Nash Battlefield Farm closes June 1st
More censorship and political correctness.......
Quote:
With Confederate flags gone, Civil War museum will close
Steve Burns The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
5:38 p.m Wednesday, May 24, 2017 Atlanta News
A Henry County commissioner requested a few months ago that a local Civil War museum remove its Confederate flags.
But without that symbol, the Nash Farm Battlefield and Museum announced that it can’t conduct its mission properly and will close June 1.
In a Facebook post, the museum’s directors cited the request by District 2 Commissioner Dee Clemmons that all Confederate flags be removed from the museum, in addition to the gift shop, “in an effort not to offend anyone.”
“To exclude any Confederate flag would mean the historical value has been taken from our exhibits, and a fair interpretation could not be presented to each guest,” the post read. “Confederate flags were on this hallowed ground, as were the Union flags. To remove either of them would be a dishonor.”

We are losing our history. This is no mistake, this is a concerted and coordinated attack by the leftists taking full advantage of the times: discordant elements sowing distrust and setting the stage for anarchy to be accepted and common-place. They are VERY successful in shouting down voices not congruent to what they want people to hear. They are fascists.
Don't buy into this, don't entertain their thoughts, don't let them bully their point of view. We are losing the war in this - refuse to go quietly into that night. Challenge them wherever they may be: at the watercooler; gym; gas station; work place. Challenge them, make them defend their assault against free speech, make them rethink their strategy.
Most of these are kids who are nothing more than useful idiots parroting back swill that has been poured into their heads at school. My kids are 12. I nightly have to practically conduct "re-integration" classes on them as if they were just released from captivity. I'm not focusing on telling them "what" to think so much as how to critically look at the information they are given. That is sorely lacking in today's world.
Keep up the fight, we need Patriots now more than ever - our Republic is hanging on a precipice....a little shove and we're lost.

It bothers me to no end to see all those Confederate sculptures coming down and history being erased. Too many people idly setting by as this happens. This erosion of history has been going on for years but now it's like a feeding frenzy. At some point they are going to be going after Abe Lincoln.

Where does it end?
I just had a discussion with my father-in-law on this very topic.
He was saying that he was pissed about the Confederate monuments being removed in New Orleans and several other other places. I couldn't agree more with him.
So, basically, what this says to me is that it is now okay in America to systematically erase our history if we are "offended" or if we feel morally superior to what a symbol/monument represents.
Isn't this what the communists, fascists, and now these ISIS goat f*c&ers do?
So, where does it end?
Will they next close ANC and take a wrecking ball to the Lee Mansion because that was General Lee's family estate? SMH

I just see it as history being erased and another attack on white culture. Considering the present trend it is only a matter of time before the US goes the way of South Africa.
The way the deck has been shuffled the SJW's get a slap on the wrist and anyone who tries to counter the SJW receives severe consequences.

The commie organization AntiFa has now set it's sights on the Sam Houston monument in Houston, TX with a rally on June 10.
Yeah, Sam Houston opposed the spread of slavery, but he was a slaveowner at the same time so any monument to him must go!
Where does it end? What is the tipping point where normal everyday Americans say "Enough!"? Or will normal everyday Americans go quietly into the dustbins of history?
So far the left has declared:
Confederate Battle Flag - racist
Gadsden Flag - racist
How much longer before it's the United States Flag?

Confederate = Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandfather.
Heritage, not hate.

From the Buchanan piece:
"Of these icon-smashers it may be said: Like ISIS and Boko Haram, they can tear down statues, but these people could never build a country."
A great comparison.
