Glad I made it to Appomattox Court House for the 150th anniversary before all the Confederate reenactors are banned. Perhaps in the future the Confederates will be renamed the Red Team.

“We strive to tell the complete story of America,” said NPS Director Jonathan B. Jarvis...

No, not really.

Remembering your trip is banned. Report to your local SCOTUScare hospital for a lobotomy.

Confederate reenactors will have to change their name to something like the Eagles, Panthers or Hornets. Like a HS team.

‘Cooter’s Place’ owner from The Dukes of Hazzard said that his stores will stop selling the Confederate flag “when hell freezes over”. He made a great statement on it.

It appears the FedGov is asking all vendors on federal land to cease selling Confederate flags.

Federal government asks Pisgah Inn to stop selling Confederate flag mechandise... (Recall that this is the inn on the Blue Ridge Parkway that defied the government shutdown and forced park rangers to block off access to it)

There is a statue of General Lee that stood on private property at Antietam. The Park Service bought the farm and has said in the past that they have no plans to remove the statue (the farmer had put it there to begin with BECAUSE there were no such statues at Antietam).

I am betting the Park Service will soon announce they are removing the statue

“We strive to tell the complete story of America,” said NPS Director Jonathan B. Jarvis in a statement. “All sales items are evaluated based on educational value and their connection to the park.

The NPS store’s stuff is made in China (99% sure).

Expect big international trade fight over US Govt. banning Chinese goods.

From Wikipedia : “A fetish ... is an object believed to have supernatural powers, or in particular, a man-made object that has power over others. Essentially, fetishism is the emic attribution of inherent value or powers to an object.” That’s what we’re seeing now. A piece of fabric has become to 21st century America what a mandrake root was in medieval Europe. Anti-intellectualism is triumphing.

This is really something. There is more outrage over this symbol than savages murdering people.

The country is in a state of collective delusion.

The NPS are governmental agents of the current idiotic attitudes of the current administration. Our poor and biased education system is bearing the fruits of its labour.

In a related note, activists called on the government to stop killing black men. A government spokesman responded “This is not the time for empty gestures”.
