Re: Should the Confederate carving on Stone Mountain be removed?
So I take it that some disagree with what the Germans did?
Libraries were stripped of Nazi books and periodicals, fascist newspapers shuttered, and all physical vestiges of the old regime removed and destroyed. In 1949, the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) criminalized the display of swastikas; the symbol was also scraped and sometimes blown off of buildings. The federal state systematically destroyed statues and monuments, razed many Nazi architectural structures and buried executed military and civilian officials in mass, unmarked graves so that their resting grounds would not become Nazi shrines.

No doubt the Germans have all but forgotten WWII and the Nazis and failed to learn a lesson seeing that they destroyed all the statues and 'eliminated history'.

Re: Should the Confederate carving on Stone Mountain be removed?
I was speaking OF the Nazi regime as they burned those books they found out of context with their decree.
So you DO approve of cleansing destructive removal of what YOU consider objectionable?
If you do you fit the bill as same level of ridiculous as ISIS.
Cleansing is just as it decries, removal of those objectionable articles you cannot agree to leave alone while trying to develop a wider unrealistic Utopian ideology of how it should be.

Re: Should the Confederate carving on Stone Mountain be removed?
OK. I give up. I don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about, Cooter. When the subject is Confederate monuments, you talk about ISIS. What does ISIS have to do with Confederate monuments? No, don't answer that. I'm not up to trying to untangle any answer you would give.

Re: Should the Confederate carving on Stone Mountain be removed?
No I speak of John and those that decided that cleansing the US of Confederate statue would relieve that pain by the cleansing action of the removals. Same as removing other statues, historic records, monuments and ruins of civilization by ISIS has done. A cleansing is still a cleansing regardless the basis is performed including book burnings to remove any inferences to something a group considers objectionable.

Re: Should the Confederate carving on Stone Mountain be removed?
So what you're saying is that if a pro-Nazi Germany group in America had managed to get a city to allow them to erect a statue of Hitler on public property, it would be inappropriate to remove that statue even today.
It would be cleansing "... to remove any inferences to something a group considers objectionable.'
We would be stuck with a monument to Hitler, no matter how much people hated it.

No but by your accounts all the pain and suffering of those ALREADY DEAD will be sated by removing the Statuary of Confederate Origin, if anything it has only rekindled a bonfire you have no concept how to quench.

I guess my history is sorely lacking, I've never heard of the Statuary of Confederate Origin and I think all the pain and suffering of those dead, are dead, no longer in pain and suffering, they don't care, dead is dead.
