Regarding The Flap Over Confederate Statues

[Rev. Rye]

There are no monuments to Hitler in Berlin.

That's only because he lost.   Oh.  Robert E Lee lost too.

Erwin Rommel has no less than three army bases in Germany named after him. Also two museums, a public memorial, and also Jah knows how many public streets in Germany, as well as establishments in Mersa Matruh, where he once held a command.

I suppose not entirely cottoning to the Nazi ideology helped with that; sort of why I think Robert E. Lee, who didn't particularly care for slavery, deserves a pass despite fighting for a nation whose sole raison d'etre was the preservation of slavery in its worst forms. I'm sure I've discussed to death the long-standing disconnect between why many Confederates fought for the South and why the South split in the first place.

There are not-exactly-racist reasons the Confederacy still has admirers is all I'm saying.
