Stone Mountain. That would require Taliban type removal.
I dont think even libs would have the stones to pull that one off.
Drape with “black” cloth? Probably.

“Hearing Gettysburg National Battlefield has banned the Confederate flag from their gift shops.”

This is madness.

Who told them to do that? The head guy there didn’t tell them to go f___ themselves?

The Southern army lost.

Get rid of all Confederate evidence.

The Indians lost.

Get rid of all reservations, etc.

“The question is, will anyone fight back?”

No. The incrementalism of America’s slide has made all of us complacent, like the frog in the kettle. We don’t know how to fight any more; we really don’t.

Amazing that patriots in the 1700s were effective using the most basic methods. Now we have amazing communications technology available to us and we’re weak. No fire in the belly any more.

Has anyone stood up to say "no"?

Republicans stand for NOTHING !!! They cave because they have no core beliefs.

When will we stop the re-writing of history to appease stupid people who have nothing better to do....this government pays these low information voters not to work...it is no wonder this nation shows such little pride in the real history of America. Most know little about Lincoln, his Republican party of the North...the actual facts of the War of Northern Aggression...or how that Republican party ripped off the Native Americans....that history has been all but obliterated as has American history, the real history.

And Jesus wept...........

They are talking about digging up confederate graves and tearing down monuments like the Taliban

Which will be their bridge too far. We need to encourage them to move, and quickly, in that direction.

"Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance."

"He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious."

Grania, this is what’s mind boggling. It’s bad enough for the left to be doing this. But who would have thought that everyone would simply fall into line? Have they been putting something in the water over the years to make these people mentally/emotionally weak?

The lack of any meaningful resistance, much less defiance, is the most troublesome to me.

Nikki Haley and Caitlin Graham are to blame for caving so quickly. They should have just said nothing and let it pass.

Agreed. They are contemptible cowards. They are disgustingly weak human beings.

As I understand it the national parks po-po told them to remove the merchandise but the vender declined. I’m sure we haven’t heard the last of it.

Now, do I, *snort*, think that the GOP leadership is actually, *giggle*, following Sun Tzu? Not a chance.

But what they are doing is going to work to our advantage. Let the Progs think that they're rolling forward, laying waste to their hated enemies.

Limbaugh predicted, would be the U.S. flag

Easy prediction looking at what has occurred in the recent decades. I personally do not need to rely on Limbaugh for reading tea leaves. More coming down the road and they certainly won't stop at the American Flag.

Flags are not the big booty they're targeting. There are bigger prizes. Flags, culture, history, education are just part of this incremental process. What they're seeking to plunder and eradicate will provide them with total control, which is their end goal.

To claim that the Confederate flag is a today's symbol of racism is merely another sign of a lethal progressive illness afflicting America.

” Confederate Flag Controversy May Be Just the First Battle ”

Battle? Was there a battle that I missed? All I’ve seen is a bunch of surrender ceremonies.
