Regarding The Flap Over Confederate Statues

[Thumpalumpacus]

Yeah. I've stated right along that I'm only concerned with those on property maintained by taxpayer money.

That's what I was asking you dumb fuck when you replied to CJ,

"Statues on public property are maintained by tax dollars along with everything else on the property."

Since you're concerned over maintaining statues and monuments with taxpayers' money are you suggesting then that all statues and monuments of every kind on public property that are funded by taxpayers be removed....and as CJ pointed out to you will those taxpayer funded statues and monuments include the removal of those that are dedicated to MLK, Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln?

I dunno, since you're against gay marriage, are you suggesting all marriage be outlawed?

You're against legal marijuana, so you think alcohol should be outlawed as well.

You see the flaw in your thinking now? It's called a lack of nuance and it is indeed a form of strawman.

You can try to equivocate a statue of Lee and a statue of Jefferson all you want, but that doesn't change the fact that Lee's statue is only up because he committed treason in defense of a state's right to allow slavery. Jefferson's on the other hand, is probably there for the fact that he wrote the DoI ... or, I dunno, it could be because he was a fairly successful president.

In both cases, the men are being honored for their life's work. In one of those cases, their life's work was defending the ownership of another human being.
