OMG! They played "Dixie"? Get out the smelling salts and fainting couches someone must have had the vapors. Was anyone offended? I certainly hope so. You isis/antifa types may think you can erase history but you can't. FOAD!

They’re not going to need reenactments much longer if the anarchists keep this up.

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.There's a reason my tagline is an Orwell quote...

The night that Lee surrendered, Lincoln gave a short speech at the White House. He then ordered the band to play “Dixie”. It was his favorite song.
I suppose Lincoln will be a target in the future if he hasn’t been already.

receiving a letter threatening "bodily harm" to anyone who participated. Pretty amusing, threatening people who are all carrying rifles (with fixed bayonets), many with sidearms.
Sure, they're all shooting blanks now, but that can change with one reload.

The over reaction to Confederate flags by Nikki Haley in SC is what started this.

Blanks can kill at close range. Remember some actor offed himself by accident playing with a blank firing pistol several years back.

A statue of Lincoln was defaced in Chicago.

If liberals went after muzzies after 9/11 and Orlando and that office in CA the way liberals have gone after our cultural heritage because some nut was photographed wearing a T-shirt with a Confederate flag then shot up a church, we’d never have to deal with muzzies in the US again. But, we can’t be hurting their feelings now, can we? Plus it’s hate speech even to bring it up.

A lot of us verabalized a while a go that this would be next. Interestingly, regarding re-enactments, all they are doing is an orwellian erasing of history.
Next they’ll want to ban the movie, “Gettysburg” and then the PBS Civil War documentaries.
Children. That is all they are. Ignorant, petulant, children. They get away with only what we let them get away with.

Thought I read that in the UK last year they arrested over 3,000 “subjects” for making offensive remarks on social media. Yeah, sounds right.

The American Left’s really gone off the rails these past two years. You think about all their hysteria over Civil War statues or transgender nonsense, all of it is a recent phenomenon with them.

A bunch of whiny crybabies kicking their heels on the floor. When we did that at home, mom just stepped over us and went about her business. These guys are simply overdoing their tantrums. I have a piece of lath about 20 inches long. I raised two boys with it. I called it my "magic wand." My sons called it "The Board of Education," and even wrote it on the stick.
Man. We'd need a 2X12 for this bunch...

But since they moved the flag, it hasn’t killed again. /sarcasm

We wanted to send a message, said Keith MacGregor, 56, from Lebanon, Pa.’
I have participated in a number of Cedar Creek reenactments with an outfit from Lebanon, probably the same one this guy is from...a uniquely lovely setting, in the shadow of the Blue Ridge mountains; we generally had a predawn tactical, and I remember how mesmerizing the sound of ‘troops’ rustling through the high grasses was, with the tin cups clinking, and the leathers creaking, and the absence of any other modern sounds...

My great grandfather fought for the union in this battle. Mr. Mercat and I were there 17 years ago. General Sheridan road up on his big black horse and told us the best place to stand. It was awesome!
