If you support monuments to Confederate soldiers would you also support a monument to Nidal Hasan?
If you don't know the name Major Nidal Hasan was the U.S. army soldier that opened fire on his comrades in arms killing 13 and wounding 32 at Fort Hood on November 5, 2009. If you think that monuments to Confederates are "just history" then wouldn't a monument to Nidal Hasan just be history as well? If you think a monument shouldn't be constructed for him why not? Is it because he didn't kill enough Americans? The actions of the Confederates, like Robert E. Lee, led to the deaths of over 365,000 patriots, so why are they celebrated? Wouldn't it make more sense to tear down the Confederate monuments and memorials and raise new ones to the valiant Americans that gave their lives fighting against them? Isn't that the history we should be remembering and celebrating? How about we start by building monuments to General William T. Sherman in every town and city in Georgia that he passed through?

If some artist did a work of art with Nidal Hasan as the subject- I would not seek to have it destroyed.
I am a Christian and I don't try to get any anti-Christian art work obliterated. If does exist (one example is "The Piss Cross").
It to me is a contradiction of sorts when a group champions freedom of expression for some and at the same time seeks to obliterate works of art for things they do not understand.

You're being absurd.
But do keep right on comparing the ancestors of half the country to mentally deficient murderers like Nidal Hassan.

A lot of Americans in 1861 felt the United States Constitution was a voluntary association of states, and each state should be free to leave if that was the will of the people in that state. It is silly to compare that momentous historical disagreement to some whack job Muslim jihadist. Grow up.

Liberals are trying to bleach bit the history books. It is all part of their indoctrination and propaganda campaign.
