Franklin Township Ohio To Reinstall Confederate Monument

[A Theist]

When I read A Theist's OP i considered it to be just a current event posting without any commentary by him.  He didn't say if he supported it or if he opposed it.  Maybe he had an ulterior motive in posting it but I saw it as just a neutral post about a current event.  

Some cities have removed Confederate statues and others have resisted.  Now it seems that one or two are being replaced.  At some point radicals on both sides may get to the point where they kill people over this issue.  One guy got busted before he could blow one of the idols up.  This is not a kid's game.  It's serious business.  Once the killings start it will be hard to stop.

I saw the stories pop up on my computer in the news headlines as a continuing event regarding Confederate statues and monuments. After looking further into the stories I thought that they would make for an interesting topic for discussion. Did I expect the back and forth shit flinging? Definitely not surprised. It's that way with just about every topic that we all submit for discussion.

Statue enthusiasts computer suggests stories that conform to the users statue enthusiasm.  Next at eleven, water is wet.

When I try to have reasonable discourse with a member, and all I get back from that member are insults and strawmen, then that's about all I'm going offer going forward. A Theist, when you can manage to fumble your way through a debate without using the words, 'snowflake', and 'Libtard', I'll play nice. Until then, you get what you give: vapid name calling with a noticeable lack of substance.

BULLSHIT...... I do not consider protecting monument's to thank those who wanted to keep ownership of other humans a "fun topic". A harsh reality everyone needs to talk about sure, but not "fun".

You fucking did this so you could falsely play victim and point fingers.

Hey shit for brains, can you point to anywhere in my response where I used the term, "fun topic"?

At least I'm the type of person who finds predictability comforting.  😏

I didn't want to shock you with something that was out of character for me.

Brian, I didn't advocate for ignoring Trump. Why don't you go back and reread what I wrote?

ATheist is not the only one doing some strawmanning in this thread.

[Thumpalumpacus]

Sad ... you let other people determine your own behavior.

I'll bet you whine about "angry atheist" stereotyping, too.

You've never been to East Texas, I gather. That's as Deep South as it gets. Try it sometime, no doubt you'll like it there.

Wow.

This is not complicated. We are not living in a time where we can afford the luxury of ignoring a political scapegoating bully like Trump. We know from the past that when politicians go beyond mere disagreement and use vilification where that tactic can lead. 

Silence is what allows others to determine your behavior. Speaking out against bullies is what allows you to determine your own behavior. 

Using a position if top power to make demands of blind loyalty and using scapegoating as a political tactic is dangerous rhetoric. 

If someone supports him, sorry, there is no polite way to put it, they are complicit. 

No president, in my lifetime, not even Bush Jr, Bush Sr, Reagan or Ford ever ran their campaigns like 45 has. This is not politics as normal.

I am not about to coddle the insecurities of those whom support a scapegoating bully.

This has already happened.

No there is no blame on many sides. There is only one politician setting up the conditions with his vile rhetoric.
