Spiraling out of control...

Target Corporation has removed a Confederate officer costume from sales on its website in the aftermath of the murders at a black Charleston, South Carolina church last week.
A Target spokesperson told WCCO that the Confederate soldier costume is the only item of its kind sold by the company.
“Our intention is never to offend,” a Target spokesperson said. “We did identify one historical costume on our website. As we all recognize the great sensitivity around this, we have removed that one item from our website.”
Amazon.com and Wal-Mart are other major retailers who are no longer selling items with the Confederate flag or other associated symbols.
The Charleston tragedy has opened up discussion on the appropriateness of symbols related to the Confederate side of the Civil War. There is a petition on Change.org to change the name of Minneapolis’ Lake Calhoun, which was named after Vice President John C. Calhoun — a passionate supporter of slavery.
Lemmings.
I’m waiting for Civil War re-enactment to be outlawed at this rate.
Due to it having photos and graphics of the Confederate Flag.
You Laugh! But Don't, Erase the History. Then you can write your own history and the truth will be what you make it.
I’m at a complete loss for words at this point.
Burn books
Erase history
Delete heritage
Evil is Righteousness
Man is woman
Up is Down
Black is White
Right is Wrong
One people
One Government
One Leader
History is already being ignored or rewritten in many public schools.

We use to think that it was so funny.

The local reenactors’ group was once trying to recruit me into the group as a Confederate because they were way over-represented with Yankees. (Reenactors often try to duplicate the uniforms of ancestors in the war—they knew I have ancestors who fought on both sides, so I would be a good recruit since I could switch-hit, as it were, although it would also mean having to buy or make two uniforms.)
Bet they are going to have an even harder time recruiting Confederates now.
Check out the peoples cube....
Oh yeah
Soon, “The South shall rise again” will only refer to some Mississippian taking his Viagra.
When do we get to remove virulently racist Woodrow Wilson’s name from every bridge, building and monument?
