Memorial day and some of the stupidity thrown out by the right has me a bit pissed. Lets start with Obama visiting Hiroshima. First, he didn't go ON memorial day!, he didn't apologize for being the only nation in the world to drop not 1 but 2 of the most lethal weapons in the world with the intent on killing as many civilians as possible, He did however show our now allies Japan that our country is not the heartless assholes the right wing in this country make us out to be. He did place a wreathe at the tomb of the unknowns ON memorial day! As for this notion that this country is always correct and never has to apologize for things we do or did that was just plain fucked up and wrong, YOU'RE WRONG!!! We as a nation have stuck our noses in plenty of shit we should have just stayed the hell out of and by getting involved made it worse.
Now, the rednecks want to claim confederate soldiers as American veterans dying at war and claim they deserve to be remembered, BULLSHIT!!!! They were traitors trying to succeed from the union, they fought AGAINST the United States as they were trying to leave. You continue to show you're ignorance of history. Your rebel flag is a sign of hatred and bigotry! It was flown over rebel troops fighting for states rights, that is true. But every state that wrote a letter explaining their decision to succeed from the union explained the right their state was fighting for above all else was the right to keep slaves, TO OWN HUMAN BEINGS AS PROPERTY!
