Hiding from history doomed us to repeat it. Also Democrats were the main players for the Confederates. --- End quote --- not going to count this towards my point of "liberals defacing history" because this user has lost their reputation as of late and i don't know if this is poe's law or not --- Quote from: Master Matthew² on April 25, 2017, 02:58:12 PM ---In fact, by removing these parts of history, they are very well into the first couple of steps into repeating, not saying that's out of character considering the intentions behind these actions, but keep an eye out. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: Ragequit on April 25, 2017, 05:54:40 PM ---what's the best way to learn from the mistakes of our past? just forgetin forget about it dude makes sense --- End quote --- --- Quote from: Foopster on April 26, 2017, 02:16:57 PM ---"this history contradicts my beliefs, so i better rewrite history to be more like my beliefs!" Ignorance is strength. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: Foopster on April 26, 2017, 03:31:51 PM ---its supposed to mean something in this context. Sure the history is horrible, but we shouldn't rewrite it to be less offensive. We should instead learn from it or be doomed to repeat it. --- End quote --- even others believe the pro-statue people are calling out liberals --- Quote from: otto-san on April 26, 2017, 02:29:24 PM ---i don't think at all that this is some revisionist liberal scheme to make people forget about the confederacy. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: Nonnel on April 26, 2017, 03:33:19 PM ---history isn't getting rewritten, though, the statues are going to be moved to a museum --- End quote --- but i think my "liberals defacing history" point was a overstatement. lord tony probably said something like that but he's forgetin lord tony. after looking over the posts of this thread nobody was really arguing that point. however there is definitely a fair share of people arguing that removing this monument is detrimental to history, no matter which political group was the one to tear it down |

Rewriting history sure, but not removing/hiding history. I'm not sure as to what Corderlain and Master Matthew were talking about, liberals love talking about America's tribal past. For those interested in what people mean by liberals rewriting history to support their bias, check out what the College Board did with the AP United States History curriculum in 2014 and 2015. They rewrote it to revolve around struggles for peoples' rights and acceptance, there was a big conservative backlash, they ignored conservative complaints, then people threatened to use a competing business and they decided to re-revise their curriculum. Coming from a background of public education in California, I can confirm that history and just about everything is presented from a liberal viewpoint, with teachers offering little compromise on their presentation of the material. I still remember when my APUSH teacher told the class that Fox News and MSNBC were conservative and liberal networks, while CNN was a neutral network that showed stories without any real bias. Good stuff. |

The Confederacy never had a right to exist and we should not respect treason against the United States |
| Master Matthew²:
Well, if they are truly moving the statues to a museum, then I'll retract my previous statement. otherwise, my statement will stand. |

I'm not saying there's any need to respect rebellion, but you have to keep in mind these are Americans we're talking about. |
