Plimoth Plantation to change its name
Boston Herald ^ | July 11, 2020 | LISA KASHINSKY

Plimoth Plantation will change its name to better incorporate the history of the Native Americans who have long lived in the region.

A new moniker that will be “inclusive of the Indigenous history that is part of our educational mission” will be unveiled later this year, the living history museum said.

I’m glad I saw it last year before crazy leftists decided to change the name.

Whoa. I joked about that early on in the renaming hysteria. I didn’t think it would actually happen.

The Indians have always been part of the Plymouth colony story. This is a move to downplay the historical truth of the Pilgrim settlement, the first permanent European settlement in New England.

I watched a rerun of the 1970s game show Match Game within the past week. A temporary escape from reality. Anyway the host broke into "The "Battle Hymn of the Republic" and the audience sang along in an impromptu serenade. It seemed that everyone knew the words in the audience. That would never happen today in such a format. If anything,I am surprised the song isn't banned.

This crap is what happens when leftists gain control of the education system.

They’re NOT “Native Americans” nor are they “indigenous people.”

Genetic tests on various tribes around the countries show that their ancestors came from all those “stans” that prior to 1991 were know as Soviet Central Asia or the coast of China.

Their ancestors crossed over the land bridge that is now
mostly under water.

Their ancestors were here first but that’s about it.

When Rick Monday saved the American flag from being burned by those two democrats in 1976, Dodger stadium broke out into “God Bless America.” I guarantee that would never happen today.

Did you see Tucker Carlson last night? He played a couple of clips from meetings or interviews. I lost track. The disease that is liberalism is spreading in a fetid and festering way. What was that hostile woman yelling at the male about white privilege? And then calling white people bleepholes in the same segment?

Omygosh. There's a thousand cities that will have to be renamed. As someone has pointed out, New York is named after a prolific slave trader.

Sorry, New York. Trumpopolis sounds much better anyway.

After 9/11 when it seemed that the civilized world was all on the same page, there a service that Queen Elizabeth attended. One of the hymns was “Onward Christian Soldiers”. I thought it interesting at the time, that that hymn would not have been chosen in America. Not really P.C.

Removing Kate Smith’s statue from Philadelphia with a sack over the image was criminal. Taking away “God Bless America” from Philadelphia in hockey or New York in baseball was cowardly. It was the infancy of this garbage. Kate Smith deserved better and so did her family.

#6. Jamestown will be named “Jonestown”, after a Marxist slaughterhouse in Guyana led by Communist (fake reverend) Jim Jones. Two of his lawyers who were not, unfortunately, killed by Jones gunmen in the day of the slaughter were Mark Lane (of the fake “Conversations with Americans”, a reported seducer of Jane Fonda, and hardcore Marxist turned anti-Semite later in life) and CPUSA member (id. and Hillary Clinton’s legal boss on the “New Haven Black Panther Torture Murder Trial”, she having chosen to be a legal intern with this well known Communist Party USA membered law firm - Burstein, Fagan, and Dreyfus).

Next, Plymouth Rock will be renamed “Plymouth Stone” because “rock” is mentioned in the bible re the “rock of ages” and is therefore an attempt to inject religion into inanimate objects. /Big F**king SARC here.

I called it back on June 22, 2020:

Next they’ll be renaming Plimoth Plantation in Plymouth, Mass.

These people demanding the rewriting of history are violent fascists. They must be opposed. Blood will flow unless Americans find their backbone.
