If you make an allegation against Dixie you should back it up with evidence
Is this Congress' Judgment On Confederate Heritage: Part 3
A little delayed, but here is Part 3 of Mr. Don Smith’s excellent series from Confederate Honor. Also, the pic and caption are my doing, not his. It is just a great illustration of leftist yankee hypocrisy. Why do we continue to fight for these people who hold nothing but hatred for us? - DD
“Allegation” may be too strong of a word. But “assertion” isn’t.
The Naming Commission’s final judgments, as laid out in the Preface to their final report, makes these bold assertions:
(1) In passing the 2021 William M. "Mac" Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act, the United States Congress determined that Confederates and the Confederacy no longer warrant commemoration through Department of Defense assets. In its work on their behalf, the Naming Commission determined many historical reasons that support this decision, grounded in the clear and uncontested facts of the Civil War Era.
(2) Most importantly, during the end of the nineteenth century and the start of the twentieth century, the South and much of the nation came to live under a mistaken understanding of the Civil War known as the “Lost Cause.” As part of the “Lost Cause,” across the nation, champions of that memory built monuments to Confederate leaders and to the Confederacy, including on many Department of Defense assets. In every instance and every aspect, these names and memorials have far more to do with the culture under which they were named than they have with any historical acts actually committed by their namesakes.
That raises two very important, even central questions:
What exactly are “the clear and uncontested facts of the Civil War Era?”
What was the “Lost Cause?” How did the Naming Commission define it?
The Preface doesn’t say. Neither does anywhere I can find in the report.
Think about that. A Congressional commission made sweeping, controversial judgements about a critical part of American heritage—-and didn’t bother to…
Wow, for shame, the government is trying to wipe out the Christian Southern history of the country...Shame on these satanists erasing American history.
