Springtime for the Confederacy: At Dolly Parton’s Civil War–themed dinner theater, [tr]

The same week that a statue of Robert E. Lee led to the death of an innocent woman in Charlottesville, Virginia, I watched him oink and squeal in a race for the fate of the country. Lee, this time, was a piglet—part of Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede, a Medieval Times–style dine-in attraction where seven nights a week and at occasional weekend matinees, the South rises again.

Not that much different than Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show

Looking for history or truth in any dinner with entertainment doesn’t make any sense

What next? Will the Antifa FASCISTS be storming, ‘Burt Reynold’s Dinner Theater’ in Florida anytime in the near future? If so, I’d like to warn them.

When is the, ‘Million Fascist March’ scheduled for Branson, MO?

Aisha,

Expect an answer from Dolly.

She doesn’t cotton to your bullshit and isn’t where she is because of rubes like you.

Your Springtime reference is delusional and she will defend her lifetime work.

Maybe comparing Dolly to Hitler might keep Slate busy for awhile.

Stone Mountain GA:


Jeff Davis, Robert E Lee and Stonewall Jackson.

Predominantly blacks employed in the workforce, black guests at the theme park when we were there, appx. 35%.

If they destroyed the frieze the place would go out of business.

If they're so offended, why are they there? But then again, these are mainly southern blacks.

Yankees, stay where you are.

Dollywood was originally the Rebel Railroad a 1960s era theme park that was based on the 100 year anniversary of the Civil War. I went there when my family stopped in Gatlinburg for a few days on our way back from a trip to Pennsylvania.

We had to ride a train to get from the parking lot to the park and the kids got cap rifles to shoot the Yankees that attacked the train.

So much for Gone With The Wind. Frankly, my dear...

Always enjoyed the Dixie Stampede show. My wife couldn’t stand eating a Cornish game hen with her fingers, though.

I have my own name for the upcoming unpleasantness:

“The Great Cleansing”.

But I think we’re all taking ‘bout the same thing.

Your scenario raises a salient point:

Why do people like her seek to destroy what they could never create?

Why not, instead of trying to revile my culture, she simply revel in her own?

Could it be that she knows her culture sucks donkey balls?

Maybe these ‘leftist’ are more like the fakes on Amazon who praise a product using the same words with quirky mistakes in grammar that make us suspect they're Chinese.
