A simple rule for honoring our "heroes" and erecting statues or monuments [View all]

[louis c]

Here's the simple rule that I suggest when considering whether a statue or monument shall be displayed in the United States.

There shouldn't be a statue displayed anywhere, either on public or private property, that can be construed as celebrating or honoring an individual who has committed treason against the United States.

Obviously, any soldier or official of the Confederacy is guilty of treason. They're wearing their God Damned uniforms in the monuments.

Definition of Treason;

What is the definition of treason in the US?

"Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open Court.
