Aren’t you on record for wanting California to secede?
Sarcasm....but if we did, your taxes would go up....as would prices on everything from fruit to computer stuff.

Massachusetts had one plaque dedicated to confederate soldiers until last year. What should we make of a plaque to confederate soldiers in a state that wasn’t even part of the confederacy?

Careful, dude, that fucks with the narrative.
The DAR is part of the government?
So what? The German cemetery in Normandy is twice the size of the American one.
It fucks with the narrative insofar as it shows that a government that honors the confederate dead isn’t necessarily honoring the confederate cause.
They were honoring the confederate cause:
“ It was commissioned in 1963 by the local United Daughters of the Confederacy, a now-defunct group that promoted the idea that the war was not between a pro-slavery South and anti-slavery North, but rather a battle for states’ rights and Confederate culture led by honorable men—a set of beliefs known as the mythology of the lost cause”
is arlington in DC?
i'm all for celebrating national heroes with statues, but we're not talking about national heroes, are we?
they should knock it over and install a Union soldier with his foot on the neck
Hurt feelings "on both sides", huh? What a crock of shit. Hem and haw all you want - there is an objectively right side to this issue, the side of people who want confederate statues taken down. Analogizing them to hypothetical white people upset about a Harriet Tubman statue is beyond ridiculous.I’m sure there are white people in Charleston who will have hurt feelings about the Vesey statue and white people in Georgetown who will have hurt feelings about the Tubman statue. That’s life.
Who is the beneficiary of the all this honoring with the statues?? That is the first answer we need
This whole situation astounds me.
There cannot be ANYONE who thinks that a statue to this man on a state university campus is a good idea.
