You picked a great example of trying to bring back the Confederacy, perhaps you think the traitors actually had a noble purpose or that it still should be the rock upon which the old Union would split.

Stone Mountain Park officially opened on April 14, 1965 – 100 years to the day after Lincoln's assassination. Four flags of the Confederacy are flown at the site. The Stone Mountain Memorial Lawn "contains...thirteen terraces — one for each Confederate state.... Each terrace flies the flag that the state flew as member of the Confederacy."

As Alexander Hamilton Stephens, VP of the Confederacy said

But not to be tedious in enumerating the numerous changes for the better, allow me to allude to one other though last, not least. The new constitution has put at rest, forever, all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institution African slavery as it exists amongst us the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution. Jefferson in his forecast, had anticipated this, as the "rock upon which the old Union would split." He was right. What was conjecture with him, is now a realized fact. But whether he fully comprehended the great truth upon which that rock stood and stands, may be doubted. The prevailing ideas entertained by him and most of the leading statesmen at the time of the formation of the old constitution, were that the enslavement of the African was in violation of the laws of nature; that it was wrong in principle, socially, morally, and politically. It was an evil they knew not well how to deal with, but the general opinion of the men of that day was that, somehow or other in the order of Providence, the institution would be evanescent and pass away. This idea, though not incorporated in the constitution, was the prevailing idea at that time. The constitution, it is true, secured every essential guarantee to the institution while it should last, and hence no argument can be justly urged against the constitutional guarantees thus secured, because of the common sentiment of the day. Those ideas, however, were fundamentally wrong. They rested upon the assumption of the equality of races. This was an error. It was a sandy foundation, and the government built upon it fell when the "storm came and the wind blew."

"Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery—subordination to the superior race—is his natural and normal condition."

And if you think the desire of the Tweety campaign is not to be divisive and is a leader in critical thinking.

The campaign ads over the weekend vowed to protect a new statue: "Christ the Redeemer" .................................................. ..............in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

After Trump successfully divides the nation and the new Confederacy rises, no doubt supported and defended by all of Trump's fully Second amendment armed white nationalist army, will Trump become its President? Will he be allowed to play golf in non-Confederate states? What will become of Trump Tower? Will he still be Putin's puppet?

Just keep believing while his base gets smaller and smaller.

Remember, Tweety said we were going to go to Mars.

Now, we can’t go to Europe, Canada and Mexico is closing their border too.

Sick of winning yet?

I did not pick it, the Black Militia picked it. They chose that place to start trouble and incite people.

It has zero bearing on me, I am not a racist or a redneck or a Confederate lover. The history of the mountain has nothing to do with me. If there are people who have a problem, there are ways of doing something about it legally other than causing such a disruption. If this stuff goes on and on unchecked, it could find it's way to Vermont and to Middleboro for all we know. Keep on bashing Trump and stick your head in the sand about reality.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

What did they do that was illegal? Or is it that armed blacks making things uncomfortable should be illegal, but not the armed whites in Michigan who occupied the State House?

Just what constitutional change do you propose to make, that will make peaceful protest illegal?

You claim not to be a racist, but you support one.

Tweety is threatening to veto the Defense Authorization Act if Congress follows through on plans to rename military installations named after Confederate generals.

It is straight-up white supremacy. The Confederacy was not the United States of America. It was a rebellion against it.

That’s not patriotism. It’s the opposite.

Tweety's running on a neo-Confederate platform, and the virus, you're just gonna have to live with it.

133,000 dead today, the virus is out of control and the end is not in sight.

They walked right up to the line without crossing over it. You can say it is distasteful, like many did when it was armed white men and women. HOWEVER they have ZERO legal right to create a checkpoint and stop traffic, with firearms, which IS what they did.

Violent protest should be illegal.

Because THE LEFT WILL NOT STOP MARCHING THROUGH INSTITUTIONS, devouring this country, eating our young. Wer can't have a discussion on gun control because YOU wont stop. We can't have a discussion on monuments to move or redo because you won't stop.

The only reason NOT to change those names is because the left wont stop. They took down the statue of Frederick Douglas !!

Didn’t you? This wasn’t some protest run amok, it was a targeted hit done in secrecy.

How about showing us you have a tiny bit of common sense while you try your hardest to educate us with your big brain.]

[ I don't. Your interrogation techniques fail as well as your reading comprehension. My point had nothing to do with that. I am talking about legally getting the courts to rule in their favor to meet whatever demands they are looking for like removing the offensive monument etc. Where you come up with that question in your mind shows your obsession with all things Trump and orange man is bad, one track mind you are.]

You claim not to be a racist, but you support one.

[Liberal logic, so if you are not for Trump you are for Biden a known racist so you support a racist.]
