Trigger Mike Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I went to a civil war reenactment yesterday and my son wanted some of the soldiers in a tube . the seller said Safari Ltd is discontinuing their line of civil war soldiers and the confederates that he had all carried the Union flag and not the Confederate battle flag. a grey clad rebel carrying the yankee flag. just sad that history is being erased before our children can fully understand it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 If the Confederate flag is so offensive to minorities then what do the Stars & Stripes mean to the Native Americans? If I'm not mistaken it flew over Wounded Knee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wapaloosie73 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Ok...so when are we gonna tear this museum down? It and old glory celebrates the destruction and oppression of all western native Americans......right? Let’s just not have a flag, or a country. We can just all go home now.

The Stars and Stripes is also an updated version of a rebel flag flown by separatists who were considered terrorists in their day and were almost universally under a death sentence by the legal goverment of this country at the time.

MizPete Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Bought Petey a set of War of Union Agression soldiers for his 50th birthday. He quickly noticed they were all in grey. My response: surely you didn't think I was gonna pay good money for Yankees? For good or ill, it's my flag. I've said it before: regardless of politics and political correctness, I honor the honor, sacrifice, and bravery of my Confederate kin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Revisionist history. Inconvenient facts about historical events are to be ignored. Those that can't be ignored are to be villified or twisted to support the accepted storyline. It's bad enough that history has always been slanted as it was written down- the old axiom about history is written by the victor is true- but the modern PC revisionism carries it to a whole 'nother level.

I displayed very conservative bumper stickers on my vehicles in all the 23 years I lived in the LA area of CA and only got a handful of negative comments. What we have today is “PC activism” and there is no tolerance involved. off my soap box.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trigger Mike Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 my 8 year old asked me to play a war game with his new soldiers. It felt odd having a confederate soldier waving the Union flag. I guess if you can pretend they can fight then you can pretend they are holding the right flag. meanwhile my 12 year old had to write a report on a biography of someone famous and he picked Robert E Lee and the teacher approved it., but it is a private school so they may not worry about such things as much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 It sickens me that many leftists are vilifying Robert E. Lee, because he was a great man. The worst that could be said about him is that he was simply a product of his times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
