Posted under Obama
To show that CHT is not a knee-jerk anti-Obama website but a more intelligent and reasoned anti-Obama website, I would like to offer our President a probably rare, but deserved note of praise for his decision to have a memorial wreath laid at the Confederate Soldiers Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day.
Now, Obama did this just as he received a letter from 60 academics (including Bill Ayres of all people who, unlike Davis and the Confederate government, really did want to overthrow the U.S. government and replace it with a Maoist state) who asked him not do this, not to “honor” the Confederacy. Indeed such there are such persons in academia and no doubt at the SPLC who have long wished to equate the Confederacy with Nazi Germany and treat Southern soldiers as though they were members of the Waffen SS and Jefferson Davis as Adolph Hitler.
So in having the wreath laid at the Memorial as is tradition, Obama ignored such hateful people and their divisive anti-Southern drivel. It would not have surpised me if he done the opposite. In fact, I would have expected it from him. That he didn’t does deserve a modicum of praise, even if it’s the blind-pig-hitting-the-acorn kind.

This is admirable but:
He was only continuing tradition, right?
Continuing is better than not, but it’s not as admirable as trekking out on one’s own.

I ain’t buying it. Obama is a black belt in the Alinsky school of political theatre. While he plays the part of the Great Unifier and Healer, he’s pushing a radical agenda of centralized control over every aspect of our lives, not to mention the globalist campaign to eradicate our majority culture.
No admiration from me.

But certainly Harrison you can celebrate the fact that the author of said letter, the well known Confederate hater Ed Sebsta, was ignored by Obama.

CC,
do you deny that the SPLC tries to equate the Confederate South with NS Germany? Do you deny that, unlike you, most Americans view NS Germany as a great monster?
Nothing Patroon said was an actual insult to your beloved party. It might have been a knock back into reality though.

Captainchaos, that was your last post here. You have continually proven that you are incapable of sticking to the topics of the thread. You sidetrack every discussion by launching into White Nat rants. I let that little gem slip through above because it demonstrates what a foolish and evil little obsessive you are. You condemn yourself with your own words.
The Confederacy was peace seeking and defending herself from aggression. Nazi Germany was acting aggressively against her neighbors. I believe that America should have tried to stay out of WWII, but I shouldn’t have to remind you that Germany declared war against America, your own country. Talk about duel loyalty.
