Japan has a similar problem to the South. They both white wash their history. Japan makes a lot of faux pas about war monuments and honoring Imperial soldiers from WWII. The problem - they were both treated with kid gloves after defeat. Despite all the bitching about Reconstruction it was one of the most magnanimous occupations in history. By the 1870's former CAS officers and legislators were in the U.S. and state governments. Something similar to denazification in postwar Germany should have happened.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572739179315002435.post-85280314833185975402015-06-23T20:04:44.794-04:002015-06-23T20:04:44.794-04:00Also their beloved CSA was no bastion of state...Also their beloved CSA was no bastion of state's rights or individual rights regardless of race. The Confederate executive was all-powerful. It requisitioned lots of property, ignored state's wishes concerning their militias, suspended habeas corpus and instituted martial law. The confederate supreme court was never seated meaning appeais went nowhere. The CSA also started conscription well before the Union and had a domestic passport system. Yep clearly Lincoln was a tyrant and Jeff Davis the heir to Washington. It wasn't about slavery. All state's rights.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572739179315002435.post-11462099792622758762015-06-23T19:42:41.732-04:002015-06-23T19:42:41.732-04:00Why doesn't Japan still fly the rising sun?

Because when a country loses a war, they don't get to continue to fly their battle flag as a recognised symbol. The south lost. The flag is a symbol of the loss.

If the confederacy wa so interested in being Americans and not the enemy of America why did they have their own constitution? Why did they not keep the American Constitution as their own. The goal was to be separate from the US. So it really has no business being on the State House grounds. <br /><br />Conservatives are being bull headed fools to even be getting themselves in this battle. Haley was smart to do what she did. Conservatives always talk about withdrawing from the Republican party but I think it's the Republicans that need to totally denounce them and come up with a new platform. Stick to Fiscal issues.PatRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572739179315002435.post-31493323619685142362015-06-23T17:32:19.940-04:002015-06-23T17:32:19.940-04:00I live in Oklahoma so I've had to put up with...I live in Oklahoma so I've had to put up with the "Heritage not hate" crap my whole life.

Many of these people are plenty old enough to have voted for white supremacist Democrats before the southern strategy really got going. Heck, there were prominent southern democrats who didn't switch until the 1990s.

Rev., surrounded by his eight companions, with the Confederate Battle flag in his loving hands, and an inscription on the base saying, “I forgive you.”<br /><br />But this isn’t really about honor and healing, it’s about scapegoating and effeminate anger - qualities the gunman had in spades.<br /><br /><br />15 posted on Sun Jun 21 2015 07:58:20 GMT-0500 (CDT) by cmj328 (We live here.)<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
