I forgot being good at this means repeating the same thing over and over again.
That's how the teach Nazis, but you obviously already know that.

Everybody but you.
The preservation of Auschwitz (and Dachau, BTW) show the horror of those places.
The Confederate statues, by and large, present the slavers, traitors, and losers of the Civil War as heroes.
They weren't. They were traitors. They believed that no black person, whatever her virtues, could be as good as the lowest scumbag who happened to have a low melanin count, and they believed in legal, mandatory oppression. Most of all, they were pathetic-ass losers. Losers don't get statues, and these losers wouldn't have statues but for the fact that a significant number of retards who think that the quality of the person is measured in melanin count still hold to that particular piece of imbecility.
That's how the teach Nazis, but you obviously already know that.
I wouldn't know that at all. Clearly you know how they teach Nazis because you are a Nazi.
So when the doctor deems a Caesarian Section is necessary earlier on in the pregnancy a lot of parasites mysteriously turn into human beings on a moments notice.
Arnold Schwartznegger's quote of the week:
"'I knew the original Nazis, because you see, I was born in Austria in 1947,' Schwarzenegger said in the clip.
'Growing up, I was surrounded by broken men... men who came home from a war filled with shrapnel and guilt. Men who were misled into a losing ideology. And I can tell you: that these ghosts you idolize spent the rest of their lives living in shame.'
'And right now, they're resting in hell."

Let's keep harvesting herring roe , I mean those eggs are neither alive or fish .
Hmmmn a bunch of dirt farmers were that sophisticated ?
You want to get rid of "Hate memorials" every holocaust memorial has got to go.
too bad eh?
I expect the Palestinians probably think the same of the actual state of israel.
Yet you do it with every anti trump post eh?
Mr Coup
Bonehead, I've left you alone for the last few weeks because you stopped making stupid posts. Why don't you try to keep it that way?
To me history is really important, too bad minimal research is beyond the capability of idiots, never question just enlist to support mob mentality.... peace monument is hateful, gawd.
See the stinging masterpiece of a resignation letter the President's Arts Committee sent to Trump
In a blistering public letter, the remaining members of the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities (PCAH) resigned. I’ve re-typed the letter here for easier reading, but you can see the original letter below. It’s a work of resistance art:

Dear Mr. President:
Reproach and censure in the strongest possible terms are necessary following your support of the hate groups and terrorists who killed and injured fellow Americans in Charlottesville. The false equivalences you push cannot stand. The Administrations refusal to quickly and unequivocally condemn the cancer of hatred only further emboldens those who wish America ill. We cannot sit idly by, the way your West Wing advisors have, without speaking out against your words and actions. We are members of the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities (PCAH). The Committee was created in 1982 under President Ronald Reagan to advise the White House on cultural issues. We were hopeful that continuing to serve in the PCAH would allow us to focus on the important work the committee does with your federal partners and the private sector to address, initiate, and support key policies and programs in the arts and humanities for all Americans. Effective immediately, please accept our resignation from the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities.
Elevating any group that threatens and discriminates on the basis of race, gender, ethnicity, disability, orientation, background, or identity is un-American. We have fought slavery, segregation, and internment. We must learn from our rich and painful history. The unified fabric of America is made by patriotic individuals from backgrounds as vast as the nation is strong. In our service to the American people, we have experienced this first-hand as we traveled and build the Turnaround Arts education program, now in many urban and rural schools across the country from Florida to Wisconsin.
Speaking truth to power is never easy, Mr. President. But it is our role as commissioners on the PCAH to do so. Art is about inclusion. The Humanities include a vibrant free press. You have attacked both. You released a budget which eliminates arts and culture agencies. You have threatened nuclear war while gutting diplomacy funding. The administration pulled out of the Paris agreement, filed an amicus brief undermining the Civil Rights Action, and attacked our brave trans service members. You have subverted equal protections, and are committed to banning Muslims and refugee women & children from our great country. This does not unify the nation we love. We know the importance of open and free dialogue through our work in the cultural diplomacy realm, most recently with the first-ever US Government arts and cultural delegation to Cuba, a country without the same First Amendment protections we enjoy here. Your words and actions push us all further away from the freedoms we are guaranteed.
Ignoring your hateful rhetoric would have made us complicit in your words and actions. We took a patriotic oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Supremacy, discrimination, and vitriol are not American values. Your values are not American values. We must be better than this. We are better than this. If this is not clear to you, then we call on you to resign your office, too.
Thank you,

New York subway officials to alter Confederate Flag-like tiles at Time Square station

NEW YORK — Transit officials have decided to alter subway station tiles that have a cross-like design similar to that of the Confederate flag.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is modifying the tiles at the 40th Street entrance to the Times Square subway stop to avoid any confusion about their meaning, MTA spokesman Kevin Ortiz said in a statement.
“These are not confederate flags” Ortiz said. The red, white and blue tiles installed decades ago are “based on geometric forms that represent the ‘Crossroads of the World,”’ he added.
The decision comes in the wake of the deadly rally over a Robert E. Lee statue in Charlottesville, Virginia, which has caused communities across the nation to remove Confederate memorials and symbols.
Earlier this week, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other politicians pressed the U.S. Army to rename two streets named for Confederate generals Gens. Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson on an Army base in Brooklyn. The Army has so far resisted, saying the streets were named for the generals “in the spirit of reconciliation” and to recognize them as individuals, not representatives of “any particular cause or ideology.”
Mayor Bill de Blasio has gone even further by announcing plans to conduct a review of all of the city’s public art and statues to identify “symbols of hate” for possible removal. The mayor singled out a sidewalk plaque commemorating Nazi collaborator Philippe Petain located on the “Canyon of Heroes” - the 13 blocks of Broadway in Lower Manhattan where ticker tape parades are held - as a likely candidate.
Both Cuomo and de Blasio have also called for removal of busts of Lee and Jackson featured at the Hall of Fame for Great Americans at Bronx Community College.
“Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson will be removed from the CUNY hall of great Americans because New York stands against racism,” Cuomo tweeted. “There are many great Americans, many of them New Yorkers worthy of a spot in this great hall. These two confederates are not among them.”
The MTA didn’t say how the subway station tiles would be changed or when the work would begin.
