Next headline should be:
Vandals vandalized by anti-vandal statue protectors.

Scene in Death Wish film when citizens bring disheveled and bloodied criminal to police station. “He fell down a couple of times and hurt himself on the way here.”

Happens to vandals when they aren’t careful.

Vandals don’t tolerate conservatives or confederates.

We do not tolerate communists. MLK goes.

See post about that Congo woman now in the US (allowed legally)who spouted filth about our country being fascist (she had climbed and protested Statue of Liberty).
It is terrible she has to live here among us and be so angry about our beliefs and way of life and Constitution and all.

We must help her and her kind to leave for the glorious life in Africa.

The libtards say that Lee fought to preserve slavery. I say “What if he did?”

We have been taught in government schools that slavery is evil. But the Bible (the unerring, perfect WORD OF GOD). Teaches otherwise. All races have been enslaved. It’s only a sin if the slaves are mistreated.

If the Confederacy had won independence, I’m sure its schools would NOT be run by the government and would take teach the Biblical perspective.

The destruction of the Confederacy led to the takeover of the USA by “progressives,” the early Marxists, and international financial interests. The school’s don’t teach that, either.

"Vandals vandalized by anti-vandal statue protectors."

Tattoo their foreheads with a likeness of the statue they vandalized.

“Virginia Capitol Police, which is responsible for policing the monuments..”

Who don’t actually police the monuments.

[Bonemaker]

“We are very, very close to the liberal left insisting we tear down all statues of Washington....”

We are also very, very close to something else.

[Bonemaker]

“Tattoo their foreheads with a likeness of the statue they vandalized. “

With a soldering iron.

[frank ballenger]

I like it.

[Guenevere]

What.?
....did I say wrong.

[Lazamataz]

Nothing wrong. I love you.

We have been taught in government schools that slavery is evil. But the Bible (the unerring, perfect WORD OF GOD). Teaches otherwise. All races have been enslaved. It’s only a sin if the slaves are mistreated.

A freeman deprived of his freedom is by definition being mistreated. Slavery is evil. Don't misappropriate Scripture to say otherwise.

Exodus is all about freedom from slavery. When one engages in sinful behavior he becomes a slave to sin. "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin." (John 8:34)

Jesus Christ taught us servant leadership, and He became our suffering servant by His own choice.

Jesus Christ is all about freedom.

"You shall know the TRUTH and the TRUTH shall set you free." (John 8:32)

Your position endorsing slavery is completely estranged from the Truth you pretend claim.

FReegards!

I never “endorsed” slavery. I merely pointed out that the Confederacy was not evil. It was fighting to preserve their way of life.

Maybe it was a way of life most people would disapprove of nowadays. But slavery has existed for eons and scripture does not denounced it in every case.

King David was a slave owner and was praised by God.

[Agamemnon]

King David was a slave owner and was praised by God.

King David was an adulterer too, and one whom God considered to be "a man after God's own heart" (Acts 13:22). King David, as an adulterer and as a slave holder, did evil.

God may have praised David, but not because he was either an adulterer or a slave holder.

Isaiah writes: “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord hath anointed Me to preach good tidings unto the meek. He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound, (Isaiah 61:1)

Jesus Christ is about setting the captive free, not celebrating their slavery.

The Confederacy and its leaders were evil, since what they did split the nation and resulted in 600,000 un-necessary dead and wounded Americans.

No other way to slice it: that was evil.

Not all who served in the Confederate military nor those who lived in the Confederacy were personally evil, though some certainly were. Since the 1950's Confederate military have been considered veterans officially in current US law.

England outlawed slavery in the 1830's. England's monied interests continued to profit from slavery by merely off-shoring the practice, as it continued to profit from it in North America.

That was evil.

The Confederacy was a proxy of European monied interests to divide and re-conquer this Nation, make the US indebted to European bankers, and to re-colonize us.

That was evil.

FReegards!

Professor Emeritus James Robertson of Virginia Tech University gave a speech on July 28,2018, that addressed this issue of the Confederate Monuments and Robert E. Lee very well and would be advantageous if every one would read or see it. It was broadcast on C-Span.
