Re: Dedications over Time of Union Monuments in Five States

The Confederate Constitution of March 1861 also contained these provisions:

so what? i provided a link to the entire document and provided a sub-quote that was relevant to my post. pretty nefarious of me. the point is they made sure to enshrine in their constitution that an entire group of people would be un-able to govern themselves because they would be property. but at least they would have been owned by honorable gents. if you want to call that a pre-determined conclusion and pretend that you (or at least your historically accurate viewpoint) are the object of hate, have at it.

and another bunch of history half-wits strike again, this time in texas.

Confederate plaque removed from Texas state Capitol

A Confederate plaque has been taken down from the Texas state Capitol after a bipartisan effort from lawmakers to have it removed.

State officials on the Preservation Board voted unanimously on Friday to remove the “Children of the Confederacy Creed” that claimed that slavery was not the root cause of the Civil War.

If they do the General Lee will be renamed the General McClellan and the confederate flag replaced with a bugle sounding retreat. Fine with me as long as they don't change Daisy Duke.:smile:

Edit - a little clarification

I would be happy if they renamed it the General Sherman.

NO RESPECT The sickening vandals who attacked an RAF memorial know nothing of Bomber Command’s bravery and sacrifice

This is the sixth time that the RAF Bomber Command monument has been vandalized.

What I don’t get is why we ( some) are we so infatuated in absolving ancestors fighting 150 years ago fighting a war that was politically about the right to own another human being, but we have no issues condemning our ancestors 500 years ago doing the same thing to the Aztecs.

ut oh, here come all the States Rights! States Rights! arguments*

*that always seem to ignore that yes it was about States Rights, the State's Right to let their citizens own human beings

Yep. I guess while we are at it the majority of the Nazis should’ve been absolved because the Treaty of Versailles nearly destroyed Germany, and the Nazis’s main goal were to overturn the Stipulations of Versailles and not necessarily to kill Jews.

Funny how a state that goes to war over states rights wants to micromanage what every town in Alabama does.

Want to ban plastic bags in your city? Won’t be able to do so soon.

Next is wresting control over pet stores from cities and turning it over to the Ag department (already paralyzed by lack of resources), in order to keep cities from outlawing puppy mills. Our legislators don't waste any time in going low, once they get to Montgomery...

To be fair, plastic bag bans aren't that great anyway

its far past time to ban single use plastics. China is no longer taking our recycling and they last near forever in landfills. Now there are other, better options.

Well technically there is no better way to carry a bunch of puppies when you run out of space at your puppy mill.

Sorry just to clarify. I'm all for cutting down on plastic use. The bag bans just don't work that well.

Are Plastic Bag Bans Garbage?
