The Second Civil War: That Stink in Florida and Arlington National Cemetery

APRIL 15, 2023

**  Collier teacher under investigation for showing 'Confederate History Month' video to school.  (Naples, Florida.  It is so sad when you can't teach history without being the official "woke" agenda.  A whole lot of articles about this.  Confederate Heritage Month is still a Florida holiday.)

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

APRIL 17, 2023

Let Those Who Want Monuments Gone Pay for Them

MAY 6th, 2022

**  St. Landry Parish Confederate monument could be removed for free, or at least low cost.   (Louisiana.  I hate to see these contractors making so much money removing Confederate monuments, so this would be a good one.  But, I still say that all costs for removal, storage and relocation should be paid by those who want them removed.  No public money should be used.)

**  Why historians think  Cinco de Mayo   prevented the Confederacy's win in the Civil War.  (Hey, a real Civil War piece here.)

**  Black Tennessee mayor declared April Confederate History Month.  (Livingston, Tennessee mayor  Curtis Hayes.  Think I'll move there and vote for him.  Finally a black politician who is not racist.)

**  Ruining Confederate  Memorial Day:  A Report back from Stone Mountain.  (From It's Going Down.  This is the black racist account of what took place at Sone Mountain.  Clearly shows the goals of the other side.)

SPLC's Billboards. Giant Confederate Flag? Baltimore, United Kingdom and Joe

MAY 15, 2021

**  Losing the 'Lost Cause':  SPLC launches  billboard campaign to educate  communities on false narrative behind Confederate History Month.  (Could you expect less from them?  Still waiting for your LIST on BLM demonstrations that became riots last year from these guys.  Beginning to think that's not going to happen.)

It's a Road Thing Now As Well and, Finally Two Groups Willing to Stand Up Against This New Tyranny

February 26, 2020

** Magruder Boulevard, named after a Confederate general to be renamed  for Neil Armstrong.

**  Parts of Florida Highway honoring the Confederacy will be renamed in honor of Harriet Tubman.  How about renaming those parts Founding Fathers' Way or Greatest Generation?  Surely, they are deserving as well.

**  Confederate flags will be allowed at Arkansas cemetery despite protests.  (Probably just "one" person didn't like the Confederate flags.  But today, these "ones" sure have a lot of clout.  Governmental bodies bow to their every whim.

**  No commotion as county passes Confederate History Month measure.  (Texas--  Well if certain folks can have a History Month, others should also have a month to honor their ancestors as well.  Finally, a group of people with a backbone willing to stand up against the haters.)

**  Letter to Editor:  Letter writer misses mark on meaning of Confederate monuments.

Welcome to the Tyranny.  --Old Secesh

You know, if the other side's idiot squad (the ones upset about the money) hadn't pulled down Silent Sam, this wouldn't be an issue.
