Topic | Removal of CONFEDERATE Statues begins as Workers wear BULLETPROOF VESTS!!! |
Zeus 05/19/17 1:07:00 AM #20: | EightySeven posted... You know I was about to note that it's odd that unsuccessful rebellions are venerated to this level, but I guess France honors Vercingetorix and Italy honors Spartacus. I'm not entirely sure venerated is the right word. Plus many of the individuals honored were important persons in their own right *before* the revolution. Robert E. Lee came to prominence during the Mexican-American War, for instance. It's not like the entirety of *any* of their existences was the Civil War and, by removing monuments, you're forgetting the other shit they did. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ...
