monuments – Don Boys https://donboys.cstnews.com Common Sense for Today Sun, 05 Mar 2023 04:46:50 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.6.29 Leftist Haters of the South are Daft, Dumb, Devious, and Dishonest! https://donboys.cstnews.com/leftist-haters-of-the-south-are-daft-dumb-devious-and-dishonest https://donboys.cstnews.com/leftist-haters-of-the-south-are-daft-dumb-devious-and-dishonest#respond Fri, 18 Aug 2017 01:42:42 +0000 http://donboys.cstnews.com/?p=1882 Cicero wrote, “There is no opinion so absurd but that some philosopher will express it.” Well, we are seeing that in America as fanatics, not philosophers, run to and fro tearing down Confederate flags, removing military statues, digging up Confederate Generals, and sandblasting names of southern heroes from school buildings. Such people have the misfortune to be unhampered by either character, convictions, or class; consequently, such contemptible nonsense is easy and normal for them.

All haters are pathetic people but those of the left are especially odious because of their self-righteousness. They are daft, dumb, devious, and dishonest people who only see out of their left eye. It they looked with both eyes, they would see the obvious racism on the part of black leaders who often use racism as a way to get their fifteen minutes of fame–and to raise a few bucks. Confederate monument removal is simply the con of the week.

I call such senseless activity the Pelosi Syndrome which is a syndrome named for the vocal California Congresswoman and refers to her ability to speak almost acceptable English despite not having a functioning brain and a coordinating tongue.

I understand that sensitive Blacks might be offended at confederate monuments; however, many of us are often offended by many things including their apparent desire to be offended, but we always get over it. They will too. However, they are being encouraged in their insanity by local and federal officials.

Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings called for the formation of a task force to determine the fate of Confederate statues sitting in Dallas public parks. He opined, “This is simple. We could remove them, the question is, how do we heal on this issue? To do that we have to talk and listen to one another.” Well, there is another option: they can leave the monuments where they stand and all citizens can learn from them and become better people because of them and what they represent.

On one day, August 16, the headlines told the story of insanity: “Confederate monuments taken down in Baltimore overnight”; “NC SHERIFF ARRESTS MORE FOR MONUMENT TOPPLING”; “Pressure builds to remove Confederate faces off Stone Mountain”; “Brooklyn Army Base Urged to Rename Streets Honoring Generals”; “Black lawmakers say statues should come out of Capitol”; “Lincoln Memorial Vandalized”; “Dallas Mayor Calls Confederate Statues ‘Propaganda’”; and “Threats Force Hollywood Cemetery to Remove Memorial.”

Anyone see a trend here?

Americans on the left and the right sure know what’s important as is evidenced with this massive measure to move monuments while North Korea and Iran rattle their rockets. Some Americans are so concerned about stone or metal monuments and the “oppressive” message they convey that they spend their time and money to march, push, fight, yell, curse and get a face full of tear gas or risk a jail term or at least huge attorney fees. Those people need to get a life and job. (But then, many of them don’t need a job since they are funded by wealthy radical leftists.)

No one ever said all of our soldiers were valiant, virtuous, and venerable but if they were willing to die for a cause, they have a right to be honored for their sacrifice. I remind the know-nothings that soldiers on both sides were required to fight for their state and they followed orders that often meant death. Only jerks, mental midgets, or totalitarians would want to dishonor their memory.

And once again, I will remind everyone that Lincoln’s War of Northern Aggression against the genteel southland was not to free the slaves as Lincoln admitted, but he used it later as a “sales job” to prosecute the war. Taxes, tariffs, and states’ rights to nullification were the original reasons brother fought brother with over 600,000 dead. However, uninformed or dishonest people keep saying otherwise.

The thing that offends me is that the hypocrites on the left are the most inconsistent, illogical, and immature people in the world. They get offended at a stone statue that simply stands there as a representative of U.S. History that does no harm and doesn’t change a thing about their daily lives. But they don’t get offended when race-baiter Louis Farrakhan spits out anti-Semitic, anti-white, and anti-American rhetoric and challenges non-thinking Blacks to kill white cops! I get offended that he is not sitting in a federal prison for such divisive, dangerous, and deadly activity. I get more offended that self-righteous racists don’t get offended by him.

The very sensitive Blacks and non-thinking Whites cannot get angry and disturbed when black racists chant “Black Lives Matter” and chant to police officers: “Pigs in a blanket, fry ‘em like bacon.” Would some leftist please try to justify that for me? Could those black protestors be racists? Moreover, those black protestors went further chanting, “What do we want? Dead cops. When do we want it? Now.” Wonder why these leftists are not demanding such people be indicted for incitement to riot, disturbance of the peace, and assault? Why are none of them in prison at this time; and why are black leaders who are so concerned about inanimate statues, not horrified at the live, angry racists with black faces demanding death to courageous police officers–of all races?

Will the faces of Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln be chipped away from Mount Rushmore? That is not a rhetorical question. After all Washington and Jefferson did own slaves and Lincoln met all the definitions of a white supremacist as I revealed in my previous column. I wonder if all mention of the religious nuts John Brown and Nat Turner will be removed from text books. Probably not and young minds will continue to be corrupted with such nut cases who are made out to be heroes!

Yet, the left clings to the myth that the war was fought over slavery! It is the height of insanity to think that poor southern men would leave their homeland to fight for $11 per month (raised to $18 per month in 1864) for the right of fewer than 5% of southerners to hold slaves! The average Confederate soldier fought for the south because they were forced to and to keep northern soldiers from invading their homeland. Why make this complicated–and dishonest?

It seems many politicians, academics, and media moguls who hate the courage, character, culture, and commitment of the South are doing their best to deny, denigrate, and destroy Southern values. However, they have jumped on a bandwagon with loose wheels and will not know total victory–not without another uncivil war.

If I may quote myself: “Tyrants, totalitarians, and toadies never change; and modern politicians contin¬ue as in the past: they exaggerate their successes, excuse their shortcomings, and excise their sins, and they do that by rewriting history–even wrecking history.” The Communists are famous for that kind of work.

Karl Marx made a very astute comment that works here: “If you can cut the people off from their history, then they can be easily persuaded.” That’s what is happening across America and historical truth will suffer; but leftists are doing what they do best: tearing down, never building.

It seems truth doesn’t matter to most people anymore.

Hypocrites on the Left and Right in Charlottesville! https://donboys.cstnews.com/hypocrites-on-the-left-and-right-in-charlottesville https://donboys.cstnews.com/hypocrites-on-the-left-and-right-in-charlottesville#comments Mon, 14 Aug 2017 16:33:13 +0000 http://donboys.cstnews.com/?p=1876 There is no justification for the anarchy in Charlottesville in recent days. The killer, after he is found guilty, should be forthwith executed after one appeal. And I would take that position if he were a Baptist preacher.

This is America and everyone has a right to express his or her opinion but no one has a right to violently suppress the opinions of others. A large group of white supremacists had a uniting rally in Charlottesville, and they had that right. An opposing group had every right to express their opinion of disagreement. However, no one had a right to push, beat, hit, spit on, and get physical with others. And of course, the driver of the automobile that killed one and injured many others is a despicable person.

However, those on the left usually refuse to admit to any complicity in such matters. If an event advances their cause, they support it and downplay any culpability on their part. A good example is “Black Lives Matter,” a leftist group that makes much noise but little sense. It is shocking that anyone could support them over “All Lives Matter.” However, racists look for their preferred skin color in order to support them–no matter how clearly they were wrong. That is dishonesty and hypocrisy.

Black Lives Matter protestors in Minnesota and Texas chanted to police officers: “Pigs in a blanket, fry ‘em like bacon.” Would some leftists please try to justify that for me? Could those black protestors be racists? But the black racists went further chanting, “What do we want? Dead cops. When do we want it? Now.” What is the difference in them and the jerks in Charlotte?

An acknowledgment of wrong on both sides would not excuse the haters and bigots on either side. In this particular case, the driver of the car was one of the haters and bigots. I wonder how the hypocrites on the left would have responded had the driver been a leftist bigot instead of a far right bigot?

The “far right” protestors were there to protest the city’s decision to remove a statue of General Robert E. Lee. Some of them wore “Make America Great Again” hats. Does it surprise anyone that Trump has some far right nuts supporting him? It is admitted that both sides were violent by throwing bottles, hitting with sticks, etc.

Participants of both the white supremacist rally and counter-protesters traded blows and hurled bottles at one another, according to news accounts. I say, “A pox on both groups.”

President Trump criticized the event but not to the satisfaction of Democrats and some Republicans. Critics strongly accused the President of not singling out white supremacists. Of course, the Trump-haters would have castigated him for whatever he said.

One report commented on the “violence incited by the hundreds of protesters toting flags with swastikas and the Confederate flag.” The reports did not tell us that there were scores of swastikas and scores of Confederate flags. Or maybe scores of Confederate flags and a few swastikas. There is a world of difference in the two although non thinkers disagree.

Former President Obama (wow, it is so refreshing to write that) got into the issue by quoting Nelson Mandela; however, he did not mention that Mandela was arrested with his handwritten copy of “Why I am a Communist.” I wrote at the time of his death, “Very few in the media are willing to tell the truth about this very soiled secular ‘saint.’ In fact, this will probably be the only thorough, truthful, and thoughtful information you will find on Mandela. Those bowing at the shrine of political correctness will suggest that it is tart, tacky, if not tasteless.”

For the young and the uninformed, it should be known that Mandela spent 27 years in prison because he was a saboteur (which he admitted at his trial) and espionage agent working against his government. He was not imprisoned because he fought for freedom but because he was involved in 23 different acts of sabotage and conspiring to overthrow the government. He should have been executed, but a soft court went wobbly at his 1963 trial.

Nelson Mandela was a Black terrorist, but after his release by the hated white regime, he became rather docile and assumed a statesman-like persona. Except when he had seizures of stupidity by praising black tyrants from Angola to Zimbabwe. Mandela never saw a black dictator he didn’t like. That’s true of American Liberals also!

No, Obama “forgot” or chose not to reveal those facts about Mandela. It seems it is acceptable to be a terrorist, or saboteur, etc., if one is a black leftist. I don’t like black or white leftists.

Cities and states have the right to remove whatever monuments they choose; however, they are not consistent in doing so. Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson were two of the most godly and principled men to ever live. Following the war, an insurance company offered Lee its presidency at a whopping annual salary of $10,000. They assured him that he would not have any duties since they only wanted the use of his name. But Lee told them his name was not for sale, declaring, “I cannot consent to receive pay for services I do not render.”

He later accepted $1,500 a year as president of Washington College in Lexington, Va., refusing to take any more than what the school could afford. That’s character–by which we should judge everyone.

If the left insist on removing monuments to white supremacists then they must also remove the Lincoln Memorial and all the cities and streets named for the Great Emancipator. Lincoln wrote to Horace Greeley, “If I could save the Union without freeing any slaves, I would do it.” Lincoln was quite prepared to either perpetuate or end slavery to save the Union.

Lincoln’s white supremacist views are clearly expressed in his famous debates with Sen. Stephen Douglas, Lincoln explained to the crowd: “I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races … I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races from living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be a position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.”

Will the hypocrites on the left try to rehabilitate Lincoln? No, they will pretend he was not like David Duke. After all, it is easier to hate Duke. Have you noticed that when Duke is mentioned, he is always identified as a “former Klan member”? Have you also noticed that when Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court Hugo Black was mentioned, it was never revealed that he was a former member of the KKK? Have you noticed the same thing with former Senate leader Robert Byrd of West Virginia? He is never mentioned as a former member of the Klan! Wonder why? Could it be because they were the darlings of the Democrat Party and the Main Stream Media?

Just another example of the hypocrisy of the left. The Hill reported, “Protesters rallying in the name of the Charlottesville victims on Sunday night protested Trump at Trump Tower in New York City and Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. Demonstrators held signs that read ‘No Free Speech For Fascists’ and ‘Make Racists Afraid Again…Smash White Supremacy!” I have heard no whining leftist rebuke those demonstrators and their demand to squash free speech.

Since the leftist crowd is going after all white supremacists and slave owners, then they will be consistent and honest and demand that the Egyptian pyramids be razed to the desert sand since they too were built by slaves.

Don’t hold your breath unless you like the color of blue.
