Confederate Statues removed in New Orleans

[Iceaxe]

I've been to the south numerous times. Back before I was married I used to spend pretty much the entire month of February in Daytona Beach and the entire month of September in Atlanta racing cars. I lived in Houston for a time. This is pretty much what all the pit lizards I was banging at the time looked like. Haters going to hate...

In honor of Scott I was going to post a couple of pics of "healthy" chicks rocking the Confederate Naval Jack (Rebel Flag), but couldn't find any. It appears the rebel flag repels fat chicks.... so it does have that going for it....

And in other news....

And in today's news....

Ahh.....that would belong to France.


This is the only flag that counts ( imho and here in America )
Damn - this has gotten so far off the original question/topic that I am sorry I ever posted. Lesson learned.

Lesson learned.

Uh, sure about that? lol

Please explain the difference to me again as I'm just not seeing it......

I'm not sure a person who wraps themselves in the rebel flag or posts "this is pretty much what all the pit lizards I was banging at the time looked like" could comprehend the difference.

Why would someone bother to explain the difference to you?

[Iceaxe]

There is no difference silly pony...

I mean other then the self righteous belief that you are on the correct side....

And just for the record I never did discriminate... I was just as happy banging Yankee pit lizards as I was Dixie pit lizards.

I think there is a difference. And, not just because I'm self righteous.

You think the Taliban are on the right side of history?

How about the Confederacy?

The United State of America (hoo...rah) has/had spilled blood fighting against both. Do you think either was not worth fighting for?

I can give an answer, but I have a question for you as well.

What is the difference?





Both have to do with history right? Both should be celebrated, correct?

Despite people's attempts to whitewash history, from a historical standpoint, the Confederates were just as bad as the Nazis. It might not be politically correct to say so, but the comparison has a lot of merit.

And...Scott...as you note above, one begets the other...folks marching in Charlottesville were carrying both flags in the same group.

Reposting Mike Cernovich stuff...ugh...that guys an alt right tool. I'm sure the David Dukes of the world love him, though...

Big fan, Shane?

We apparently need to tear this down too. Heck, they made the slaves kill each other for entertainment!

Ft Bragg is going to need to be renamed along with several other military bases.
Does Mt Rushmore need to be edited?
People are wanting Stone Mountain edited.
Washington and Lee renamed?
Should any battlefield where the Confederates won be torn up? Are they not possibly seen as glorying the Confederate army as a National Park?

Jefferson Davis' home in Mississippi is on a national registry of historical places and a National Landmark, and Vicksburg is a federal park. Should these be eliminated?
