AOC and Jennifer Rubin are collaborating on a BDSM video series for toddlers entitled "Naughty Fun for Wee Folk." Episodes include "Dirty Dolly" and "Faster, Fire Truck, Faster."
150 years in the future: “And this is a statue of my ancestor, Hugh Jimbissel, who pooped in his hands and smeared it all over the walls of this great Capitol building. The artist did a great job of capturing how hard he strained his bowels for freedums, don't it?”
Walsh next podcast: “Sure hitler, goebbels and himmler did some bad stuff, but they went on to increase their country's land area by millions of hectares! Besides, everybody knows after the war himmler went back to distinguished chicken farming and eventually founded Munichky Fried Chicken!”
Isn’t it about time we reconsidered the contributions of one time American war hero Benedict Arnold ?OK, sure, he sold out the plans to West Point for an English takeover and potential control of the Hudson River. For lots of money. And yes, he did lead raids against Americans where civilians were killed.But he was a hero at the Battle of Saratoga. And he need more money to fit in to high society and to satisfy his wife”s social climbing. Who among us can blame him for taking the cash?Happy wife.Happy life.
The picture of Joseph Wheeler in Statuary Hall (Wikipedia) shows him in full uniform with CSA clearly visible on his belt buckle. He did wear a US uniform in the Spanish-America war, but this is how his home state chose to represent him.
The statue would look better at the bottom of the Anacostia River.
What is it with wingnuts? First they claim democrats are the party of the Confederacy, then they whine when democrats suggest that we stop honoring confederate traitors with statues.
One of my ancestors lost the use of his right arm that day, fighting in C Company, the Sixth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry,1st Brigade ("The Iron Brigade"), 1st Division, I Corps, Army of the Potomac.. He had volunteered out of the little town of Cassville, WI in the spring of 1861. The 6th suffered 60% casualties that day, the brigade overall 61%, and it was never the same afterward. Try to imagine that- pick 10 people you know, and in the space of one day six of them are killed, wounded or captured. They stood off twice their numbers for most of a day, captured hundreds of prisoners (including the first Rebel General from Lee's army to be taken in battle) and held the high ground behind the town long enough for the rest of the army to come up and form the line that Meade held for the rest of the battle.
Matt Walsh: "Everyone who lived in the South from 1861-5 was a Confederate, so post-1861 people must be erased from history according to liberals."Harriet Tubman: "Say what?"
After all, there was so much more to these fine people than just their time in the Confederate Army. There was all the hard work they did to reimpose white supremacy after the end of Reconstruction, but hey, at least they were no longer Confederates then, so it all works out.
That's right, Dok! I mean, if we were to penalize major political and ideological leaders, like, for instance, judges, it would be completely unimaginable to put up statues to such paragons of racism, vote suppression, and destruction of democracy as Samuel Alito and John Roberts! But that would clearly be wrong, because these people were and are thought leaders of the conservative resistance to the fundamentally un-American extension of suffrage to people who aren't white, rich, and male. We need to start the petition to honor Sam and John for their contributions to white supremacy and original intent in statuary form. I'd say that we need to do it before it's too late, but it looks like they're doing pretty well about choking all the voices that might object, without any help from us.
When Sherman's army reached South Carolina Union foragers (Sherman's "bummers") started getting lynched, sometimes tortured. It was suspected that Joe Wheeler's cavalry were responsible, as they and the state militia were the only resistance Sherman met most of the time; it was debated at army group HQ whether they ought to retaliate, man for man, but was decided not to.Foragers were a common part of pre-twentieth century war; until supply services were mechanized, troops in the field often had to "live off the land", to rob the farms and stores in their area to feed the soldiers. Wheeler's Rebel Cavalry were just as notorious for robbing their own farmers as the Yankees were- the sight of soldiers on your farm or in your town was a thing to dread, whether they were on your side or not.Wheeler's cavalry were also guilty of killing or re-enslaving hundreds of runaways who were stranded on the wrong side of Ebenzer Creek in Georgia when Union General Jefferson C. Davis had the army's pontoon bridge taken up before all the refugees who followed the army could cross.
Make up your mind!!!!!
One of my best friends is a descendant of the Smalls family. I;m still convinced someone could make a great movie about Robert Smalls' story.

In the paraphrased words of Wanda Sykes: “If your heritage involves racism and white supremacy your heritage is shit!”

Longstreet is one of the few former Confederate officers who redeemed himself after the war.
