I have been busy and am not sure when I will have time to respond to Deez and others, but this made me laugh and I had to give a partial response while I had some time. I will move on when other people move on from removing history. I was not advocating for any new monuments or anything, I am reacting to people who could not move on from memorials that have existed for decades. The history removers started it by not leaving history alone, not the pro flag people.
Hell, I did not sidetrack this thread. I moved on from an argument Deez and I had months ago. Deez could not move on and derailed the thread. I thought he was going to have some reason why, but I can only conclude that he randomly wanted to discuss it. I guess because we usually agree on everything, but vehemently disagree on this, and it is fun to argue with people who can argue well back (though deez had some weak ones I will have to poke holes in later).
When every American moves on from being angry about what Trump said or tweeted, I will move on. When every American moves on from being upset that Obama was elected president, I will move on. When republicans move on from Benghazi, I will move on. When democrats move on from W and the Iraq War, I will move on. When every American moves on from whatever the republicans did that made them angry, I will move on. When every American moves on from whatever the democrats did that made them angry, I will move on. When every American moves on from whatever their local politician did to make them angry, I will move on. When white americans that feel they were hurt by affirmative action move on, I will move on. When black americans move on from slavery and segregation, I will move on. When jewish americans move on from the holocaust, I will move on. When American Indians move on from the wrongs inflicted on them, I will move on. When people leave Andy Jackson alone and move on from him, I will move on. When Trump supporters move on from trying to create "liberal tears" and want to discuss real and actually useful policy, I will move on. When every American moves on from having monuments for their dead or veterans from any war, I will move on. When every american moves on from anything bad that happened to their family historically or anything a politican did they disagree with, whether it was or they were right, wrong, good or bad, I will move on as well.
Until then, I exercise my right as an American, whether, I am right or wrong, to peacefully politically oppose, vote against, speak out against and not give money to (cough UT cough) those politicians and leaders who have unnecessarily, without logical justification (Roof, who did not mention the flag and did not have any support for anything related to the CSA or confederate heritage in his lengthy, idiotic Trayvon Martin/alt right nonsense manifesto, was not a logical justification), without public mandate (Haley did not run on a campaign to remove the flag and the majority south carolina officials, including her, have been elected on leaving it alone for 20 years) and treacherously (Jenny Horne misrepresenting being descended from Jeff Davis) made policy decisions attacking my heritage.
