Why, it is that trump WON the election and hillary lost, so get over it and accept that trump is president.

That is a true enough statement, so why do the rightwingers, rebels, southerners and their supporters, and confederates fail to accept that the south LOST the civil war, repeat they LOST, and losers did not get to set the agenda.

What is it that those aforementioned are so fond of saying?

Oh yeah, they are BUTT-HURT big time, and still need some salve or ointment for the pain

I have been around for 73 years and this is the first time I ever heard or saw this statement.

Just read the posts of the usual haters and trouble makers. It is a common theme with them

It has appeared multiple times here on OPP ever since I joined. Maybe you just didn't catch all the posts I did. And, NO, it is NOT a statement I would ever post.

Okay I'll agree that Donald Trump won the election. But I don't quite get the parallel you're trying to make with the removal of Confederate statues and paraphernalia because it's offensive. Should we now clear all references to Hillary Clinton from the historical record because so many are offended by her? I don't understand your point.

What is it that so many Rightwing Poster's Residing here on OPP Like To Say So Often?

DJRICH: When I served my Country during The Vietnam War, I wasn't fighting for The Confederacy, I was fighting for The USA!!! I was
born in The "Deep South", during Segregation, & Harsh, Law & Order; Most "LEO'S", were respected, & Feared. I remember, Felonious Crime, was virtually Non-Exsistent, & most people didn't even lock their door's. Most serous
Crime, involved Corrupt POLITCIAN'S!!! I'm Still
Very Bitter, about how "The NAM" War was Micro- Managed Out of "LBJ'S WHITE HOUSE"!!
These Spineless, Politician's "Gave Away", South
Vietnam, on a "Silver Platter", after nearly 60,000 brave men, & women, gave their lives, & some were my friend's, that were "Tortured To Death"!!! America just left behind, some 1.5 Trillion U.S. Dollar's, in Military Weapon's, of ALL
DESCRIPTION'S!! Even The Fake/False, New's Outlet's, reported very little, of The RACIAL CONFLICT, between White's & Black's, that was
an everyday occurrence, & there were racial killing's, on both side's. I believe All of The Black, & White Leader's of "ALL STRIPES", Including David Duke, Richard Spencer, Louis Farakhan, & The New Black Panther's, Black Lives Matter,
as well as The Leader's, of The Black Liberation Army, along with The ARYAN BROTHERHOOD, could "IRON OUT",
our differences, by Direct Negotiation's, Openess, &
Truth!!!

I'm pretty sure none of were alive during that time, so what's your point?

DJRich Loc: Western Pa

The point is the south LOST, and they should get over it. There is no need to glorify the losers of a war they started

archie bunker Loc: Texas

LOL! You're digging deep trying to justify leftist snowflake insanity on this one!

Going by your logic.....hmmmm.....I think every statue, memorial, library, etc. honoring any politician who has LOST an election should be torn down.

DJRich Loc: Western Pa

Go for it if that makes you happy and content

archie bunker Loc: Texas

Was that your mic drop moment? 😂😂

DJRich Loc: Western Pa

Seems that you are the one complaining, and I am merely supporting your gripes, but it does no good to gripe to me, YOU have the gripe, run with it to those who can help you

archie bunker Loc: Texas

I wasn't griping about who lost what. I merely offered a suggestion using your own logic.
See, Texas wasn't part of the Confederacy. Those aren't my heros. Nor, are they yours.

However, it IS a part of the history of this nation, and it shouldn't be removed because a certain group of people need a hug every time they think about it.

DJRich Loc: Western Pa

Well, that is part of YOUR problem, since texas WAS indeed part of the confederacy, and here is a list of the states and the date they seceded from the union.

Glad that helps clear up the gaps in your knowledge of history.

1. South Carolina (December 20, 1860)[64]
2. Mississippi (January 9, 1861)[65]
3. Florida (January 10)[66]
4. Alabama (January 11)[67]

It was a test. You do googley pretty good! I should give you more credit.

The thing you don't understand is that Texans look at our state as our own country. We handle our business.
Where were all of the puss is where you live at when we were whipping Mexico's ass?

Now let's do what you like to do, and switch this over to you.
As far as I know, you live in one of the most predominantly white counties in the nation. Do you have issues with non white people? Why don't you advocate for moving some color into your hood?
