But, but it has been said on this very forum that blacks, and especially those who identify as ADOS, can't be racists. It is an impossibility. Are you saying this is not true?

But this doesn't apply to self-identified members of ADOS, correct?

As was linked to approx 40 minutes ago: Taxpayer money wasted, and history forgotten.

Kristi Noem: The Governor Who Stayed the Course https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/06/coronavirus-pandemic-south-dakota-governor-kristi-noem-stayed-the-course/ Quite refreshing to hear that statement come from a modern day politician.

Yes, IMHO it should.

Or use the cheapest and most logical option: Leave the currently built monument in Garfield Park alone.

? So you admit to using 5th grade level name calling with certain individuals on this forum. Got it.

Possibly. But when I contribute money for political purposes it is usually to a specific campaign and not a political party.

So now you are saying monuments are never constructed to celebrate certain moments, individuals, or periods in history? Does this simple marker also mention or list the 1600+ men (or in your words "traitors") who died due to Union neglect and malfeasance?

"Drama Queen"?

My apologies, that was very poorly phrased and spelled. What I should have typed was I do not believe it is a Federal responsibility to control the police forces of States and Municipalities. That is what you get when try to multi-task about four things at once......................

And it is where it should stay since a spot at the former location of Camp Morton is probably no longer financially or geographically feasible.

Hey Chief it was you who started with the personal jabs like 'drama queen'. And sorry that basic use of the English language in words and phrases is so comical to you.

No Irishman, you are the drama queen. Not I. You just can't stand it when individuals have different opinions on matters that you do, and refuse to be brow beaten into shutting up about it. Like I've said before it is rather obvious this comes from a profession when you can lord over younger individuals with virtual impunity. We get it.

Yes, I believe Mr. Trump, and by extension the federal government, should stay out of the state's business. And no I don not believe it is not a Federal responsibility to control the police forces of States and Municipalities.

This is a not a monument celebrating the confederacy, not matter how hard you want to make it one. It memorializes the confederate prisoners of war, "traitors" as you paint them, who died due to Union neglect and malfeasance. So one has assume by your indifference to this fact that you tacitly support such treatment of prisoners of war.

No, I'm saying the location should not be as big a factor as you make it out to be. Should the soldiers and sailor monument in downtown Indianapolis be removed because it's content can be found in a museum or books? I'm asking your the question. Please answer it. I don't believe monuments needs to be placed in the exact spot where the events actually occurred. How many non-confederacy advocating monuments are you willing to have moved or removed to satisfy your "significance standard"?

I'm happy that you have such money to spend. Must be that large Clark County Nevada government teacher's salary.

Again your leftist hangup of 'some random place' chosen by long dead racists is duly noted. Shouldn't the content of what is on the monument be the overarching important factor here? The location argument is just a smoke screen used by Mr. Hogsett to show that he is 'being tough' against monuments celebrating the confederacy even when this monument does nothing of the sort. Riddle me this, Irishman. What if these long dead KKK members had also had a monument moved to 'some random place' that noted the sacrifice of Union solders during the Civil War? Should that monument be torn down because of it's now 'random placement' by long dead racists? Also I didn't know Garfield Park, the oldest park in the city of Indianapolis, is some 'random place'.

Media Outlets Stir Racial Strife and Slander Trump for Urging Governors to Protect People’s Rights https://www.justfactsdaily.com/media-outlets-stir-racial-strife-slander-trump/ I really don't care what Mr. Trump says or doesn't say anymore, but this blatant twisting of facts by the mainstream media in order to support their totally leftist agenda of starting a race war in order to unseat Mr. Trump in November is sickening.

Thank you.

No, I do not. Do you?

Guess I'm just not as smart and "nuanced" as the rest of you.

3rd party what exactly? Dante is trying to say your vote, my vote, and his vote don't really matter under the current Electoral College system, unless you are a member of the Electoral College.
