Civil War Confederate Monuments: Symbols of Hate and Racism or Easy Targets for Leftist Rage and Destruction?
Mathew 15: 17-20 (NIV)
[Jesus asked them.] ‘Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder [abortion], adultery, sexual immorality [homosexual behavior], theft, false testimony, slander. These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”
Update: President Trump pardons former Maricopa County (Arizona) Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
This was an appropriate and needed pardon. The Obama Administration Department of Injustice went after him for only one reason: The Obama Administration did not approve of his politics and political actions. As it was, the only charge they could convict him of was a misdemeanor “contempt of court” ruling. Given the Leftist radical judges in the federal courts, most Americans should have contempt for them. They don’t even pretend to use the Constitution as the basis for their decisions anymore. CONGRESS needs to start holding federal court judges accountable as prescribed in the Constitution.

Everyone of these Republicans In Name Only should be primaried and defeated by an actual constitutional conservative who has not capitulated to the radical homosexual lobby in this nation. These 24 RINOs by voting to affirm the delusional fantasies of transsexuals are helping to destroy the military and are, in my opinion, putting both delusional transsexuals and all other military personnel in danger on the battle field during combat.

“The Illinois State House was back in session this afternoon to override Governor Bruce Rauner’s veto of a 32 percent permanent tax hike on Illinois families (SB 9). This tax grab also raises the corporate income tax rate by 33 percent. As anticipated, the House voted to override the veto this afternoon by a vote of 71-42 [71 being the minimum number of votes to override.]—with 61 Democrats and 10 Republicans voting in favor of increasing our taxes [By raising the tax rate by 32%. Plus, no doubt, increasing the cost of goods and/or increasing unemployment by raising corporate income tax rates by 33 1/3rd percent.].

Seven months after the 44th year of the illegal, unconstitutional Roe vs. Wade decision, approximately 580,822 babies within the womb have been murdered because of federal government sanctioned evil based upon one million murders of babies within the womb per year. And the murders continue day after day. What has Congress done to stop the unconstitutional murder of our own children? Absolutely NOTHING. Congress can not even defund Planned Murderhood.

Petition: http://nationalprolifealliance.com/lacAM_petition.aspx?pid=0219&npla=EH17
Abolishing the murder of babies within the womb by Congressional law will actually be faster and more effective than waiting on the court. Right now there are five justices on the court who support the murder of babies within the womb. The four radical Leftist justices appointed by Democrat Presidents and Justice Kennedy. Therefore, to even have a chance of the court reversing, we need one more Constitutional Justice and the one appointed has to replace one of the five pro-murdering babies within the womb justices. Even then, it would take a couple of years, at least, to get the case through the court system.
Passing a law of Congress is the best way of ending the terror of our American holocaust. The best way to abolish the murder of babies within the womb. The best way to stop any State from passing a law allowing the murder of babies within the womb. And it is also best constitutionally.
Life for all persons within the United States including babies within the womb is guaranteed and protected by the Declaration of Independence, Amendment V of the United States Constitution, and Amendment XIV of the United States Constitution. No court, no government body, no individual can constitutionally sanction the murder of babies within the womb. All such decisions, laws, and regulations are patently unconstitutional and illegal and should be immediately abolished by Congress by law!
Statistically, everyday of delay over 2,700 babies are murdered in the womb through abortion using 1 million abortions a year as a baseline. It is past time to attack the evil of murdering babies within the womb on every front with every legal weapon we can use until the murder of babies within the womb is abolished completely throughout the United States and its territories. Murder of babies within the womb is a horrendous evil that needs to and must be terminated.

Isaiah 1: 1-31 (NIV)
The vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem [Applicable to the United States today, in my opinion. GOD is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. HE is righteous, just, and true yesterday, today, and tomorrow!] that Isaiah son of Amoz saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Hear me, you heavens! Listen, earth! For the Lord has spoken: ‘I reared children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me [The United States has and is rebelling against GOD!]. The ox knows its master, the donkey its owner’s manger, but Israel [the United States] does not know, my people [the United States] do not understand.’
Woe to the sinful nation [the United States], a people whose guilt is great, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the Lord [the United States]; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel [the United States] and turned their backs on him [the United States] .
Why should you be beaten anymore? Why do you persist in rebellion? Your whole head is injured, your whole heart afflicted. From the sole of your foot to the top of your head there is no soundness—only wounds and welts and open sores, not cleansed or bandaged or soothed with olive oil.
Your country is desolate, your cities burned with fire; your fields are being stripped by foreigners right before you, laid waste as when overthrown by strangers. Daughter Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a cucumber field, like a city under siege. Unless the Lord Almighty had left us some survivors, we would have become like Sodom [destroyed by GOD because of homosexual sin!], we would have been like Gomorrah [destroyed by GOD because of homosexual sin!].
[Read Genesis 18 and 19 for the Biblical account. Genesis 19: 23-29 (NIV)]
“By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens. Thus he [GOD] overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities [A righteous act by a righteous GOD WHO destroyed evil people who refused to repent from their evil. And yes, I believe the account and so did JESUS the SON of GOD. HE referenced Sodom and/or Gomorrah several times. Matthew 10: 15 (NIV) “Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.”]—and also the vegetation in the land. But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the Lord. He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace.
So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he [GOD] brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.”
This is also why homosexual radicals attack Christians who speak out against homosexual behavior. Christians who know the Bible know that homosexual behavior is sin punishable by spiritual death. There is NO “right” to homosexual behavior and people are NOT born homosexual. Homosexual behavior is learned behavior. Therefore, people do not have to be involved in the behavior and people can repent and STOP being involved in the behavior!]
Hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom [the United States]; listen to the instruction of our God, you people of Gomorrah [the United States]! ‘The multitude of your sacrifices—what are they to me?’ says the Lord. ‘I have more than enough of burnt offerings, of rams and the fat of fattened animals; I have no pleasure in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats. When you come to appear before me, who has asked this of you, this trampling of my courts? Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations—I cannot bear your worthless assemblies. Your New Moon feasts and your appointed festivals I hate with all my being. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. When you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you [the present or the future for the United States?]; even when you offer many prayers, I am not listening [the present or the future for the United States?].
Your hands are full of blood [the present for the United States as we as a nation MURDER over a million babies a year through government sanctioned abortions!]!
Wash and make yourselves clean [Will we?]. Take your evil deeds out of my sight [Will we?]; stop doing wrong [Will we?]. Learn to do right [Will we?]; seek justice [Will we?]. Defend the oppressed [Will we? Who are more oppressed than murdered babies?]. Take up the cause of the fatherless [Will we? GOD’S family structure not man’s]; plead the case of the widow [Will we? GOD’S family structure not man’s].’
‘Come now, let us settle the matter,’ says the Lord. ‘Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. If you are willing and obedient [Stop rebelling], you will eat the good things of the land; but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.’ For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
See how the faithful city has become a prostitute! She once was full of justice; righteousness used to dwell in her—but now murderers! Your silver has become dross, your choice wine is diluted with water. Your rulers are rebels, partners with thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts. They do not defend the cause of the fatherless; the widow’s case does not come before them.
Therefore the Lord, the Lord Almighty, the Mighty One of Israel, declares: ‘Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes and avenge myself on my enemies. I will turn my hand against you; I will thoroughly purge away your dross and remove all your impurities. I will restore your leaders as in days of old, your rulers as at the beginning. Afterward you will be called the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City.’
Zion will be delivered with justice, her penitent ones with righteousness. But rebels and sinners will both be broken, and those who forsake the Lord will perish. ‘You will be ashamed because of the sacred oaks in which you have delighted; you will be disgraced because of the gardens that you have chosen. You will be like an oak with fading leaves, like a garden without water. The mighty man will become tinder and his work a spark; both will burn together, with no one to quench the fire.’”

“Three more Planned Parenthood [Planned Murderhood] abortion [murder of babies within the womb] facilities will close this summer in California, bringing the national total up to 16.
The abortion [murder of babies within the womb] chain has announced quite a few facility closings across the country already this year, including four in Iowa, two in Pennsylvania, one in Maryland, three in New Mexico, one in Wyoming and two in Colorado.
This week, Californians for Life confirmed that the Planned Parenthood [Planned Murderhood] abortion [murder of babies within the womb] clinics in Vacaville, Pittsburg and central Richmond are slated to close on June 30.

The Senate has postponed the vote on “Trumpcare,” “Mitchcare,” “RINOcare,” “Ryancare,” “Obamacare-lite,” whatever one wants to name the abysmal lie of the Republicans repealing Obamacare until after the July 4th holiday recess.

“Republicans talk a big game on the campaign trail, but the last few months have made it clear that they have no intention of delivering on their promises.
The federal foray into healthcare has been a disaster. But rather than learning from their mistakes and moving on, the GOP is doubling-down on the federal takeover of America’s health decisions [Decisions that are OUR decisions NOT the federal government’s. Decisions that are OUR decisions NOT the federal government’s. Decisions that are OUR decisions NOT the federal government’s. Tyranny from Republicans is just as bad, if not worse, than tyranny from the Left.].”

The purpose of the Target boycott is to help Target change its current policy of allowing men into the facilities of women and allowing women into the facilities of men by hurting its bottom line. A classic “follow the money” approach. Is it working? Your decision:

In the wake of the ongoing controversy [A created controversy. Created by the Left.] over Confederate monuments, many who would like to see them removed immediately have pointed to one chart that shows when the statues were put up, presumably to prove they are inherently hateful.
A widely cited study, #HYPERLINK https://www.splcenter.org/20160421/whose-heritage-public-symbols-confederacy created by the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center, claims that most of the Confederate statues were constructed specifically in the period under ‘Jim Crow’ laws that targeted black Americans, or in opposition to civil rights [The point being? Is this guilt by association? Another common technique of the Left. At the time of “Jim Crow” laws, the Democrats controlled the South. Now that the South is controlled by Republicans, all monuments put up by Democrats are now racist? Strange how that works.].
The fact that they were erected during these two time periods supposedly proves the case that they were meant to intimidate or to ‘remind’ Southern blacks of continuing white supremacy [Ask the Democrats who put them up. Wait. They are all dead now. Suddenly, it is an issue? Why is that?].
The Southern Poverty Law Center [SPLC] then further implies that defending these statues amounts to buoying hate groups [Total nonsense from a propaganda oriented organization. Who listens to them? The Left and the media that repeats their lies.], like the one that caused a riot in Charlottesville. The far-left group then one-upped itself by warning that the continued existence of Confederate monuments and symbols could ‘unleash more turmoil and bloodshed [From the Left because that is what they do.].’
(Americans need an alternative to the mainstream media. But this can’t be done alone. Find out more >> )
This is an astoundingly paranoid claim given how few people even noticed or cared about the existence of the statues until about a month ago [Until trouble was deliberately created.].
Moreover, by making unverified claims about the reasons the statues were built, the Southern Poverty Law Center [SPLC] simplifies the meaning of thousands of monuments that were actually built for a variety of reasons, simply to impugn the motives of a majority of Americans who don’t want to see them removed [That is the role of the SPLC. To ferment conflict.].
According to a Marist poll, a large majority of Americans (62 percent) favor keeping the Confederate statues, while only 27 percent said they want to take them down [And therefore, the minority rules because the Left always knows best. Right?]. Even a plurality of black Americans also believe the statues should stay.
It would likely shock the 44 percent of black Americans who support keeping the statues to learn that they are supporting white supremacy [Only according to the Left.].
The Southern Poverty Law Center [SPLC] has been careless [Much more than careless. It is one of the prominent propaganda arms of the Left. The truth is irrelevant to this organization as it is to the Left, in general. If it is concerned with racism as claimed, it would condemn every abortion [murder of babies within the womb] organization in the nation which murders more Blacks each year than any other single cause of death for Blacks. Talk about racist.] in the past about the way it labels ‘hate groups [“Hate” groups are NOT and should NOT be against the law. The purpose of freedom of speech is to protect speech that is unacceptable to the majority. It is not for protecting speech that is acceptable. There is no need to protect acceptable speech. By the way, freedom of speech does not protect all speech. It protects political speech. The federal courts have misused and misapplied the doctrine of freedom of speech expanding it far beyond its original meaning and purpose.],’ lumping in mainstream conservative organizations with neo-Nazis, which at least in one case has led to actual violence.
The broad brush with which it treats these statues is yet another example of how it muddles reasonable differences of opinion. While some monuments were undoubtedly built for sordid and ugly reasons [So what and who is to determine that?], many others were not, or leave a more complicated legacy than the Southern Poverty Law Center [SPLC] wants to portray [The SPLC is about disruption not about unity.].
In Misguided Response to Charlottesville, Apple Donates to Liberal Group That Endangers Conservatives
Rebuilding Civilization
The Confederacy died when General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse.
Nevertheless, the story of the Americans who fought on both sides of that conflict did not begin or end in the horrible four years of war that nearly destroyed our nation and killed 1 in 4 fighting-age men in the country.
When the Civil War broke out in 1861, the global consensus was that America was finished. Even after the Union triumph in 1865, there were extreme doubts that the country could reunite.
It’s a miracle that it did.
In the years immediately after the war, the period when the Southern Poverty Law Center [SPLC] seems to suggest erecting monuments made the most ‘sense,’ most Americans had bigger priorities than statue building.
But as time went by, many in both the North and the South wanted to pay tribute to the generation that went through perhaps the most defining moment in our nation’s history [Until 1973 and the sanctioning of the murder of babies within the womb.].
Much of the bitterness toward old foes began to dissipate, and many tried to rebuild an American consensus.
The anger that existed between the North and South cooled, and the wisdom of President Abraham Lincoln’s famous second inaugural address—‘with malice toward none and charity for all’—began to take hold in earnest as decades passed [Except for Democrats in the south toward Blacks.].
As the country began to truly heal from the scars of the Civil War, the monuments and memorials it built varied, and in spite of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s insinuations, were not all created as symbols of white supremacy or to glorify the cause of the Confederacy.
For instance, Charles Francis Adams Jr., a direct descendent of Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams, was born in Massachusetts and fought for the Union Army.
Adams was an anti-slavery man who had put his life on the line to destroy the Confederacy, but in a powerful speech delivered at Harvard University in 1903, he argued that it would be reasonable and positive to build a statue of Lee in the nation’s capital.
He noted that Lee was not the one-dimensional bogeyman that he and many in the North thought of when they fought his Army of Northern Virginia.
Though the war had, thankfully, banished the twin evils of slavery and secession, Adams argued that it was important to remember that good men often fought for bad causes, and to give dignity even to the defeated.
Ultimately, in the end, Lee and the boys who fought in grey ‘were our countrymen.’ Adams argued that depicting Lee atop his steed in Confederate uniform would be educational, and show a once ‘dreaded and respected’ opponent accepting the consequences of defeat.
[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_E._Lee
“A son of Revolutionary War officer Henry ‘Light Horse Harry’ Lee III, [Robert E.] Lee was a top graduate of the United States Military Academy [West Point] and an exceptional officer and military engineer in the United States Army for 32 years. During this time, he served throughout the United States, distinguished himself during the Mexican–American War [1846-1848], and served as Superintendent of the United States Military Academy.
When Virginia declared its secession from the Union in April 1861, Lee chose to follow his home state [Most of the South were not “slave owners.” Many fought in the Civil War to preserve “States rights” rather than to preserve slavery. It is simplistic to label the entire South racist. Slavery was authorized by State law just as the current murder of babies within the womb is sanctioned by federal government court rulings. Both are evil. I would argue that murdering one’s own child within the womb is more evil than slavery. Certainly, more Blacks babies have been murdered within the womb than were ever murdered because of slavery. “Slave owners” had an economic interest to treat their “slave property” well. By the way, it was the U.S. Supreme Court which ruled that slaves were not persons but property in the 1857 infamous Dred Scott Decision. Furthermore, the U.S. Constitution itself referenced slaves as persons. Article I Section 2 ¶ 3: “Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years [Indentured Servants], and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons [slaves].”], despite his desire for the country to remain intact and an offer of a senior Union command. During the first year of the Civil War, Lee served as a senior military adviser to Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Once he took command of the main field army in 1862 he soon emerged as a shrewd tactician and battlefield commander, winning most of his battles, all against far superior Union armies.”]
Rather than a glorification of the Confederacy, some monuments are rightly understood as tributes to the greatness and endurance of the United States, [The real reason why the Left wants them destroyed? The Left has a long history both in this country and worldwide of destroying and distorting the history of nations.] which had come through a bloody trial still capable of reuniting Americans on the same side once more.
A statue to Confederate General Joe Wheeler stands in the Capitol Building and was recently targeted by former Speaker Nancy Pelosi as one of the monuments that needs to go [Who is she to decide anything about monuments put up by others? She is a major supporter of Planned Murderhood. Planned Murderhood’s founder, Margaret Sanger, was a known racist and “white supremacist.” Will Nancy Pelosi support the removal of all monuments to Margaret Sanger? Of course not.].
But, like many of the targeted monuments’ subjects, Wheeler’s legacy is complicated. After the Civil War, he rejoined the United States military and fought for our country with distinction in the Spanish-American War [1898]. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
Shall Americans destroy a statue to a man buried in our most hallowed ground [Why sure. Because the Left says so.]?
Why Cities Shouldn’t Take Down Confederate Statues
The Atlanta monument attacked by protestors in the days after the Charlottesville incident is yet another good example of how extremism and dehumanization of history leads to misdirected rage and destruction [The Left is all about rage, destruction, and intimidation.].
The monument, constructed in 1911, depicts a Confederate soldier being guided by an angel to lay down his arms in a sign of peace and unity [The Left does not want peace and unity. Peace and unity would never lead to their agenda being fulfilled.], not glorification of the Confederate cause. The construction had been spearheaded by former Southern soldiers who had toured the North and wanted to create a symbol of healing.
It was among the many monuments built during the supposedly racist spike that the Southern Poverty Law Center pinpointed [The SPLC is not about accuracy. It is about propaganda. It is a propaganda arm of the Left.], which, by the way, also coincides with the 50th anniversary of the war. Americans wanted to pay tribute to their parents and grandparents in much the same way modern generations do for the World War II generation that is now passing on.
Is this a symbol that deserves destruction [Do any of the monuments deserve destruction? The people who put them up did not believe they did.]?
Adams and many others who erected or supported the statues across the battlefields and once war-ravaged cities that dot the South hoped they would stand for more unity, not less.
They knew the price of fraternal feud more than we, hopefully, ever will. But still, they chose forgiveness.
Once Confederate, Now American
The legacy of many Civil War monuments, both Northern and Southern, extends far beyond the four years of the Civil War.
Unionist regions, which recovered faster from the war, began building monuments within several decades. The massive statues to Union generals that rise over the streets and squares of New York City and Washington, D.C., are the legacy of this movement.
The South rode the coattails of Northern industrial monument construction, relying on its new and cheaper mass-production techniques to construct the monuments themselves at a more affordable expense to small groups and towns. This explains the curious fact that statues to soldiers in the North and South often look identical.
Southerners were buying statues mass-produced in Northern factories—an almost comical symbol of how the regions were rebuilding a national consensus.
It’s clear from the opinion of most Americans that our society still sees value in keeping Confederate monuments [Of course. For better or for worse, the Civil War is a part of our history. Why whitewash it?]. Whether honoring fallen ancestors, seeing the humanity in foes, or in remembering the evils of slavery, they can serve many purposes to our generation, and future ones who will undoubtedly interpret the statues in different ways than we will.
A few heinous extremists don’t deserve to define the debate for the rest of the country [It happens because it is allowed to happen. Cities do not enforce their own laws. These decisions should be decided by legislative bodies, not by mobs.], and the Southern Poverty Law Center does a disservice [That is the purpose of the SPLC. Propaganda.] to paint Americans—of many generations—with such sweeping and one-dimensional strokes.”
A minority deciding what they want while engaging in criminal actions to accomplish it, if not supported by the local authorities. The trademark of the Left.
To accomplish the conservative agenda, we need more conservatives in Congress. One such conservative is Judge Roy Moore. ELECT conservatives in the primaries. ELECT conservatives in the general election.
The runoff election is Tuesday September 26, 2017.

“QUOTE OF THE WEEK // Hans Fiene on anti-Christian Twitter mobs: ‘Twitter: We hate Joel Osteen for not following the Bible. Also Twitter: We hate the Nashville Statement for following the Bible.’”
Supposedly, Joel Osteen said his church would not be available during the current Houston flooding challenge. The Nashville Statement confirms the long standing Christian acknowledgment that homosexual behavior is sinful behavior.
The Left hates anyone and anything that disagrees with them and their agenda.

“At the Orgy of Self-Righteousness
George Neumayr | August 18, 2017”
“One wonders what entitles this generation to speak so confidently about past evils given its inability to recognize present ones. Modern America is awash in the blood of millions of aborted [murdered] children—a monstrous evil we’re told is as central to the modern lifestyle as slavery was to the ancient one [Make no mistake about it. Murdering one’s own children is far more evil than slavery. And yes, slavery is evil.]”
The best, most constitutional way to accomplish abolishing abortion is to do the following:
1) Congress by law affirms that human life begins at conception/fertilization.
http://nationalprolifealliance.com/rlacaa_petition.aspx?npla=EH17&pid=0820c
2) Congress by law affirms that human life is protected by both Amendments Five and Fourteen from the beginning of life at conception to the end of life through natural causes.
3) Congress by law affirms that the taking of a human life within the womb is a criminal offense and establishes the legal parameters for prosecuting and punishing all such criminal offenses. Congress by law affirms that any local official and/or State official who tries to hinder and/or does not apply these laws properly has committed a criminal offense. Congress by law establishes the legal parameters for prosecuting and punishing all such criminal offenses.
4) Congress by law affirms that any and all previous court case rulings in contradiction to these specific laws passed by Congress are null and void.
5) Congress by law removes the courts from any ability to alter and/or invalidate any provisions of these specific laws passed by Congress.
Rules of Life:
1) Actions have consequences and may have a lasting impact on the rest of your life.
2) There is no reset, undo, or edit button in life.
3) You are the ONLY person responsible for your actions.
4) You are free to choose whatever action you want to take, but you are NOT free from the consequences of that action.
5) Doing nothing is an action.
Or, as GOD said in James 4: 17 (NIV)
“If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.”
Matthew 12: 35-37 (NIV)
“‘A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned [We are all held accountable by GOD.].’”
