an opinion about our heritage.

Everybody can trash us by telling us what a stupid, no good buncha ignorant rednecks with no education we are.

Why not for a change read up on Southern history, instead of listening to the pc in-crowd screaming for our blood?

Frankly, I could care less whether any statue is removed or not. Removing them are not going to improve the life of one single person in the US. If the amount of energy and resources that is being wasted on these ridiculous actions, were invested in renovating our industries and infrastructure, we would again be the greatest country in the world.

The people that are protesting, rioting and vandalizing historical monuments are hardly the ones you would expect to be investing in renovating our industries and infrastructure. They are not going to be the ones that are going to work to make sure this country remains the greatest in the world. They are part of the problem and not the solution.
