“Cancel Culture” is a road to nowhere and nothingness. It is the antithesis of life." Ron Maxwell

 

The writer is a filmmaker whose work includes “Gettysburg,” “Gods and Generals” and “Copperhead.”

While discharging his responsibilities as county lieutenant and justice of the peace, Lord Thomas Fairfax and his fellow Virginians were at the center of a momentous global conflict. France and Great Britain were facing each other along the entire length of the Allegheny Mountains, from the Blue Ridge in the south to the Adirondacks in the north. The French, the English and the Indigenous Peoples were armed to the teeth, fighting to the death for the land they claimed as their own.

As the record shows in military reports and in copious correspondence between Lord Fairfax, Gov. Dinwiddie, members of the House of Burgesses, Gen. George Braddock and Maj. George Washington, Thomas Fairfax was completely and desperately engaged with his fellow Virginians in the defense of the colony. He was an essential participant in the foundation and defense of the Old Dominion when confronted by nothing less than an existential crisis.

    Wokeness is parasitic. It only destroys. Show me where wokeness created anything like the beauty of a Masters Painting, Cathedral, or any technology.

    They are anti-God, anti-Liberty; anti-Truth, anti-Beauty.

    They are like Smaug the Dragon, stealing and coveting the works of others. It will take brave men to attack their weakness, hole in the armor, and remove them from power before they destroy everything.
