Trump America : 200 days Plus......
- Thread starter Ocean Breeze
- Start date
The fact is the whole problem was started by revisionists that took down the statue of an important figure in American history.
Nope. Those are the ones that matter most. Everything else depends on them. Especially our standard of living and our pensions.
superb point. And Trump's sick mind is manipulative to the nth degrees it is not outside the realm of possibility.
BTW: "sick mind " indeed. In fact many news outlets are starting to mention that ........carefully ......but his mental unhealth is being assessed by the public. ( except by his supporters)
It is fascinating and a tad frightening to observe his sick mind and sick words bring out the craziness in the american society. The crazies are crawling out of the woodwork as if they are responding to a leader who understands them. so they feel more confident in emerging more forcefully
Yep BLM really got their knickers in a knot with a prez that supported them.
And? Is it wrong to take down a statue? Is this some sort of attempt at equivalency?
There is a certain 1984ishness to taking down statues as part of a campaign to "adjust" our historic memories. You are probably better off to add more beside them to add context rather than remove information altogether.
I think so. I equate it to burning a book you don't like. Trying to rewrite history does not change things. Education does.
I say best we refuse and walk away. Trump can't do a thing if we decide to walk away from negotiations.
Taking down a statue wont help reduce racism and hatred. Good economic growth with high quality of life will. A person who struggles economically will devlop contemp and hatred, But the same person could very well be open & generous under economic prosperity.
Fix the economy and racism and hatred will magically disappear.
People who barely get by have a hard time being generous. But give that same person 1 billion dollars, and chances are he will help many people.
George wasn't far off the mark, just the date.. the far left and what some call the far right are now one and the same. Both want to make whatever they don't like illegal and whatever they want mandatory for all. Leaves us true conservatives all alone.
Putting up a statue, taking it down or leaving it up creates historical memory. Before the statue there was no monument there that imposed an interpretation of history. When that statue was put up it commemorated a historical event, and yet would that have been "1984ish?" Why are these Confederate generals and politicians depicted in a positive way and not hanging for treason? Let's not pretend that commemorating Confederate leader is historically neutral. It ain't.
You're amazingly dim. It's no vague "Big Brother" off in Washington making the decisions to take down the statues. It's cities and counties, the basic, closest to the people, levels of government. And they aren't erasing all references to the Civil War, they are ending the shameful practice of lionizing and celebrating slavers, traitors, and losers.
That's idiotic, but do you equate it with being a Nazi and murdering a protester?
Failure to fix the economy guarantees a rise in hatred and racism in equal proportions to the level of hardship and the lost of quality experienced by the population.
Multiculturalism requires Economic growth and prosperity for it to function.
