It's almost comical.
The latest is "Dixie Days."
We're sending our school children to "Dixie Days"!
Not to a Civil War event, mind you. But to a Civil War event titled . . . "Dixie Days"!
About 400 students from Hanover and Chesterfield counties were to attend yesterday's opening of "Dixie Days" at Pole Green Park in Hanover.

They got sent home to Texas. Seems the "dixie" in their name was just a farce, they weren't Southern Ladies at all!

"Alabama used to be a great state before they removed 'Heart of Dixie' - at least they still have you ;o)" Turns out having that on the tag is in the state constitution, so, it's still there in a tiny little heart that you need a microscope to read. It was replaced with, "When Stars Fell On Alabama"
Nice to hear from you.

Good question! He's got the writing skills of an irritating 12 year old, that much I'll say for him.

So here's my proposal: Do "Dixie Days." But do "Yankee Days," too.I've got a better proposal. Do 'Dixie Days' and start teaching real history in the yankee run school system. See how fast the tyrant and his minion generals fall out of favor. Won't have to worry even hearing about 'yankee days' ever again

We do this over and over and over. It's not hard to figure why outsiders refer to us as: "Richmond, the Capital of the Confederacy . . . "
That's code, of course, for: "Richmond, still racist and stupid 140 years after the Civil War ended . . . "
Richmond
was the capital of the Confederacy! The “stupidity” may be in the writer’s ignorance or PC pandering.

I used to date a girl named "Dixie", I think she was what kids today call a "babe", at the time I thought she was a "doll".
She actually was a real sweet girl. She got a lot of kidding over her name even back in the 70's.
