With all this crap going on it really makes me upset that “these people “ because blacks and whites are tearing down historical landmarks a Christopher Columbus statue here in Ct was being talked about removing it’s insane
It should be mandatory jail time!
Hey does it offend me that I can’t detect these same areas Because they’re historical landmarks well that shouldn’t matter anymore but I’m a better person.
So does two wrongs make a right ? no I’m the law abiding person who in the end gets the short end of the stick while these thugs go on destroying history and towns cities dividing the country I pray someday our fellow Americans will learn from their mistakes.
At least all of us here on the forums loves history and when found preserves it.
I love this country who wouldn’t?!!
What say you?
I posted this in today’s finds sorry if it has to be moved but I just wanted to voice I believe what most of us here believe in History.View attachment 4811

God is speaking! Are we listening & obeying He Who rules & reigns Supreme? This verse goes right along with my posting of the Scriptures in 1 Chronicles -- Chapter 29-verses 10-13 in the CMD Forum--I have trouble seeing & posting on my Computer so forgot to add PS 24:1The earth is the LORD's, and the fullness thereof; the world, & they that dwell therein.

Your correct 100% social media was designed to do this divide people and families.
I’m afraid it’s coming to a boiling point its a hair trigger a reaction that’s what they’re looking for one person that will not take it anymore that pulls out a gun and starts shooting when someone breaks into the wrong house.
Or fears for their life and drives through a mob of rioters who are trying to get into their car !
It’s not if but when my guess soon .

I was supposed to post Psalms 24.1 but forgot as it takes me a long time to post scriptures; and I forget too easily! I am of the last generation knowing what WWII was like--I will be 85 in July & had an uncle & great-uncle in that war! Also, a brother in the Navy & one in the Army in the 60's--both worked on automobiles & war planes & machinery & have passed away! One by suicide in his 60's & the older, near my age had PAH & only 72! I miss them both very, very much! God Bless you to stay well! Ma Betty

It's lonely out here. I would have been thrown in jail or worse for that kind of speech back in the day. 1st Amendment back when America was Great?

So if we start removing statues and monuments for real or perceived support of past injustices where do we stop? MLK and JFK for infidelity and treatment of women? The Wall of Vietnam Veteran’s monument because of injustices commented against the people’s of Vietnam? If any of you have read our current history class curriculum you would be appalled at what has been scrubbed and added. Our children are not being taught history warts and all so that the unsavory parts are not repeated. They are being indoctrinated into believing our country was conceived and created under false pretenses and that they have no stake in it. No ability to form and create their own future. They are disenfranchised and need to destroy it. Tear down it’s foundations and let what government is left, a Marxist/socialist one, define their future. That will not end well. Look at countries like Venezuela for an example.

When I walk by a statue or monument I don’t honor it. I may or may not respect what it stands for depending on who or what it represents. It evokes an artist impression on a specific point in time. You then put that into historical context and draw conclusions on how far we have came and possibly how far we have yet to go as citizens and a country. By wiping it all out you destroy this historical timeframe/context and you are left without a reference to past and future events that have shaped and will shape our country.

Maybe or some voting ballots fraud going on--Changed or the Republican ballots hidden or more Democrat Ballots suddenly found after counting is supposed to be done! I hope & pray that President Trump keeps close watch on stopping illegals from voting & illegal voting of Socialist DEM fraud! Remember when AL GORE tried to manipulate with Bill Clinton against BUSH & Florida's ballots had to be recounted even the chads hanging on the back of them that weren't completely punched through! BUSH won but he was a RINO president--A Republican president in name only, but far better than evil AL GORE & the wicked, lying Clintons! Ma Betty

I feel like I should put my opinion of this "find" topic in perspective by listing some of my own history. The truth hurts. I'm a 59 yr old white man who has lived in the South all my life. I've been able to live in any part of town I wish my whole life. Not true for black men. We've all heard the phrase "There goes the neighborhood". My house and property appreciates in value. Not true for black men. Check the appraisals across the tracks and you'll see why they can't move into a better neighborhood. By the way, every town I've ever lived in required people of color to live, worship, shop, school, and be buried in a segregated area up until the 1950s or 60s. If they shared a cemetery, it was divided by a fence. My father was the manager of a 5 and 10 store in Hattiesburg, Miss. in 1964. He had a white woman arrested for vagrancy for bringing black school children in to eat lunch at the lunch counter. They could serve the children but could not serve the woman because white people were not allowed to associate with black people. They just returned from being refused to enter the local library. She sued for denial of her civil rights and lost because her lawyers couldn't prove there was systemic racism in Hattiesburg! This judgement came from the Mississippi courts. The Supreme Court of the US overturned the decision in 1970 stating the incredible deficiency of reasoning behind the decision in Mississippi. I'm not proud of my father, but that's history. My father's side of the family came from Alabama and settled in the area around Greenville, Texas. A billboard outside Greenville stated to all that drive in "The Blackest Land, The Whitest People" until around 1980. No lie. All my relatives used the "N" word regularly. If they interacted with any black people, the phrase was "They're Okay for a "N". When I was a child, a slingshot was called a "N" shooter. "Eeny, Meeny, Mimy, Moe. Catch a "N" by the toe". The black side of town was called "N-Town". I remember throwing hickory nuts at some black men doing yard work for a neighbor down the street and yelling "Go home "N"!" This is how systemic racism works. You pass it down from generation to generation. This was how I was raised by my unbroken home. Culture in my town was a brass statue of John H. Reagan, Postmaster General of the Confederacy in Reagan Park, where Reagan High School was. Right along Reagan Street. After all, even a postmaster in the CSA deserves to be immortalized with a statue in 1911. 46 years after the Civil War. This is the South in a nutshell. This is every town in the South. Does any of this spark memories, make any sense, or make you feel proud. Make America Great Again? What is the Great that I'm missing here. If you believe everything has changed so much that people of color have nothing to fear, then you're living in a milky white bubble. Fat, old, white men have something to fear now. Soon they will be in the minority and it scares the * out of them. Let's protect these useless statues at all cost! Those Americans out there tearing down statues are as American as apple pie. It's a revolution that was inevitable. Revolution is never clean and pretty. Move them to a museum where it can be explained historically correct. Imagine an 8 year old black child walking up to a statue of Lee, and wandering, "This man must have done something great to get a statue in a public park." After all, that's why we erect statues.

I understand what your saying but we have laws and mob mentality and rioting and burning down your neighborhood along with tearing down any historical landmark is wrong what's next the statue of liberty! mount Rushmore!?? A majority of these people are criminals and should have been arrested!
Hey look out sooner or later it may be your neighborhood that the riots break in I pray not for anymore to happen.
I'm sure if I went down to the town center and started to remove a historical landmark I would be arrested immediately !

Anarchists, murderers, people who destroy property, lives, and businesses, and assault people they disagree with are among those tearing down statues. If they are your idea of American as apple pie, I'll stick with the fat, old white men. There's one 8 year old black girl in Atlanta that won't get the chance to ask questions ever again.

Funny how some people are all for revolution until it comes to their door.

 

[BobOso]

very offended, by all the statues being removed or destroyed, same for the confederate flag, having being raised in the South, the flag represented Southern Pride, and nothing else. considering names of landmarks are now being changed .



The Washington Foreskins



I think all sports fans and most everybody else will get a kick out of this letter written to the Chicago Tribune. No matter which side you are on in the matter of renaming the Washington Redskins, this guy is hilarious...


This is an e-mail sent to Clarence Page of the Chicago Tribune after an article he published concerning a name change for the Washington Redskins.

Dear Mr. Page: I agree with our Native American population. I am highly jilted by the racially charged name of the Washington Redskins. One might argue that to name a professional football team after Native Americans would exalt them as fine warriors, but nay, nay. We must be careful not to offend, and in the spirit of political correctness and courtesy, we must move forward.

Let's ditch the Kansas City Chiefs, the Atlanta Braves and the Cleveland Indians. If your shorts are in a wad because of the
reference the name Redskins makes to skin color, then we need to get rid of the Cleveland Browns.

The Carolina Panthers obviously were named to keep the memory of militant Blacks from the 60's alive. Gone. It's offensive to us white folk.

The New York Yankees offend the Southern population. Do you see a team named for the Confederacy? No! There is no room for any reference to that tragic war that cost this country so many young men's lives. I am also offended by the blatant references to The Catholic religion among our sports team names. Totally inappropriate to have the New Orleans Saints, the Los Angeles Angels or the San Diego Padres.


Then there are the team names that glorify criminals who raped and pillaged. We are talking about the horrible Oakland Raiders, the Minnesota Vikings, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the Pittsburgh Pirates!

Now, let us address those teams that clearly send the wrong message to our children. The San Diego Chargers promote irresponsible fighting or even spending habits. Wrong message to our children.

The New York Giants and the San Francisco Giants promote obesity, a growing childhood epidemic. Wrong message to our children. The Cincinnati Reds promote downers/barbiturates. Wrong message to our children.

The Milwaukee Brewers. Well, that goes without saying. Wrong message to our children.

So, there you go. We need to support any legislation that comes out to rectify this travesty because the government will likely become involved with this issue, as they should. Just the kind of thing the do-nothing Congress loves.

As a die-hard Oregon State fan, my wife and I, with all of this in mind, suggest it might also make some sense to change the name of the Oregon State women's athletic teams to something other than "the Beavers (especially when they play Southern California. Do we really want the Trojans sticking it to the Beavers???

I always love your articles and I generally agree with them. As for the Redskins name I would suggest they change the name to the "Foreskins" to better represent their community, paying tribute to the dick heads in Washington DC.

God already has her destined for Hell Fire & can't come for His Children & Faithful Servants, for soon Jesus is coming to take us to our forever Home & the ones going after anyone, it will be her as satan sets his ironclad chains entraping her soul to be suffering with him in the punishing & tormenting flames of where there is no way to escape after the mortal body ends in death! She is a LOSER & losers never win in the long run for God rules forever & is Supreme!! Amen! Ma Betty

Tree Hugger Bible Thumper Self-Proclaimed Christians are responsible for all of this! Several Denominations have admitted to it! It is well documented! It was not Democrats, or Republicans! Lincoln joined the Republicans around the time he ran for President! He was a leader in the Whig party! Republicans were in their infancy! One would be very hard pressed to even assume it was a party issue! One does not see White Supremacists carrying signs portraying to be of any political party! They carry signs portraying justification premised on Biblical scripture! The land mark scripture: Gen 9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
There is a message in this scripture as with 'all scripture'!
Lev 18:8 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
Gen 9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
Gen 9:25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
Summary: The message Ham 'committed adultery'!
Ham like all males, could not wait to tell it! "[a]nd told his two brethren without.
Ham left his son when he committed adultery!
Noah was a human being! He could not place a curse on anybody! Keep it real!
Noah merely stated a fact! "[C]ursed be Canaan"!
Gen 9:24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
Shem, and Ham, and Japheth were triplets! The younger son was Noahs' stepson, and grandson, all rolled up into one! Canaan!
This scripture has been twisted until nobody knows what it says! You do! I just told you!
And, it was the Tree Hugger Bible Thumper Self-Proclaimed Christians who used Gods' precious Word to promote slavery!
It is a Christians' duty to see their error, and correct it!
History must be taught!

And, scripture is not taught in the Churches! All Denominations teach Christiandom dogma. The Bible is replete:
Rom_16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
1Co_1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
1Co_3:3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
1Co_11:18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
All Churches teach 'their own' deeds.
Rev_2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
All Churches teach 'their own' doctrine.
Rev 2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
The above scripture states clearly do not go to any Denomination! None of them teach Gods' precious word.
1Pe_4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
The Math formulae for division: Numerator on top Denominator on bottom = Denominations
Denominations is nothing more, or less than a geographical issue! It is simply determined by where one lives. People go to Church premised on 'peer pressure'! They simply go to church so others can 'see that they 'go to church'! And, they attend some local church Denomination because 'it' is a convenient commute'; therefore, it is pre-determined what Denomination they are by where they live. Period!
