A Monumental Spin

By H.V. Traywick, Jr. on Aug 16, 2017

It takes men of worth to recognize worth in men. – Thomas Carlyle
Totalitarian movements are mass organizations of atomized, isolated individuals. – Hannah Arendt
Yea, they would pare the mountain to the plain to leave an equal baseness. – Tennyson

The mob attacks on Confederate monuments remind me of the “useful idiots” and “rent-a-thugs” who are happily condoned, if not employed outright by collectivist States to divert the passions of the masses. We suspect the real reason these monuments are under attack is not because of the specious “Jim Crow” charges leveled at them by the “Black Lives Matter” crusaders, but because these men were secessionists, the worst enemies of Empire. Therefore they must be discredited, for they expose The Myth of American History, which proclaims that “The Civil War was all about slavery, the righteous North waged it to free the slaves, and the evil South fought to keep them. End of story. Any questions?”

Well, yes. Something doesn’t compute, here. If the North were waging a war on slavery, why didn’t she wage war on New England cotton mills and their profits from slave-picked cotton? Or on New York and Boston, the largest African slave-trading ports in the world according to the January 1862 New York Journal of Commerce?

THE HELL YOU SAY?

Georgia Gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams calls for the removal of the giant stone carving that depicts Confederate President Jefferson Davis and two of the greatest and most honorable Confederate Generals the South ever produced from the face of state-owned Stone Mountain saying it "remains a blight on our state and should be removed".

 

 

 

"We must never celebrate those who defended slavery and tried to destroy the union," Abrams said in a series of tweets posted early Tuesday as a response to the deadly violence that occurred this past Saturday in Charlottesville, VA. Sadly, Abrams and other race hustlers who are fixated with erasing the history of our great nation know very little in regards to this period in America's past. I sincerely doubt most of these idiots could even name the century in which the epic struggle known as "War Between the States" occurred. Neither do these enemies of Liberty have any concept of "cause and effect". They need to stop before the fulcrum reaches a "tipping point".

 

The liberal point of view can be read HERE if anyone can bear to read it.  http://theferalirishman.blogspot.com/2017/08/the-hell-you-say.html

What they are doing is destroying The Great Compromise that Shelby talks about. What is so sad (?) infuriating (?) is those doing this don't know the 1st thing about this.
