And Now, A Few Words About U.S. History

Some people seem confused by the concept of treason and traitors.

The Confederacy took up arms against the United States. They did it, despite all that revisionist nonsense about "states' rights", to maintain the institution of slavery. After all, what capitalist doesn't dream of free labor? Even if it meant keeping millions of human beings in bondage. That's "our history".

They were traitors.

Their flags, all of them, are traitors' flags.

Their "heroes", all of them, were traitors.

The statues and other monuments to these people celebrate treason.

(By the way, in addition to being traitors, they were losers.)

This is only confusing to people who applauded when Reagan laid a wreath at that SS cemetery. Or, more recently, when Putin's lapdog does anything.

Go to New England. Look for a statue to King George III or General Cornwallis.

Go to Germany. Look for statues to Hitler, Goerring, or Rommel.

It is very easy to remember our history, unvarnished, without resorting to bronze memorials to treason and traitors and slavery.
