robert e lee
 

Robert E Lee is and was a hero of his era. the very fact that in the US there is no continuing civil war is laid directly at the feet of Robert E Lee. black people having butt hurt does not change that fact.

if we are going to pull down memorials to hero's and men that changed the world in all fairness we must then take down the King statues and rename all the roads and hospitals and schools named after King should be changed.

if not, then that is blatant racism of the most hideous kind, institutionalized. :2 cents:

Stop having thoughts. You suck at it. You also have the writing skills of an elementary school child. How long have you been on this planet? Probably enough years to know the difference in usage between "heroes" and "hero's".

When trying to make a point, at least use Google to help you look half intelligent, otherwise the people who can overlook your blatant racism won't be turned off by your illiteracy.

The last president to own slaves at all was the eighteenth president, Ulysses S. Grant (1869-1877). Which U.S. Presidents Owned Slaves? - Home

In June 1866, he wrote that he couldn't support a monument of one of his best generals, Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, saying it wasn't "feasible at this time."

"As regards the erection of such a monument as is contemplated," Lee wrote in December 1866 about another proposed Confederate monument, "my conviction is, that however grateful it would be to the feelings of the South, the attempt in the present condition of the Country, would have the effect of retarding, instead of accelerating its accomplishment; [and] of continuing, if not adding to, the difficulties under which the Southern people labour."

Not only was Lee opposed to Confederate memorials, "he favored erasing battlefields from the landscape altogether," Horn wrote.

He even supported getting rid of the Confederate flag after the Civil War ended, and didn't want them them flying above Washington College, which he was president of after the war.

Robert E. Lee opposed Confederate monuments - Business Insider

lol keep deflecting

if you want a statue buy one! other people than white people pay taxes! they don't want it there!

to the extent the statues are offensive, that should be a matter for local people to decide, & to vote on, & to keep or remove them peacefully.

whats happening today is city folk, a national liberal propaganda press, outside of the south, preaching radical PC & hate to gullible young people, who are acting out violently at fucking statues. tell me how painting "black lives matter" on a defaced statue is constructive...a group inciting the murder of cops & spreading lies & hate & toppling statues is not peace, its not free assembly, & its not democratic.

funny how the people thinking & behaving like nazis are the ones calling other people nazis.

precious.

Who erects statues and monuments to a war's losers?

The Vietnam war monument is a monument to those that died for this country's arrogance and stupidity. Some of my friends and friends' brothers names are on that wall. That monument should serve are a warning -- so far, for too many, it has not.

this light blue is great

but a light poo is even better... :2 cents:

Wasn't that a song in "The Jazz Singer" ?

Wasn't Robert E Lee the reason the South lost? He won every battle he fought in, but at a very high cost... He used the same tactics the Soviets used during World War II - just pour men into the situation until they won. Eventually, there was no more men to add to the battle.

maybe you guys should spend your time not murdering each other instead of worry about bullshit statues that can't be killed actually. honestly the level of black political stupidity is alarming. just a thought.. you know?

and this from a military guy? wow...

bingo...

Keep talking out your ass. local government have decided that these statues need to come down and out of state neo nazis feel like they need to come in and protest. Funny how you love defending the indefensible

they are being fear-baited into removing them. otherwise, they'd of already be gone.

I don't think it's a good idea to erase part of our history as a country. Robert E. Lee is a part of that history. From that aspect, he should be remembered.

But if you celebrate him, then you are most likely an asshole.

Facts, history & science don't matter to redhats. You could have Robert E. Lee stand right in front of a redhat and tell them himself and they still wouldn't believe it.

They're brainwashed cucks pure & simple

Why was he a hero? He tried to break up the United States. He fought to maintain slavery. Are you so hate filled that you can't see why he might be offensive to some people?

They were put up in the 60's as counter point to the Civil Rights movement of the time. It is a racist symbol. No one puts up statues torment he loser of a horrible cause except those who are trying to send a message.

I read fucktards quoted text BC: yes free speech can be trying. like all the bullshit we hear from fucktards like this

you mean when the DEMOCRATES raised statutes all over the south in retaliation to desegregation? those statutes?

first off let me point out that you are ignorant and quite possibley stupid. if you are able to read at all, and that's supposing you have any reading comprehension... look up the civil war and the leaders... if you can take a break from repeating CCN/Obama/Clinton rhetoric and actually think for yourself? that would be asking a lot though wouldn't it?

and I'm going to take a big leap here and say you have no gratitude or appreciation for anything other than your own shit hole opinion. whoops! I used a dirty word!!! hang on don't spaz out and trigger!!! fuck! I'm so sorry

seriously the 4 words I HAVE NEVER HEARD A LIBERAL SAY OR WRITE: thank you, you're welcome.

honestly I do not associate with ungrateful self aggrandized people... if I wanted that I could hang out with porno girls. this is the very worst insult of all lol!! however I'm seeing a direct correlation between your selfish intellect and foolish porno girl thoughts and schemes... lol!!

maybe you can skip down to the park and blow a few hundred guys, set some kinda record or something?? it will be so brave of you!

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

honestly if you refuse a man a place in history that did his duty with honor and fought for his country. everything was taken from Lee. you do know that Arlington cemetery is LEE's homestead right? you do know that Lee is the guy that got the troops stop fighting.

here ya go. Robert E Lee quotes

In this enlightened age, there are few I believe, but what will acknowledge, that slavery as an institution is a moral & political evil in any country. It is useless to expatiate on its disadvantages.

We should live, act, and say nothing to the injury of anyone. It is not only best as a matter of principle, but it is the path to peace and honor.

I have fought against the people of the North because I believed they were seeking to wrest from the South its dearest rights. But I have never cherished toward them bitter or vindictive feelings, and I have never seen the day when I did not pray for them.

A Union that can only be maintained by swords and bayonets has no charm for me. If the Union is dissolved and government disrupted, I shall return to my native state and share the miseries of my people, and save in defense will draw my sword on none.

and this which I'm very sure will fly over your head...

Obedience to lawful authority is the foundation of manly character.

and this is you:

What a cruel thing war is... to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors.

all I ever hear from you fucking assholes is hate and vitriol and more fucking hate. does any thing worth a fuck ever come out of your shit hole mouth? just fucking curious lol!! I can just imagine what your physical health is like

Lee was a scumbag..

That's interesting, I've read similar negative going against the grain about Bill w. Orange-papers.net I think

What would you have done in Lee's place?

i see that school took down the lee statue

This explains all the inbreeding in the south. All the good me were killed leaving the women with the worst men and their cousins to have children with. We're seeing the results today.

This has turned into madness.
