If the Capitol Attack Was a Riot, Then, What Were the BLMers Doing Out on the Streets Back in 2020? Was That a Riot As Well?

FEBRUARY 10, 2023

**  Rioter who menaced  officer with Confederate flag gets prison.  (U.S. Capitol Jan. 6 attack.  I only saw pictures of him with the flag and pole over his shoulder.  And, of course, all those BLMers out in the streets in 2020, were there for social justice.)

**  Renaming brings to mind history, the cost of wokeness.  (It will cost a lot of money for all ther renaming.  I still think that the cost should be paid by those who want the names changed.)

How About Woke State University? Confederates = Marxists? What Gives Here?

NOVEMBER 5, 2021

**  'Confederate ' leftists:  rewriting  history for the Marxist Lost cause.  (The Hill.  What?)

**  City Council (tentatively) plans to decide the fate of Charlottesville's Confederate statues before year's end.  (Virginia.  They will also be looking to the future of the Sacagawea and Lewis & Clark statue.  Let's hope they won't be foolish enough to go with the black museum's request to melt the Lee statue down and turn it into another statue (probably touting the black experience)

**  Resident  seeks relocation of Confederate monument.  (Georgia)

**  Howard W. French column:  As Confederate monuments fall, build monuments to black heroes at risk of being forgotten.  (Agreed.  All persons involved in heroic deeds should be remembered.  But, how about leaving the Confederate statues up and adding ones for Blacks?)

**  Loudon to rename  Jeb Stuart, Ft. Johnston Roads.  (Virginia.  Just don't rename them for Blacks.)

**  Lawmakers likely to vote on Dixie State (University) name change next week.  (Utah.  It would become Utah Technical University.  At least it will not be named for a black person.  But, I have a better suggestion for a new name.  How about Woke State University?)

Yep, Those Commie Rebels.  --Old Secesh

This Should Be Maryland's New State Song: 'We Is Woke, Oh We Is Woke. Great God Almighty, We Is Woke'

And, you can even keep the tune you already have and just change the words.

I've heard "Maryland, My Maryland" many times over the years, but to tell the truth, never paid much attention to the words.  After looking at the lyrics, I have to agree that they are very Confederate and anti-anything Union.  Yep, they need changing.  Maybe something along the lines of all this "Woke" stuff these days.

Or, something extolling the wonders of the state or things to be proud of would be good as well.

But, I just read a commentary by a commentator "General Assembly faces the music, votes to shame that tune."

I take it, he does not like the state song.  "And so it was  with 'Maryland, My Maryland,' an ode  to the Confederacy, or a Civil War regional fight-song, a seventh-rate song by a third-rate poet,  set to a plagiarized  melody, 'Lautiger Horatius,' or 'O Tannenbaum,' better known to American ears as 'O Christmas Tree.'  Take your pick."

With my song, which goes right along with "O Christmas Tree," all you have to do is change the words.

Shake Me, Woke Me.  And Little Ol' Seventh-Rate, Third-Rate.  --Old Secesh
