Removal of statues no different from ISIS
The removal of statues in the south is no different from ISIS destroying the historical sites in the middle East.
Anyone who wants these removed is no better than ISIS.

11 RepliesI won't go that far, but I agree that removing the statues is a concession to crybabies. The Confederacy is a part of American history, just as the Civil War is. A tragic chapter, to be sure... but still a part of history. As much so as Pearl Harbor, JFK's assassination, and 9-11.

Did you see in Atlanta the dumbasses defaced a "peace" statue mistaking it for a confederate statue? And they wonder why no one takes them serious

1 ReplyRelocating a statue somehow equates to terrorist killing hundreds of people in gruesome ways??? Your logic is flawed.

14 RepliesJust like how America bombed the shit out of every German city and nuked two Japanese cities. No respect or concern for history or culture. That's the only reason they won, because they are terrorists.

I want it taken down but not destroyed. The statues or monuments should be preserved in a museum or another site. History should never be erased or forgotten.

There's a whole world of difference actually. One has to do with the elimination of specific philosophy and religious history The other is the removal is public figures who fought for a rebellion that existed purely to divide our country and own slaves (or states rights, but that's the wrong answer). If anything, keeping those statues and the ideas they represented is closer to ISIS if we're going to that extreme.

Interesting

3 RepliesWell.. ISIS execute innocent people in often terrible and disgusting ways. I don't see how you can be as bad as them when you just tear down a statue. It's still stupid though. I don't see the point. It's retarded af.

Basically, liberals and islamists are big iconographerists.

7 RepliesRobert E Lee's own descendants [u]agreed[/u] with the removal of these confederate monuments. Let that sink in bud 🙂

But seriously, removing a statue and putting it a museum is not equal to systematically destroying thousands of years of heritage. And of course, we're not exactly solely annoyed with IS because of their attitudes towards statues...
-
lol, you're comparing a 100 year old military memorial to a 2,000 year old historical monument. There's a difference...

2 RepliesA hyperbolic statement if ever there was one.

Yes, a city government deciding that the city's public land should look one way or another is the same as Islamic State's ideology.

8 RepliesRemoving a statue of an enemy general = countless acts of terrorism and the deaths of thousands of innocent people around the world? Weird.

10 RepliesRevoking the rights of individuals based on their sexuality or gender is no different than ISIS.

I bet if I pulled down a malcolm x statue, I wouldn't get a pass on destruction of private/gov property.

I would be more open to pulling down statues that were commissioned during the Civil Rights movement, but only after thoroughly researching the purpose of their commissions. The heyday of the Civil Rights movement coincided with the centennial of the end of the Civil War. If the statues were commissioned to honor the centennial, then leave them up. If it was in response to the Civil Rights movement, I would be open to removing them.
