Confederates lost. Don't celebrate traitors, slavers and
losers.



Americans should renounce Confederate leaders the same way
Germans renounce Hitler

Ever wonder why there are no statues of Adolf Hitler in Berlin?

It's a question that President Trump should consider when
declaring that monuments to Confederate leaders are part of our
nation's great "history and culture." Hitler was part of German
history and culture, too. But to this day, Germany rejects him
as a traitor to his people.

Every American should feel the same way about the leaders of
the Confederacy as Germans feel towards Hitler. The Confederacy
was an act of treason against the United States of America, its
Constitution and one of its greatest Presidents. But alas,
there are still close to 700 Confederate monuments strewn
across the South. And President Trump � who, ironically, often
says he's the best President since Lincoln � wants to maintain
them.

But the President is drawing the wrong history lesson from
these statues and memorials. Monuments are never about history
itself. They merely represent what the people putting up the
monument think about history at the moment that the monument is
being installed. That's why there were once so many statues of
Lenin in the Soviet Union, yet so few now. Every generation
gets to write history the way it wants. And every next
generation gets to rewrite it.

So it's no surprise that most of these monuments to our
so-called national culture were installed in two major periods
of Southern racist backlash: the era of Jim Crow segregation in
the 1910s and 1920s and the Civil Rights era in the 1950s and
1960s (historian Kenneth Kruse's chart makes this point very
clearly).

These monuments were put up by a succeeding generation to
recast the earlier event, in this case that Confederate
secession was not a traitorous act against the United States of
America, but a noble effort to defend the honor of the South �
with whites playing the starring roles.

Perhaps President Trump should recall the lesson of Benedict
Arnold. Just like Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Jefferson
Davis and everyone who swore allegiance to the Confederacy,
Arnold was a traitor to his country. He won many great battles
early in the Revolutionary War, but because he betrayed his
nation, there are no monument to him anywhere in this country.
In fact, a monument to the Revolution in Saratoga has places
for statues in each of its four corners, but only three statues
are there: Horatio Gates, General Philip Schuyler and Colonel
Daniel Morgan. The place where Arnold's statue should be, given
his heroism at Saratoga, is empty.

Nearby is a statue of a boot. Arnold famously injured his foot
in the battle, yet fought on bravely. The plaque on the boot
monument reads, "In memory of the most brilliant soldier of the
Continental army, who was desperately wounded on this spot,
winning for his countrymen the decisive battle of the American
Revolution, and for himself the rank of Major General."

Arnold's name is not on the monument � a statement by the later
generation that his traitorous acts left him unworthy of
respect (tellingly, there's a monument to Arnold in England,
the nation he aided in deceit).

The Jim Crow and anti-Civil Rights Southerners who put up
monuments to their heroes saw treason differently than the
Americans who put up the Saratoga monument. The Southern goal
was two-fold: a) to intimidate blacks and b) to ensure that
their leaders would be celebrated as part of our culture. Now
the President is serving both agendas with his horrific
tweeting on Thursday.

These statues are not part of our culture. They are part of a
racist effort to turn a segregationist, traitorous movement
into a part of our culture.

That effort must fail � and would fail if the President would
find the moral integrity to just get out of the way and let
today's generation recast history for itself.

Disney CEO Bob Iger: 'Hitler would have loved social media'

Yahoo News

"Good propaganda does not need to lie, indeed it may not lie. It has no
reason to fear the truth. It is a mistake to believe that people cannot take the truth. They can. It is only a matter of presenting the truth to people
in a way that they will be able to understand. A propaganda that lies proves that it has a bad cause. It cannot be successful in the long run."

- Joseph Goebbels

How Many Germans Secretly Admire Hitler?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUZi67BmY_M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkGQcw52KQQ

The success of a newly released film in which Adolf Hitler is resurrected
and returns to Germany reveals a sobering reality.

BY BRAD MACDONALD
OCTOBER 29, 2015

Imagine if Adolf Hitler were resurrected and plunked down in the center of Berlin or Dusseldorf or a sleepy German village in rural Bavaria. What would the 20th-century despot think of modern Germany? More interestingly, what
would modern Germans think of Hitler?

This is the plotline of Look Who’s Back, a new film recently released in Germany. Look Who’s Back is based on the bestselling novel by Timur Vermes, and is a Borat-style satirical film in which Adolf Hitler comes to life and attempts to start a life in modern Germany. In the film, the resurrected
Hitler travels the country, making observations, stirring up trouble, and,
most interestingly, interviewing ordinary Germans. When Hitler sees Angela Merkel, he describes her as a “clumsy woman with the charisma of a wet noodle.” When he learns that Poland is still in existence, he acts
surprised, remarking, “… and in German territory no less.”

Look Who’s Back has been a massive hit, at least by German standards. In its first two weeks it sold more than 1 million tickets and made more than $10 million. Last weekend, it snatched first spot from Pixar’s Inside Out,
making it the number one recent release in Germany. The movie is already
being prepared for international release.

Although it’s only a movie, more than a few commentators—many of whom are Germans, including the film’s director, David Wnendt—have expressed concern at what this movie has apparently uncovered. Deutsche Welle explained the reception Hitler and his film crew received as they traveled across Germany. “Everywhere they went, they got similar reactions: passersby who cheer
Hitler on as he drives past, stand upright and make the Hitler salute. Many took photos.” The Washington Post interviewed Wnendt: “Most of these people react to the sight of one of the 20th century’s vilest leaders with excitement and amusement. They pose for selfies with the feared Nazi leader
and perform the famous Hitler salute for him” (emphasis added).

The Hitler salute is actually illegal in Germany, but these people didn’t mind—and neither did the authorities, it would seem.

I realize that we’re talking about a movie, and a comedy at that. But isn’t this a little odd and somewhat disconcerting? What should we make of the
fact that most of the people Hitler came into contact with greeted him
warmly and enthusiastically? Does this reveal a worrying complacency with Hitler and his despicable legacy?

Get this. Of the 300 hours of video footage of Hitler conversing with the German public, there were only two incidences of individuals responding negatively to this actor playing Hitler. One occurred in Bayreuth, Bavaria, where a man walked up to Hitler and said: “In the year 2014, if someone
comes to the central square in Bayreuth pretending to be Hitler, and if that
is tolerated by the general public, then I have to say: ‘This is bad for Germany’ … ‘and if it were up to me, I would have you chased off.’”

This man’s point is absolutely legitimate, but what’s incredible is that only one man expressed it!

During his interview with the Post, Wnendt—a German himself—shared how surprised he was by how many ordinary Germans had no qualms about conversing with Hitler, and at the same time expressed xenophobic, racist views about foreigners living in Germany. One woman complained that Germany’s problems were the result of foreigners living in Germany. One man explained that immigrants from Africa had caused Germany’s IQ to drop by 20 percent.
Another complained that foreigners could do whatever they wanted because Germans were too full of guilt about World War ii. “We Germans are not allowed to open our mouths because we still have that stigma,” he said.

These people made these remarks on camera, while in conversation with a man made to look like Adolf Hitler.

Another thing too: This entire movie was filmed in the summer of 2014—long before the current migrant crisis!

One scene in particular caught Wnendt by surprise. The aim of the scene was
to see if Hitler could persuade a group of soccer fans to assault a man (another actor) who was making anti-German remarks. Wnendt recalled how surprised he was by how quickly Hitler was able to incite the young Germans
to violence. If Hitler didn’t step in, Wnendt recalls, they would have
beaten up this man.

“The largely positive reaction to Hitler among Germans may remind some of
the way Mao Zedong is treated in China, or Joseph Stalin in some parts of Russia—as a kitsh curio,” the Post reported. “These extreme opinions are not
coming from the fringes, but from the center,’ Wnendt explained. [They’re] not neo-Nazis, but normal middle-class people.”

Again, isn’t this disconcerting? It seems that Adolf Hitler, one of the cruelest men in history and a man once met with repulsion and disgust, is
today more of a curiosity and amusement. According to Wnendt, ‘If you put
him [Hitler] on a T-shirt, I think people would buy it.” This film, and its terrific success, reveals an alarming complacency—and even an affinity—for Hitler. This film, and the millions who watch it, trivialize the history of Hitler, the murder of 6 million Jews, and the entire history of World War
ii. The history of the Holocaust includes some of the most despicable
behavior ever committed by humans. Shouldn’t that history be untouchable, at least by comedians? Isn’t it a little worrying that there is a healthy appetite for these sorts of films? Shouldn’t we be concerned that in 2015 Germany, Hitler sells?

“It’s hard to say just how many people in Germany openly, or behind closed doors, support the NDP [a far-right party with neo-Nazi views] and how many would tell you over a beer that things under Hitler really weren’t that bad,” Deutsche Welle wrote. “What the film makes clear—albeit in an over-the-top way—is that Nazi criminal Adolf Hitler is actually not quite as omniscient as we Germans tend to believe.”

Hitler is making a comeback right now in another way too. On January 1, Mein Kampf (My Struggle), Hitler’s defining manifesto outlining his radical views—and his ambitions—will enter the public domain. The copyright for Mein
Kampf has been held by the state of Bavaria since the war, but when it
expires December 31, the book will be available to publish and distribute. There has been an ongoing debate in Germany over whether or not Mein Kampf should be allowed to be published. Some, mainly Jews and Jewish
organizations, want the book to be banned. They fear it could open a Pandora’s
box of issues and troubles. But the majority—arguing in the interests of freedom of speech and freedom of the press—believe Mein Kampf ought to be published and made freely available.

So, starting next year, Mein Kampf will be available for purchase in German
and French.

What are we to make of this newfound fascination in Germany with Adolf
Hitler? Should we be concerned that the German people, in general, seem to
view Adolf Hitler with curiosity and amusement and, in many cases,
affection? I discussed this issue earlier this week on the Trumpet Daily
Radio Show. Since Monday, I’ve had three to four e-mails from listeners supporting the suggestion that more Germans than most people realize have a soft spot for Hitler. One man commented: “Make no mistake; the belief that Hitler was a ‘good leader’ is very prevalent in Germany! I was married to a German (in another lifetime). Her parents, middle-class, hard-working
people, held just that view—[that] Hitler was a good leader. He did much
good for the country. That is a view that has never been eradicated from the German thinking.”

You ignore the FACT that slavery was legal under King George and under
the United States FLAG and the Confederacy was defending it's STATES
RIGHTS to decide whether to allow or NOT allow slavery as the
Constitution was designed.

The dispute was NOT evil given the era, slavery was common around the
world.... and while we look back and consider it barbaric we also think barbarism was awful.... so placing your moral code on history is just
simple ignorance. You should look at it as an evolution as Obama told
you he was evolving and now accepted gay marriage.

That doesn't mean that yesterday Obama was evil and barbaric but today
he's a hero.

It appears the whole problem with destroying history and changing out traditions and doing all that by force by criminal acts or by Government
acts are a case of ignorance rather than being woke. It seems to me
that the entire idea of being woke is just another excuse for being
ignorant.

[Piggy back reply]

Are you honestly trying to compare Confederate President Davis
with Hitler?
Please cite where Davis attempted any form of genocide.

You ignore the FACT that slavery was legal under King George and under
the United States FLAG and the Confederacy was defending it's STATES
RIGHTS to decide whether to allow or NOT allow slavery as the

Actually, slavery was a very minor aspect. Lincoln wasn't even
interested in freeing the slaves. He did want to prevent the expansion
of slavery, but that's not the same as wanting to free the slaves.

The dispute was NOT evil given the era, slavery was common around the >world.... and while we look back and consider it barbaric we also think >barbarism was awful.... so placing your moral code on history is just

It is dishonest to judge the culture of the past by the culture
of today.

That doesn't mean that yesterday Obama was evil and barbaric but today
he's a hero.

It is a rather stupid concept.
