Here Is the List of Army Bases to Be Renamed-- Part 1

From the March 26, 2023,  "Army: Cost of renamimg  nine Confederate-named military bases  has nearly soubled" by Suzanne Downing.

And, of course, you know where I stand on the issue of costs.

**********************

THOSE who want it renamed should bear the cost of doing so.

That means that BLM, SPLC and NAACP as well as their white minions should pay.

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.)

Treat BLM/Confederate Symbols Equally

JANUARY 11, 2023

**  Black students allege school district banned BLM attire but allowed nooses, c(C)onfederate symbols.  (Effingham, Georgia, schools.  To ban one and not the other goes against my way of thinking.  Either both are banned or both allowed.)

If one is bad, then the other is bad.

**  I take full responsibility  for vandalizing UM's Confederate statue.  (Univ. of Mississippi.  But, it wasn't vandalizing.  It was a hate crime.)

**  Debate over future of c(C)onfederate monument.  (Manatee County, Florida)

**  Remove  Confederate monument in Liberty Cemetery.

**  Confederate monument removed from downtown Bradenton in 2017 may be repaired, brought out of storage.  (Manatee County, Florida)

NOVEMBER 10, 2022

**  Confederate monument  in front of Mercer  Law vandalized.  (Macon, Georgia.  That's not vandalism.  It is a pure and simple case of HATE CRIME!!)

**  Potsdam  Central student disciplined for bringing Confederate flag to school.  (New York.  As long as students will also get in trouble for BLM items.)

**********************************

NOVEMBER 11, 2022

**  82 schools have removed their racist namesakes since 2020.  Dozens now honor people of color.  (Sounds like a SPLC list to me.  At least none to my knowledge have been renamed to honor George Floyd, a man with no honor.  Also, can you get in trouble for referring to people of color?)

Wearing a Confederate Uniform Is Definitely Not a Crime Even If It Offends Certain Folks

AUGUST 28, 2022

**  It is unbelievable how many articles are out there about Doug Mastriano who is running for Pennsylvania governor and in the past wore a Confederate uniform.  Big whoop.  What's so bad about that?

**  Some Pennsylvania Republicans defend Mastriano for posing in Confederate uniform.  (So who is going to be offended?  WWMs, BLMers, NAACPers and SPLCers.)

**  The photo in question was taken in 2013-2014 and others were also in battle clothes from different eras.

**************************

AUGUST 29, 2022

**  Mayor speaks about racist letters spread in Enfield just days  after Confederate monument bulldozed.  (North Carolina.  What the mayor had done to the monument was nothing short of racism.)

**   Military commission recommends dropping Confederate names at West Point.

AUGUST 13, 2022

**  Confederate flag is gone, but new Burlington residents who felt threatened are unhappy with city's response.  (Gosh.  How horrible.)

**  Five years of  steady progress  since 'Unite the Right' rally.  (SPLC.  And that includes all the businesses and stores destroyed by the BLMers in 2020.)

**   7 Civil War streamers modern-day US Army units will be forced to remove.

*********************************

AUGUST 14, 2022

**  Luke Combs apologizes for Confederate flag use:  'I am now aware of how painful that image can be'.  (He is a country performer and had a you-know-what flag in a 2015 video.  Now Blacks can feel safe going to one of his concerts.)

**  Fort Jackson has  more Confederate names  than all but three military bases.  (South Carolina.  Streets named for Confederates.  It is named for Andrew Jackson, not Stonewall Jackson, but not on the army's "Hit List" but as you know, he owned slaves, so....)

JULY 8, 2022

**  An epic new ad  from Republicans explains why  Confederate flags are  shameful and treasonous.  (Upworthy)

*************************

July 5, 2022

**  No controversies  in this year's Redman Fourth of July parade.  (Oregon.  Last year there was a Confederate flag controversy.  This year, NO flags other than U.S. and U.S. military were allowed.)

The way I look at it is that if we can't fly our flag, then they shouldn't be able to fly theirs:  Pride and BLM.

Even a Stephen Foster Statue? Lee Statue, No Confederate Flags or Others, CMA

JUNE 30, 2022

**  Why the decommissioned Stephen Foster statue is going to Los Angeles.  (Pittsburgh.  Had a black man playing a banjo at his feet.  Oh, well,)

**  JSAAHC weighs in on Lee statue lawsuit.  (Jefferson School African-American Heritage Center in Charlottesville,Virginia.  They want to "modify" it.  They shouldn't have gotten it in the first place.)

**************************

JULY 1, 2022

**  Only American  flags, U.S. military symbols in Redmond 4th of July parade.  (Oregon.  That means no Confederate , pride, BLM or MAGA allowed.  That's fair enough.  If we can't have our flag, they can't have theirs.)

**  CMA  Fest bans Confederate flag imagery at  country music fest.  (I wonder of that also applies to the other groups mention in the above headline?  So CMA goes the way of NASCAR.)

**  Stagecoach festival bans  Confederate flag displays in camping areas.  (California)

**  SPLC wants  Stone Mountain Pak to  revoke for permit for this weekend's Confederate rally.  (Georgia.  Now that really surprises me.  Could this be considered a racist stand?  Was SPLC against the BLM rallies in 2020 that ended up with rioting, looting and arson?)

**  Confederate flag outside Ontario house raises concerns about hate symbols.  (Canada.  I will tell you, one definite hate symbol id anything with BLM on it.)

**  Two Bell  commissioner candidates want  Confederate statue removed.  (Texas)

**  CAIR  calls for removal of  Confederate monument, flag from Arkansas courthouse.  (Council On American-Islamic Relations.  I have to wonder how they feel about Christian churches in Islamic countries?  Or, terrorism for that matter.)

**  Online petition seeks to make London  the latest Ontario community to ban Confederate flags.   (Canada.  Banned in Collingwood.  Are the BLM flags also banned.  To me that means hate, burning and looting.)

**  South Fulton mayor to propose changing  street named after Confederate general.  (Georgia.  Stonewall Tel Rd.   The mayor is Black and guess what?  He wants it renamed after another black person.  There are also other Stonewall Tell places in town, including a school.  I couldn't find out what Stonewall Tell actually stood for because the Confederate general in question had the name and nickname Stonewall Jackson.  So not sure what the Tell was all about.)

**  Murdo  Fraser criticized for  Confederate flag attack in Scottish Greens,  (Scotland)

**  Time capsule  meant for Confederate temple unearthed in Virginia.  (Sad R.  Temple?)

Confederate Flags in Canada, Time Capsules, Austin and the N.C. State Alma Mater Song

FEBRUARY 19, 2022

**  Black drivers who saw this Confederate flag in London, Ontario, have a message for homeowner.  (Canada.  Yet, we have to look at BLM signs, flags, tee shirts all over the place.  That offends me.  But, I don't count because I'm white.  Everybody knows only Blacks can be offended these days.)

**  Workers find a  box under Jefferson Davis Confederate monument.  (Sad R.)

**  Austin's Confederate Avenue will be renamed.  (Texas)

**  NC State removes  Confederate term Dixie from  alma mater song.  (Gosh.  The offending words were "Where the winds of Dixie softly blow o'er the fields of  Caroline."  At least they didn't say cotton (you know, slaves picking it).  Maybe change it to the "winds of BLM or George Floyd.")

The Second Civil War: Virginia, Texas, Tennessee and Alabama

FEBRUARY 11, 2022

**  Virginia ranks  No. 1 in removing Confederate symbols, monuments in 2021, Southern Poverty Law Center.  (Yep, they made another list.  We call them the Lost People.  But, they won't make up a list of all the damage and destruction BLM did back in 2020.   Very racist of them, don't you think?)

The Second Civil War: Is a Confederate Flag Like a BLM Sign? Minnesota, Alabama, Bruce Lee, and Jacksonville

OCTOBER 6, 2021

**  Student suspended for five days  for flying Confederate flag past protesters.  (Mapleton, Minnesota)  It all started with a BLM sign at a football game and resulted in a protest.  So, BLM stuff is okay, but not Confederate.  Seems a bit biased to me.)

Personally, anytime I see anything BLM, I only think of the rioting, arson and looting that so many BLM events sank to last year. However, I must give the group credit because they haven't been doing that this year.  So, thanks, BLM.

**  'Meltdown in Dixie' coming to SCETV:  explores Confederate flag dispute.

The Second Civil War: There SPLC Goes Again, making Those Confederate Hit Lists

SEPTEMBER 28, 2021

**  Five Missouri schools have Confederate names, some want to that to change.  (Our good ol' SPLC boys are at it again making their famed "Lists" of names and things they don't like because they are Confederate and thus racist.  Of course, I've always thought that hating any and all things Confederate is a bit racist in itself since Confederates were white people.

Still waiting for that lost of towns and cities where looting and burning took place last year by BLM as well as damage done.  But, kind of doubt it will ever be made as it makes their side look kind of bad.

The five Missouri schools and location:

Breckenridge  Elementary in Breckenridge

Breckenridge High in Breckenridge

MuCullough Elementary in Republic

Price Elementary in Republic

Jackson Park Elementary in University City

I can see a further problem with the two schools in Breckenridge, Missouri.  Can you?

SPLC also says there are Confederate-named schools in  Minnesota (3) California (2) and Washington (1).
