According to a Facebook page called Left Behind USA, Antifa domestic terrorists are planning to desecrate the Gettysburg National Cemetery and set the American Flag ablaze on Independence Day.

Gettysburg, the site of the bloodiest battle of the Civil War and on American soil, is respected and revered by every sane American.

There is a chance this FB post was just a troll but at any rate, I know a lot of bikers who intend to go to Gburg just in case.

You know, if I had a diagnoses of Altzheimer’s or ALS, or some form of inoperable cancer — something that was gonna punch my ticket in another few months or couple of years, in my hands...

I feel ya here. Thought of that myself over the years.

It was a few years ago I realized how hypocritical it was to cite the Declaration of Independence regarding a battle fought to stop people from getting their independence.

Lincoln was analogous to King George III.

They want to burn a flag to protest a cemetery of men who died to end slavery?

They didn't die to end slavery. They died to stop other people from gaining independence from Washington DC.

"Ending slavery" got tacked on about half way through the war, but the war wasn't launched for that purpose.

RIGHT! I posted earlier an inaccurate reply to your statement above. Antietam is said to be the bloodiest ONE-DAY battle in American history.

You have a reading comprehension issue.

Go back and look what I wrote. In a nutshell the right is cowering and allowing themselves to be attacked and bullied by the left whether by fist or the written word online. Antifa should have been taken care of 2 years ago when they popped up their heads.

Show me where the right is really attacking back. Why isn’t the right at all these protest when statues are being torn down and putting a stop to it?

The left is walking all over us. Prove me wrong.

I dunno... I had a great uncle that had Altzheimers and he did OK for the first year after the diagnosis. And I had a buddy that died right before last Thanksgiving that got diagnosed with ALS in 2015 and was driving and working through November 2017. In fact, we went shooting in late 2016. Once we got a support for where his left hand would grip the rifle (sighting rest), he did fine with an AR-15...

By now you’ve probably noticed - Southerners talk tough and big, but when it is time to do anything, they go radio silence (like Sen. Lindsay Graham).

Yep, displayed their confederate flags on their trucks at Darlington but as soon as they went inside the track all the flags were put away like little sheep and they conformed.

It’s not just Southerners, the North is Just as bad-allowing the left to take over and bully.

. . . ARMED left-wing movement . . .

One can poo-poo, but they are developing that capacity.

I posted the Gettysburg address focusing on the line,
“Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.”
See my tagline

No.

Burning a Flag is some folk’s ‘issue’ - as long as it is their flag - it is fine.

That is how it is suppose to work...

Jobs. Satisfying lives. Respect for laws that say you can't kill or beat them.

Thanks...that’s good to know. I spent many a time visiting Gettysburg and other battlefields through the South. Gettysburg and Antietam were always my favorite.

Fire hose? Nah. Gas hose would be better. Douse em all while they hold a burning flag.

>>This is southerners’ big chance to smash arrogant northern punks and for 2 years now no one has shown up.

>By now you've probably noticed - Southerners talk tough and big, but when it is time to do anything, they go radio silence (like Sen. Lindsay Graham).

Since you two were apparently asleep at the keyboard during the Charlottesville ordeal, I'll catch the both of you up: There was a demonstration to defend a statue of Lee (much like the defense of Columbus in Philadelphia, exactly the sort you two are claiming doesn't happen in the South) in which a man was attacked by a mob and forced to flee for his life but who, in the attempt to escape in his car, accidentally struck a women who later died from a heart attack. Can you guess how this was reported in the mass media -- "racist white supremacist drives through peaceful anti-racists, kills innocent non-racist!"

We now realize that it was a pre-planned trap and that it was used to create a false narrative which is now employed to affect the asymmetric enforcement of law that you currently see now. Give proper credit where it is due. Southerners do try, but you can see what they get for their efforts. Smack talk from never-even-rans doesn't help a bit.

if this is for real and not just some BS post by someone on a lark, I think they may a few patriots exercising their 2nd Amendment rights offering an opposing viewpoint.

So I was right, you actually are letting antifa manipulate you into supporting an armed conflict that will only be used by them to try to make Trump look bad.

What the antifas don’t understand is they’re on a fast train to self destruction.

Calm down. Let them self destruct.
