Dixie-ping!

The Cyclorama itself is a piece of our history, irrespective of the fact that a three day battle couldn't be captured verbatim in a painting unless it was a mile long. |

What?
Another America-bashing Marxist?
OK ~ I remember now...”opposition in all things.” If it weren’t for people like him, we wouldn’t know how great people like Palin are.
Or maybe it's just that he hates it when historical facts contradict his editorials masquerading as news stories.
“Cyclorama painting in the America’s quintessential Civil War town, Gettysburg, PA”
Old Ben still remembers visiting that(as a youngster) for the Centennial. It was VERY cool!
You have to love it when people like this — and newspapers —are too busy picking 150-year-old scabs to notice what is happening today. This reminds me of the Inola Gay, when the Smithsonian allowed the Japanese to dictate the script for its exhibit, and got smacked down, but the Wash Post ran all these articles insisting we shouldn’t remember our history, that the Japanese had some valid points and the Japanese weren’t aggressive, etc, in other words, complete rewrite of Pearl Harbor casting us as the villains. The intellectual dishonesty of the Wash Post is breath-taking.
“Seriously, it’s only a matter of time until Civil War history is re-written to classify the Confederacy as an evil on grander scale than Nazi Germany.”
....it’s already happened at Texas A&M....the student code of conduct specifically forbids “the display of Nazi or Confederate symbols”
“Mr. Kennicott, please go to Moscow and visit the Borodinskaya Bitva, and tell the Russians how much their painting sucks.”
Think he’ll make it out alive? ;)
Oh great, this pinhead doesn’t believe that veterans and their descendants didn’t cry when viewing the painting-in-the-round?.....what does he do for an enocore, deny the holocaust?
Maybe he should try reading a book...as the Oompa Loompas say, “you’ll get no...you’ll get no...you’ll get no commercials?” :)
I guess you don't do crossword puzzles.
Yea. Sheese, we ALL no its spelt Inola Gaye!

[Stonewalls] ....it’s already happened at Texas A&M....the student code of conduct specifically forbids “the display of Nazi or Confederate symbols”
That was Robert Gates's initiative -- part of Manor Bush's drive to "touch up" (de-Aggify) Texas A&M. You know, make it more ..... modern..... kind of place an old Yalie [as in, Poppy Bush] could be proud to stroll around and tell people he's on the board of regents.....
A member of the Corps of Cadets had a small CBF (square) sticker on his personal footlocker. The cadet was called in and told forthrightly that if he didn't remove the sticker, he'd get tossed from the Corps. That's how Gates rolls -- PC as long as you aren't looking down his throat with enough conservative votes to evict him from his job.
Massa Poppy, too, come to think of it.
