The Poojer Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 I lived in Richmond for 25 years and Monument Ave was one of the most beautiful avenue's i'd ever seen. I'm not a native southerner so to me they were statues that were part of the history of the south. I personally never glorified it. I understand that a lot of people feel very strongly on both sides of the confederate issue. I always thought of Monument Ave as an outdoor museum. It's a damn shame because the statues really were aesthetically pleasing to look at as statues. 1 hour ago, billsfan1959 said: Right on the outside review. It should always happen. As for the issue of confederate statues, I am somewhat conflicted. I am not a big fan of erasing history and I feel it is a slippery slope. I also recognize that we don't want to glorify something as horrific as slavery. I think distinctions can be made. There are statues and monuments that were erected specifically to endorse white supremacy and the inferiority of the black race. I have no problem doing away with those because of the intent behind their construction. I am not a fan of eradicating statues/monuments/etc. of people that were created to honor their contributions to this country, simply because they also held a belief we might find reprehensible today, but was not that uncommon in their time. Lots of honest dialogue on that issue. 2 2

If we're to erase anyone who had anything to do with slavery then we'll lose George Washington, Jefferson etc. I was thinking about what slavery has probably built - the pyramids, the Great Wall of China, The Roman Coliseum etc. To be consistent is there any discussion of tearing these down? 4

Any funds used for replacement will have to be diverted from other internal LE budgetary priorities.

And Donald Trump styles himself after Andrew Jackson, right? Holy cow C3, this is a check-mate point. The President should open the doors and the DC mayor was spot on and not at all playing her supporters for chumps. Don't sleep on the convertible idea either. Some presidents respected JFK and you may not know it, but he loved driving around with his top down.

Doc Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 5 hours ago, Tiberius said: James N. Miller, a former undersecretary of defense for policy, announced his resignation from the Science Defense Board in the pages of The Post and upbraided Esper: As a concerned citizen, and as a former senior defense official who cares deeply about the military, I urge you to consider closely both your future actions and your future words. For example, some could interpret literally your suggestion to the nation’s governors Monday that they need to “dominate the battlespace.” I cannot believe that you see the United States as a “battlespace,” or that you believe our citizens must be “dominated.” Such language sends an extremely dangerous signal. Again? What is this, Steinbrenner and Martin? 1

Yeah I'll say it was effective....effective at pissing off a ton of Christian folks who see through this blatant attempt to pander to evangelicals with this phoney display of piety...Please. In all fairness, most genuine Christians have never considered Trump to be a Christian. He certainly doesn't behave in a Christ-like manner, and it didn't help when he said his favorite book in the Bible was "Two Corinthians." Do you remember Bill Clinton solemnly walking the beaches of Normandy, suddenly finding a small pile of stones, and arranging them in the shape of the cross while cameras were rolling? I'm surprise the rocks didn't bust into flames. Presidents do this stupid schitt. They just do. No one is going to remember this in two weeks except probably Jennifer Rubin and Jim Acosta. 5 2
