The culprits should be shot at dawn.
We find it completely unacceptable that
the flags that have flown in honor and sacred memory of Robert E. Lee
since 1930 were stripped from this chamber, for NO OTHER REASON than to
cater to the extortion-like "demands" of a half dozen students.
Once again, we want to thank each and every one of you who have made phone calls, sent emails, and mailed letters since we first forwarded the contact information last week. We understand from our sources that phones were tied up and emails were filled with messages voicing disgust and outrage with the actions of officials at Washington & LEE University.

Please
contact these folks and let them know that the removal of the flags
from the chamber of the Lee Chapel was unacceptable and must be
corrected immediately. These contacts are particularly important to
share with anyone who is an alumnus or has alumni contacts. We must let
them know we will stand united and end ALL support until the flags are
returned.
If,
for some reason, you have yet to contact the President and staff, we
have included the original contact request information at the bottom of
this email.
Many of you have asked
repeatedly about when we are going
to "March on Washington & Lee" and start flagging them. Most
people see this outward expression of what we do, and may not realize
that
it is a powerful tool, but one that is typically held in our arsenal
and used when all other efforts are exhausted. We contacted the
W&L administration in April, when news of "The Committee's" demands
first surfaced, and have been collecting information and investigating
the situation ever since.
Of course, the actual removal last week has kicked our efforts into overdrive. We have contacted W&L officials again, and our next communication will let them know that if the flags are not returned by our deadline, flaggings will begin. In the meantime, we are making trips to Lexington to scout the area, investigate all pertinent laws and regulations, and preparing literature and talking points so that our Flaggers, and those who join us, have everything needed to be successful. We never step onto the sidewalk until we have covered all of our bases and have all needed resources lined up and available. Everything from parking, to bathroom accessibility is covered.
While we expect to begin scheduling flaggings within the next few weeks, IF the flags are not returned, our main push will come in September, once students are back on campus. We realize full well that the announcement of the flag removal in July, while students were on summer break, was very much by design. We have been contacted by and are in communication with students who are ready to join us in these protests, and whose presence will be a huge boost to our efforts. Student move-in dates, Parents' weekends, home football games, and other high profile events will be the targets of our activity. We are organizing now and are looking for anyone who is willing to join us, especially those in the Lexington area, to contact us for more details.

University officials are deleting any and all comments about the flags from their FaceBook page, but you can leave a "rating" here: https://www.facebook.com/
And it appears that comments are allowed and posted on their blog site:

Stay tuned for more updates and information, as we have much more to share... and please continue to forward these emails to everyone on your contact list. We must keep the skeer on through phone calls, emails, and letters...and have flags ready for the call...it's coming soon!
RETURN the flags!
RESTORE the honor!

The criminals have taken the Lee our of Washington & Lee. You are right. They (especially the President) should be shot. Or perhaps their family? (Like many of ours, who died for the cause of liberty.) Then have to bear the sight of their gravesides being vandalized by blacks and low-life's. They will NOT get away with this. Surely there are still a few good Virginians left. They never should have been 'given' their positions. Proper vetting did NOT take place!
ReplyDeleteCommies are insidious creatures.
DeleteI have to disagree. I strongly advise against shooting them; to waste so much a a single round of even military surplus ammo, would give them a dignity they do not deserve. However, I am not without an alternative...a public hanging at noon. Then place the bodies at the bottom of a very deep shaft in the ground. As I understand it there are places that still have outhouses, this one can be a public one

DeleteThat would work. :)
Shooting them is too good! They should be hung. Like the common criminals they are.
ReplyDeleteDidn't realize until just now, when a commenter mentioned on another thread, that the head dorkhead is from New Jersey. That was the first mistake.
DeleteQuestion: When was the last time ANY THING good came out of New Jersey? I am at a lost to think of a single thing, except for toxic waste dumps, but they had to go some where..
