Give them time.

Next will be the reenactments because someone in the crowd may be offended.

LIBs are insane. ALL LIBs should be placed in mental institutions. Unfortunately, they are running free so our country is becoming a massive mental institution.

With the stuff going down whereby America is humiliating itself, that flag might see a resurgence after all. Kind of a symbolic rebelling against what the land has become, if nothing more.

OK, let me pimp a song.

The Reenactment is fourth of July weekend I find this to be very shocking.

If the liberals had been in power at the end of the Civil War, it would have looked like the French Revolution. Blood everywhere.

And that is the most accurate assessment of what we are currently dealing with. The French revolution was also an unholy coalition between impoverished peasants and the debauched children of privilege.

I've read an interesting essay that say the Marquis de Sade (Father of Sadism) was the match that lit the whole thing off!

If Gettysburg is run by the National Park Service, then you know why this happened.

Now the Battle of Gettysburg will be known as “The Battle between the Union Bluejackets and the Southern Grayjackets”.

The reenactments are rarely held on the actual battlefield. There’s a nearby private farm in Adams County that has similar terrain features thats used.

The Battlefield Park and town of Gettysburg do benefit financially from the reenacment. Maybe the reenactors should cancel it.

Hope it makes them feel all warm and fuzzy.
Just took visiting all of the national battelfields off our bucket list. Memorials and gift shop items?
I live in GA...it’s all around us, we know the truth and I already got my reb refrigerator magnet.
(there’s still cannon on top of Kennesaw Mountain.)
Hope they have a fun ride down.

Already saw two opinion pieces on just that today. Reenactments perpetuate the lost cause romanticism, etc.

You should still go to the battlefields. I’m sure the NPS Rangers and (at Gettysburg) licensed guides are incensed by this.

Just don’t spend a dime at the gift shop/visitors center.

It won’t be much of a show if the Confederate re-enactors don’t show up!

Lord have mercy. How absurd is this action?

There will destroy it all if we let them.

This could really backfire on the left (& their pubbie co-conspirators) in a big way.
