Runnig the Blockade: Another Attack on Our Heritage-- Case of the Mistaken Flag

Some New News About an Old War.


1. ANOTHER ATTACK ON OUR HERITAGE-- I see that the local NAACP group in Monroe, NC, (pop. 26,000) has taken it upon themselves to attack the local high school's mascot, "The Rebel." They are attempting to have it changed after nearly 50 years use, and you know the reason why.

Again, to me it would seem that this group has many more pressing items to address than this.

2. CASE OF THE MISTAKEN FLAG-- The June 20th Dickinson (ND)Press reported about a local man flying two flags in his yard, one a Nazi SS flag and the other which the paper called a yellow Confederate flag with the words "Don't Tread on Me."

Well, that "Tread" flag is from the American Revolution, but calling it Confederate and flying alongside a Nazi flag is enough to get some folks quite upset.

Like we need more ammunition for those who constantly attack our heritage. Please be more careful.
