I liked the saying so much, I had to look that up:

I think even many people who want real confederate monuments to be removed would think that Madison went too far. And many who want them retained would think that Dreher goes a bit too far here.
Meaning?
The Madison Capital Times article is here:
It will just tick you off even more.
“There are white supremacists in our federal government and Klansmen in our streets. Things that might have been acceptable before Charlottesville are no longer OK,” Levitan said, referring to the violent 2017 white supremacists rally in Virginia that resulted in one death.”
You want to wipe out history?
It works both ways.
Lots of yankee graves in the south.
Hear, hear. My ancestors fought for family, neighbors and their home. They were poor and didn’t own much...let alone slaves.
That’s what I figured. I suggest you rethink what you’re saying. It’s wrong what these commie in Madison and elsewhere are doing. But it isn’t conservatives who are trying to erase history. By making vulgar comments about Union soldiers, you aren’t lashing out at the people who are destroying Confederate monuments and graves. You’re lashing out at American war dead in the exact same way as the people tearing down monuments.
You misunderstood.
Nobody here at FR wants to wipe out history.
English or Spanish please.
Yeah, my ancestor was actually a British subject, but fought for the Confederacy because he was living in Georgia when the war started. At the end of the war he and his troops refused to surrender and they fled into Mexico. He went from there to London, and then from London to British Columbia. Technically he could have been hanged if the Union captured him, but that never happened. Needless to say, he didn’t give a rip about slavery.
Agree.
I gave you a good source.
To Die in Chicago.
Read it.
True.
1. There is some dispute about the number of deaths at both Point Lookout and Camp Douglas. There may be at Elmira too but I haven’t read as much about that one.
2. The difference is one of intent. The entire CSA was suffering from a shortage of food and medicine at that time. The same cannot be said for the POW camps in the North.
America is too fat for a civil war. What a joke. There is not one person that would even comprehend the result of displacing what we have now.
A civil war to replace what we have now would be years of factional death and finally the strong men would take control. Then we’d all feel the boot on our neck.
You forget they’re against guns and we are not
It will be then, that they will find out just how far people like me are willing and prepared to go.
