26. In 1783, the Colonial Traitors against the British Crown WON their Turn-Coat Rebellion

and thus magically became Revolutionary heros in a glorious American War for Independence. Are you beginning to understand the framing?

Despite that George Washington was a traitor to and enemy of the (still existing) British Crown; despite his responsibility for killing thousands of British soldiers (Rank and file deaths in British service in 1783 was 43,633)*, England honored George Washington with a statue in central London.

Showing respect to an enemy used to be considered a marker of civilization, known as far back as ancient Rome.

The only thing I understand about your posts about Stone Mountain is that you are proposing to blow it up, which is why there are other posts on the thread talking about the similarity to ISIS.
