B-Man Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Nonsense continues. Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro announced the renaming of the USNS Maury, an ocean survey ship that will be called the USNS Marie Tharp, per Military.com. “This renaming honors Marie Tharp, a pioneering geologist and oceanographic cartographer who created the first scientific maps of the Atlantic Ocean floor and shaped our understanding of plate tectonics and continental drift,” Del Toro stated. The ship’s former name was after Confederate naval officer Matthew Maury, “who is considered the father of the science of oceanography,” the outlet continued.

B-Man Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 VA updates mission statement by dropping Abraham Lincoln quote KAREN TOWNSEND Abraham Lincoln delivered his second inaugural address on March 4, 1865. One quote from the address was adopted by the Department of Veterans Affairs – “To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan.” In today’s world of hypersensitive speech requirements, Honest Abe’s words are no longer relevant. The quote only includes a male pronoun, implying that only males serve in the military. Everything has to be gender-neutral these days. Who knew gender neutrality would be demanded of historical speeches from the 1800s? Yet, here we are. Sorry, Abe. The quote is out. https://hotair.com/karen-townsend/2023/03/17/va-updates-mission-statement-by-dropping-abraham-lincoln-quote-n537578 . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Now Agatha Christie novels are being rewritten: Author's Poirot and Miss Marple mysteries have had original passages reworked or removed by publishers to avoid offending modern audiences by Natasha Anderson Agatha Christie's novels are the latest works to be rewritten to eliminate verbiage that has been deemed insensitive or inappropriate, it has emerged. Several of the passages in the author's Poirot and Miss Marple mysteries have reportedly been reworked or stripped altogether from new editions of the books. Publisher HarperCollins eliminated text containing 'insults or references to ethnicity', as well as descriptions of certain characters' physiques, The Telegraph reported. (Snip) New editions of Ms Christie's novels, reviewed by the newspaper, showed that editors have made 'scores of changes' to her books. The novels, penned between 1920 and 1976, were stripped of sections of 'unsympathetic' dialogue, apparent insults and character descriptions. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11903609/Agatha-Christie-novels-rewritten-avoid-offending-modern-audiences.html . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted May 12, 2023 Author Share Posted May 12, 2023 https://thehill.com/policy/defense/4001446-army-training-base-fort-benning-renamed-fort-moore/ The U.S. Army training base Fort Benning was renamed Fort Moore on Thursday, as part of a larger effort by the military to remove associations with the Confederacy. The Georgia base, which was previously named for Confederate general Henry L. Benning, was redesignated in honor of Lt. Gen. Harold “Hal” Moore and his wife, Julia “Julie” Moore. “Together, Hal and Julie Moore embody the very best of our military and the very best of our nation,” Maj. Gen. Curtis A. Buzzard, the base’s commanding general, said at Thursday’s ceremony, according to an Army press release. “They were dedicated to their country, committed to their family, and inspired generations of Soldiers to follow in their footsteps,” Buzzard added. Harold Moore commanded the 7th Cavalry Regiment stationed at the base during the Vietnam War, while his wife served as an advocate for military families.

B-Man Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Cancelling History By David Lewis Schaefer FTA: Coolidge, Marshall, and the authors of our Declaration and Constitution had it right. Today’s progressives, for whom written guarantees have no meaning if they seem out of date, are wrong. Both our prosperity and our liberty depend, as Coolidge observes, on adherence to the rule of law and the Constitution as well as the timeless principles stated in the Declaration. Those who sought to enforce eugenic policies had no less confidence in the superiority of their “scientific” doctrines to those of the founders than today’s progressives do in theirs. Neither group rivaled the wisdom of America’s founders, who have been vindicated by the historical record. https://americanmind.org/salvo/cancelling-history/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeviF Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Why is it that the folks who shed blood and whose brothers died fighting the confederates had less hatred towards them than these rabid anti-confederates today, whose ancestors for the most part came from the third world or Eastern Europe sometime after the war? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was plenty of hatred of confederates. There were vigilante squads all over the south. And who could blame them? They were traitors and criminals.

LeviF Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 https://cbs6albany.com/news/local/three-years-after-proposal-controversial-schuyler-statue-removed-from-albany-city-hall# Quote Dr. Alice Green of the Center for Law and Justice, who has been pushing for the removal of the statue for years, says Schuyler’s impact needed to be addressed. "The statue is a continuing reminder that we were enslaved. It's painful to have that reminder every time I go down to city hall or drive past it." Philip Schuyler, unsung hero of the revolution who was almost single-handedly responsible for the rebellion’s crushing of the Saratoga campaign, eventual US Senator, has his statue removed for being a wealthy man who owned slaves in a time when every wealthy man owned slaves. If you’re a conservative and somehow still think that “confederates” are the target of this nonsense I’ve got a couple bridges to sell you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Read past the headline. Save the Confederate Memorial at Arlington: A commission will tear down this monument to national healing by year’s end if we don’t act. By Jim Webb In 1898, 33 years after the end of the Civil War, the Spanish-American War brought a sudden, unanticipated harmony and unity to a country that had been riven by war and a punitive postwar military occupation, which failed at wholesale societal reconstruction. In the South, American flags flew again as the sons of Confederate soldiers volunteered to fight, even if it meant wearing the once-hated Yankee blue. President William McKinley presciently seized this moment to mend a generation’s sectional divide. McKinley understood the Civil War as one who had lived it, having served four years in the 23rd Ohio Infantry, enlisting as a private and discharged in 1865 as a brevet major. He knew the steps to take to bring the country fully together again. As an initial signal, he selected three Civil War veterans to command the Cuba campaign. Two, William Rufus Shafter, given overall command of the Cuban operation, and H.W. Lawton, who led the Second Infantry Division, the first soldiers to land in the war, had received the Medal of Honor fighting for the Union. The other, “Fighting Joe” Wheeler, the legendary Confederate cavalry general, led the cavalry units in Cuba, after being elected to Congress in 1880 from Alabama and working hard to bring national reconciliation. Four days after the Spanish-American war ended, McKinley proclaimed in Atlanta: “In the spirit of fraternity we should share with you in the care of the graves of Confederate soldiers.” In that call for national unity the Confederate Memorial was born. It was designed by internationally respected sculptor Moses Jacob Ezekiel, a Confederate veteran and the first Jewish graduate of the Virginia Military Institute, who asked to be buried at the memorial in Arlington National Cemetery. But now in this new world of woke, unless measures are taken very soon, by the end of this year the Confederate Memorial will be gone. Say what you will about our vanished ancestors, but they managed to knit back together a nation that had been literally at swords’ points. Our betters today seem more interested in fomenting hate and division. And possibly another civil war. https://www.wsj.com/articles/save-the-confederate-memorial-at-arlington-art-history-preservation-civil-war-64464979?st=r7jar5pkajjh4jv&reflink=article_copyURL_share . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
