The idea that there are still parks and places named after Civil War Generals from the South

seems odd to me. Why do we still glorify these people? Glorifying people who fought to keep people enslaved? WTF?

Lots of delicious DUmmy savagery in this thread.

6. There's a huge memorial in DC named for a dude who owned hundreds of slaves.

It's called "The Washington Monument".

37. Well, everyone is grateful for your input.

Treason against a state is worse than owning another human. Got it.

We'll make the changes immediately.

15. Why do people celebrate Columbus Day?

Why glorify a man who committed the atrocious acts that he did?

197. I'll ask you again for the fifth time in this thread:

Should public parks and other public spaces be named after Confederate traitors who fought to enslave African Americans?  

It should be an easy question for someone with progressive values and liberal beliefs posting on Democratic Underground to answer. Why won't you?

I think that the DUmmies have taken notice that conservatives are no longer intimidated by DUmmies calling them racist--the charge has lost its sting.  They have now been reduced to calling each other racists.  

The shoe's on the other hand now DUmmies.  How's it feel?

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

I think everything named after an infamous racist bigot democrat should be renamed.  We could start with JFK airport in New York and LBJ Freeway in Dallas.  It doesn't have to be limited to the Civil War era democrats.

Here in red state hell, we still have the Senator Albert Gore interstate highway system, glorifying a bigot who voted against the Civil Rights Act.

What's up with that?

Odd that they discuss their dislike of treason against the USA when their liberal ideology is the very embodiment of treason against the USA.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

"Why should white males be celebrated in any context at all? Every one of them bastards are sexist, racist, repressionist heathens!"

There, all-purpose DUmpmonkey comment ready to rock and roll. Lurkers welcome to use at will.
