It's about treason against America. Obviously most Americans are comfortable with treason against Her Majesty.
I will indeed oppose removing monuments to men like Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton, Adams and their like.
I've never pretended to be an ally of SJWs, nor will I ever be their ally. They are reprehensible and unthoughtful little creatures. May they rot.

Correct. As an American, I view the American revolution as a positive and am therefore comfortable with praising the leaders thereof.
As an American, I view treason against America as a negative and am therefore comfortable denigrating the leaders thereof.
Fairly obvious distinction for non autists.

Somebody's peanut butter and jealous of our freedoms!
If it's fascist to support public displays venerating our nation's founders call me Mussolini ;-)

Conflate all instances of rebellion to your little hearts desire. Doesn't make them the same for purposes of what historical figures are and are not worthy of being viewed positively in our shared national consciousness.

Has any rebellion ever been justified (or more justifiable than others) in your opinion? Or just all traitors?
Should countries have any sentiment toward founders, or is that not permitted unless said founders conformed to modern cultural norms?
