    The rich elites controlled the government’s of the Confederate states. They were fighting to reserve slavery.

    Not every German Soldier was fighting to kill Slavs and Jews, but the Nazi leadership were and by fighting for such a regime, the soldiers became colored by it.

    No, I think you want him to be. But from what I see from his own words is that he is concerned about keeping alive the founding core values that made us great.

    Values do not mean race unless a person assumes a person is born with a genetic tendency to have certain values..

    The South started the war. Lincoln responded to their war of aggression.

    Slavery was the best thing to happen to lots of blacks.

    The Nazis (Nationalist Socialist Party) leadership were liberals.

    The hardcore Nazis were socialist.

    The Waffen SS was the militant arm or the political army of the Nazi party.

    Blame France and England for declaring war on Germany which stopped the Madagascar Plan being implemented which most of Europe was supporting at the time.

    The Nazis were hyperconservatives. They threw liberals in concentration camps.

    Why would I blame England and France for a war Germany started by invading Poland? Why are you an apologist for white supremacst genocide?

    Lincoln wasn't even the President when the war started.

    The Democratic party just refused to accept the outcome of the 1860 Presidential election and were butt hurt and came down with LDS (Lincoln Derangement Syndrome) and decided to secede from the union.

    Kinda like what we are seeing in California today.

    Adolf Hitler was a liberal.

    But many of the older hardcore Nazis were right out socialist.

    Lincoln was most definitely President when the Confederacy started the war. The war began on April 12th 1861. Lincoln had been in office for a month.

    He’s talking about using false names to manipulate people. The Nazis were no more liberal than North Korea is a “democratic republic”.

    As for them being socialist, they opposed Bolshevism from the start and enacted about every anti-worker, pro-corporate regulation you can imagine.

    The eleven states of the CSA, in order of their secession dates (listed in parentheses), were: South Carolina (December 20, 1860), Mississippi (January 9, 1861), Florida (January 10, 1861), Alabama (January 11, 1861), Georgia (January 19, 1861), Louisiana(January 26, 1861), Texas (February 1, 1861), Virginia (April 17, 1861), Arkansas (May 6, 1861), North Carolina (May 20, 1861), and Tennessee (June 8, 1861). Secession was declared by pro-Confederate governments in Missouri and Kentucky (see Confederate government of Missouri and Confederate government of Kentucky), but did not become effective as it was opposed by their pro-Union state governments.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secession_in_the_United_States

    Fort Sumter was the Unions first military reaction to the secession.

    The Union surrendered the fort after nobody was killed during the battle.

    The thinking at the time on both sides was one big battle would be fought and the the winner of the battle would win the war.

    That battle was fought on July 21st, 1861 and was fought at Manassas Junction, Virginia.

    The Yankees got their butts whooped.

    The Confederates failed to advance after the battle was won and occupy Washington DC not wanting to appear as the aggressors so the war went on.

    No, the first battle was Fort Sumter. It doesn’t matter that no one died. The Confederates launched a war of aggression by assaulting and invading sovereign US territory.

    Hitler was not in any way a liberal. He was hyperconservative as were the Nazis.

    Why are the terms "white nationalist" and "white supremacist" and "Western civilization" offensive?

    Why did the Nazis topple monuments and statues in Germany of prior German kings and aristocrats ?

    Because like all leftist they (Nazi's) despised monarchies and an aristocratic society.

    Do you get it ? Left wing...right wing.

    The hardcore Nazis plans after if they did win the war was to nationalized most of Germany's industrial industries.

    Why were many of the labor unions in America supporters of Hitler before Hitler invaded Russia ?

    Remember the North American Aviation strike in 1941 whose purpose was to prevent war materials from reaching England ?

    The left in America supported Nazi Germany before Hitler attacked their buddy Comrade Stalin. Then overnight Nazis became right wing.

    White supremacy or white supremacism is the racist belief that white people are superior to people of other races and therefore should be dominant over them.

    The leader of the Senate is a wussy that is less interested in truth then how the media paints things.

    Truth is, the guy is not a racist. He simply is courageous. And we need more like him.

    Well first off, they didn't. The Niederwalddenkmal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niederwalddenkmal) was built in the 1880's, celebrated Kaiser Wilhelm and other aristocratic German leaders, is one of the tallest monuments in Germany, outlasted the Nazis, and still stands today. I've been there.

    So were the Founding Fathers "leftists"? Because they despised monarchies. They even tore down the statues to prior kings and aristocrats.

    Source for this claim?

    Source for this claim?

    No, Conservatives supported Nazi Germany. For instance Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh. The Nazis were heavily supported by the America First movement. America First...now where have I heard that term used lately? Would it be from the guy who called Nazis "very fine people" and lives in the White House?

    Even if that is true why are the terms themselves offensive?

    How would you write the headline for this story?

    White supremacist flyers posted outside Myrtle Beach newspaper and TV station
    https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/state/south-carolina/article224502495.html

    Should all of these books with the term "Western Civilization" in their titles be banned?
    https://www.goodreads.com/work/editions/168551-western-civilization-volume-ii-since-1500

    Is the term "black nationalists" as offensive as the term "white nationalists" is?

    "U.S. POLICY TOWARD AFRICA
    [7.] Q. Mr. President, recently Dr. Kissinger announced a new 10-point program dealing with our relations with Africa. Would you please elaborate on this program and specifically what support we will give to the black nationalists in their struggle for majority rule?"

    Steve King Removed from Committee Assignments Over White Supremacy Remark.

    House Republican leaders removed Representative Steve King of Iowa from the Judiciary and Agriculture Committees on Monday night as party officials scrambled to appear tough on racism and contain damage from comments Mr. King made to The New York Times questioning why white supremacy is considered offensive.

    Why is Steve King getting the boot if his words were not offensive.
