Default Washington and Lee to remove Confederate Battle Flags from its campus

Washington and Lee University has caved in to the demands of "The Committee," 14 niggers and their white hos who have a list of demands for the university. One of them was to remove all Confederate Battle Flags from campus. The other demands are still pending.

W&L will remove Confederate battle flags from Lee Chapel

By Luanne Rife [email protected]

The president of Washington and Lee University on Tuesday said in a mass email to faculty and students that the battle flags of the Confederacy will be removed from Lee Chapel and that the university will continue to study its historical involvement with slavery.

President Kenneth Ruscio issued a lengthy statement in response to a controversy that began last spring when a group of law school students called the Committee demanded that W&L stop glorifying Robert E. Lee and the Confederacy and acknowledge Lee and the university’s ownership of slaves.

“I am happy that we made some progress,” said Brandon Hicks, one of the Committee members. “Some of our concerns were met and some of them were not. We are happy with the removal of the Confederate flags from Lee Chapel and are in agreement with the placement of flags in the museum. That met our demands and is not in an area where students have to convene.”

The Committee found the flags particularly odious because students were required to pledge to an honor code in their presence.

“The purpose of historic flags in a university setting is to educate. They are not to be displayed for decoration, which would diminish their significance, or for glorification, or to make a statement about past conflicts,” Ruscio said. “The reproductions are not genuinely historic, nor are they displayed with any information or background about what they are. The absence of such explanation allows those who either ‘oppose’ or ‘support’ them to assert their own subjective and frequently incorrect interpretations.”

The reproduction battle flags will be removed, and W&L expects to display original flags, on loan from the American Civil War Museum in Richmond, at the Lee Chapel Museum on a rotating basis.

Ruscio addressed the Committee’s other demands by saying he will ask the undergraduate faculty to vote in the fall whether to cancel classes on Martin Luther King Day, though he would advise that they continue to teach and hold programs rather than sacrifice commemorating King’s life for a day off.

And, he said, W&L will continue to allow groups to use the chapel for lectures, a nod to those who organize Lee Jackson Day in Lexington during the weekend preceding MLK Day. However, they will not be permitted to “march” on campus or to use it as a platform to espouse their statements, he said.

Those modern-day issues are simpler to address than the university’s complex history. The school was founded by Scots-Irish pioneers as Augusta Academy in 1749. In a surge of patriotism, the name was changed in 1776 to Liberty Hall. It was later named to honor George Washington, who is credited with establishing its first endowment.

When Lee arrived as its president in 1865, he implemented a series of bold innovations that are credited with saving the war-battered Washington College, and upon his death the trustees changed its name to Washington and Lee.

Ruscio said the university is continuing to study its involvement with slavery and said that in 1826 it “came into possession of between 70 and 80 enslaved people from the estate of ‘Jockey’ John Robinson. Until 1852, the institution benefited from their enslaved labor and, in some cases, from their sale.”

He added that acknowledging the historical record “will require coming to terms with a part of our past that we wish had been different but that we cannot ignore.”

Ruscio said that he takes pride in Lee’s accomplishments as president of then-Washington College and will not apologize for “the crucial role he played in shaping this institution. Affection for and criticism of historical figures living in complicated times are not mutually exclusive positions, however, as scholar Joseph Ellis concluded after his study of Thomas Jefferson.”

Lee, he said, “was an imperfect individual living in imperfect times. Lee deserves, and his record can withstand, an honest appraisal by those who understand the complexities of history.”

Hicks said Ruscio’s remarks on Lee “was a whitewashed version that tried to minimize his role. It is not a statement I would have written.”

Still, he said that he is encouraged by much of what Ruscio had to say and by the conversations Committee members had with administrators prior to the end of the term in May.

The law school is planning a forum once classes get underway in the fall, Hicks said.

“I regret that the conversation seemed to begin with what divides us rather than what unites us. I hope the future is one of continued careful examination and further defining our common purpose,” Ruscio said.

Both Committee members and the W&L administrators were barraged with comments when the Committee made its demands public in the spring.

Ruscio said “misinformation and erroneous assumptions have combined with emotionally charged reactions to create more heat than light.”

Both Ruscio and Hicks said they were encouraged that the conversation will continue.

That's a damned shame, but not a surprise. If you go there and listen closely you'll probably hear Lee spinning in his grave.

Default W&L Confederate Flag controversy heating up

http://www.roanoke.com/news/virginia...004b24475.html

Make no mistake, I detest the Sons of Confederate Veterans for their love of niggers and expulsion of WNs from their ranks. Notice how their commander compares the SCV to civil rights activists. However, if Confederate Flags or other pro-White symbols can be removed from the university named partly for Robert E. Lee, they can be removed anywhere.

By Luanne Rife [email protected] 981-3209

The Lee Chapel and Museum at Washington and Lee University closed at 3 p.m. Friday and will remain shuttered throughout the weekend while a demonstration in Lexington takes place to protest the removal of Confederate battle flags from the chapel.
The announcement posted on the university’s website page for Lee Chapel states, “This unscheduled closing is based on concerns for the safety of the facility and its staff on the day that the Sons of Confederate Veterans have scheduled a rally in Lexington. We must take this unfortunate precaution because of the inflammatory and threatening letters, emails and phone calls the University has received in response to the removal of reproduction battle flags from the statue chamber in Lee Chapel and the decision to bring authentic battle flags to the Lee Chapel Museum. We apologize for this inconvenience.”
Ordinarily, the chapel is closed only on Easter Sunday, noon on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving Day through the following Saturday, and from Dec. 23 to Jan. 1.
“They are trying to paint us in a bad light,” said Brandon Dorsey, commander of the Stonewall Brigade of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. “I would like to see any threats turned over to the police.”
Dorsey’s group is planning a flag vigil and speeches starting at noon Saturday in Hopkins Green Park in downtown Lexington. An afternoon program will follow at the Holiday Inn Express to discuss what its members and supporters can do in response to the university president’s decision to remove replica battle flags from the memorial.
While no protest or gathering is planned on the campus or at the chapel, Dorsey said those from out of town would probably have visited the chapel, though not en masse.
W&L Communications Director Brian Eckert said, “No one suspects that the Sons of Confederate Veterans plans anything bad. But given the inflammatory and threatening communications we have received, we — like the Sons of Confederate Veterans — want the chapel and museum safeguarded.”
Earlier this month, W&L President Kenneth Ruscio responded to complaints lodged by a group of law school students who charged the Confederate battle flags in the chapel, where students are required to gather, were offensive to minority students.
Ruscio had the replicas removed, saying they were draped without any historical or educational context. They are being replaced with a rotating exhibit in the museum of original Confederate battle flags.
The Stonewall Brigade said removing the flags desecrates Lee’s grave, though he is actually buried beneath the chapel and not below the recumbent statue that some mistake for his crypt.
Dorsey said the last thing any members of his group would seek to do is “scratch even one tile at the chapel.” He doubts that anyone has made an actual threat against the university’s property or any person.
“I would want to see the actual threat. If one was made, then it should be turned over to the police and the person should be punished,” Dorsey said. Expressions of outrage do not rise to the level of threats, he said.
Dorsey said the statement on the Stonewall Brigade’s website explains its position.
“The last people on earth that would cause any harm at Lee Chapel would be those of us trying to oppose the University’s actual desecration of it. This is reminiscent of Mayor [Mimi] Elrod calling in the State Police SWAT team to point rifles at participants in a similar gathering in 2011 in which there was not a single incident. It is also an intimidation tactic. However, just as the Civil Rights leaders had to be harassed by the powers that be, degraded, and attacked, I think we can survive this quite well.”
The 2011 gathering was in response to the Lexington City Council’s enactment of an ordinance that bans the flying of any nongovernmental flags from city poles. The Stonewall Brigade lost a court battle to strike down the ordinance. Members can still carry flags on city sidewalks.

If Ruscio & the administration had even one shriveled ball left among them, they'd have told the "Committee" niggers & their bitches to go fuck themselves real good. Nobody forces the goddamn scum to enroll at W&L.

Did University officials admit the Confederate Army was vampires?



The civil war in US was in fact, a communist revolution, complete with fake stories of atrocities against slaves spread by communists. Carpet bagger bolsheviks, even 'yankee doodle dandies', in other words, marxist faggots, even back then.

In 1848 there were communist revolutions in many European countries, several years before it came to the US, because they had to all get here first, took a few years.

'stuck a feather in his cap and called it maccoroni'

Jews controlled the central banks even back then, and they could finance the industrial north's retooling for war, then use same old corporate bolshevik tactics. You either go work for the war factory or you're homeless. South was more rural, agricultural, self sufficient, less vulnerable to capitalist imposed bolshevism.


Quote:
As a term Doodle first appeared in the early seventeenth century,[4] and is thought to derive from the Low German dudel or dödel, meaning "fool" or "simpleton". The Macaroni wig was an extreme fashion in the 1770s and became contemporary slang for foppishness.[5] The Macaronis were young English men who adopted feminine mannerisms and highly extravagant attire, and were deemed effeminate. They were members of the Macaroni Club in London at the height of the fashion for dandyism, so called because they wore striped silks upon their return from the Grand Tour - and a feather in their hats. They also wore two fob watches: "one to tell what time it was and the other to tell what time it was not" ran their joking explanation. Their love of horse racing at Cheltenham and Bibury (in the UK) can still be recognised today in the names of the 18th Century Macaroni Farm and Macaroni Woods near Eastleach, Gloucestershire, UK. The verse implies Yankees were so unsophisticated, they thought simply sticking a feather in a cap would make them the height of fashion.[6] Peter McNeil, professor of fashion studies, claims the British were insinuating the colonists were womanish and not very masculine.[7]
Yankee_Doodle Yankee_Doodle

"Maccaronis" sure sound like......faggots?? to me.

Default Abraham Lincoln-America's Lenin

http://www.southernheritage411.com/t...ory.php?th=122

I do not believe Rush Limbaugh will ever talk about this on his show or the fact that the Communist party of the USA used to hold Lincoln-Lenin rallies. Notice Lincoln is named first, held in the highest esteem by communists.

COMMUNISTS’ EFFECT ON AMERICA
Their influence from then to now—How did it all begin? Did they leave their footprints on our nation?

Why did Lincoln and his Republicans insist on attacking the sovereign nation, the Confederate States of America? Why did Lincoln and his Republicans refuse to compromise with the South?

Perhaps the following may set you on the pathway to truth and aid you in answering both questions.

All that follows comes to us through the courtesy of Walter D. Kennedy and Al Benson, from their explosive, iconoclastic history text entitled RED REPUBLICANS AND LINCOLN’S MARXISTS: MARXISM IN THE CIVIL WAR (obtainable online at http://www.iuniverse.com/bookstore/ ). If you think what you o read here is something----“you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!” Do read the book. My impression of the contents in just one of its chapters follows.

IMPORTANT REPUBLICAN POLICY- INSTIGATORS, ‘”FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES,” --APPOINTED THERE BY ABE LINCOLN --

1. Brigadier General Joseph WEYDEMEYER of Lincoln’s army was a close friend of Karl MARX and Fredrick Engels in the London Communist League. Marx wrote Weydemeyer’s letter of introduction to Charles A. DANA—an editor of New York Times Tribune. Weydemeyer was an escapist from the Socialist/Communist Revolution. He fled to the U.S. and became very active in the just-beginning Republican Party. He supported Freeman in the Republican Party’s first election and Lincoln in its second. He was described in a Communist publication as a “PIONEER AMERICAN MARXIST.’ He wrote for and edited several radical socialist journals in the U.S. (p. 200)

2. Assistant Secretary of War Charles A. DANA ---close friend of Marx, published with Joseph Weydemyer a number of Communist Journals and, also “The Communist Manifesto,” commissioned by Karl Marx. As a member of the Communist/Socialist Fourier Society in America, Dana was well acquainted with Marx and Marx’s colleague in Communism, Fredrick Engels. Dana, also, was a friend of all Marxists in Lincoln’s Republican Party, offering assistance to them almost upon their arrival on the American continent. This happened often after receiving introductory letters from Karl MARX, himself. (p. 196).

“Prior to the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, no other American did more to promote the cause of communism in the United States than did Dana.” (p. 141). It was due to Dana’s close friendship and work with the New York Tribune editor, Horace Greeley, another dedicated socialist, that Greeley employed Marx as a correspondent/contributor to the U.S. newspaper. Dana became the first high-level communist in an American administration---which was the FIRST REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION in the United States of America.

3. Brigadier General Louis BLENKER, Lincoln’s army—radical socialist/Communist from Germany—was remarkably successful in encouraging German immigrants to join Lincoln’s army and the Republican party. He promised Lincoln that he could get “. . . thousands of Germans ready to fight for the preservation of the Union.”(p. xiv). He was a leader in the Revolution in Germany and fought in several battles there. When the Revolution failed, he went to Switzerland where, along with other Marxists, he was ordered to leave the country. His life in the U.S. was markedly grander than it had been previously—on a much higher social level. As a General, he offered a refuge to all Marxists. If unable to obtain a commission for them, he made a place for them as “aide-de-camp.” Great food, great drinks, great entertainment and servants were available for one and all obtained, largely by looting defenseless civilians. This practice was so flagrant, civilians who were looted, were considered “Blenkered.” Later, Blenker, under accusations of graft, resigned his commission. (p. 118)

4. Major General August WILLICH—often called “The Reddest of the Red ‘48ers” was a member of the London Communist League with Karl MARX and Fredrick ENGLES. (p. xiv) Before seeking refuge in the U.S. Willich was a personal acquaintance of Karl MARX. In fact, Marx referred to Willich as “A communist with a heart.” Willich was a Captain in the Prussian army when he met Karl Marx and became a Socialist/Communist. The Prussian Army court martialed Willich and kicked him out of the army. He, then, participated in the Socialist Revolution in Germany. He fled the nation when the revolt was crushed, and eventually wound up in the U.S. and became an editor of a newspaper in Cincinnati written in the German language. He raised volunteers from the Germans in his area and became their Captain. Eventually he became a general and was, actually, a competent commander. He never ceased indoctrinating his troops with the Socialism message. He did not like Lincoln’s ties with big business, but supported him, nevertheless. (p. 200) In Germany, he was involved with fellow radicals, Gustav Struve, Frederic Hecker, and Franz Siegel in presenting demands for the creation of a socialist government to the Frankfurt Parliament, and in Socialist Revolutionary efforts.

5. Major Robert ROSA, of Lincoln’s Army, was a proud member of the New York Communist Club. (p. xiv)

6. Colonel Richard HINTON, of Lincoln’s army was one of the Charterist Socialists who fled England. The British police raided several London places of known Chartist connections and discovered ammunition and weapons. Some Chartist followers were arrested and tried. Others made it to America where, as radical socialist/Communists they were supporters of Lincoln and involved in propaganda via writing for newspapers and other publications. Hinton was an associate of the terrorist, John Brown and after the war was a correspondent for a Boston newspaper. (p. 106)

7. Spy chief Allan PINKERTON, head of the Republican Ohio Department “spy service” under General George B. McClellan. Pinkerton was the most famous of the Charterists, a radical socialist group pursued by British agents. Pinkerton fled to the U.S., settled in Illinois where he became an operator of the Underground Railroad conveying escaped slaves to Canada. (Illinois citizens would not allow free blacks to live in their state.) Pinkerton was one of the big backers and among the financiers of John Brown and Brown’s fellow terrorists. Later Pinkerton served as Lincoln’s guard. Lincoln and Pinkerton became acquainted while Pinkerton was a detective for the Illinois Central Railroad, when Lincoln was its lawyer. It has been reported that Pinkerton’s inept intelligence gathering during the war was responsible for General McClellan always considering himself outnumbered by Confederates when he was not. (pp. 107-109)

8. Brigadier General Carl SCHURZ –as a young socialist, was noted for helping Gottfried Kinkel of Bonn escape from Spandau while imprisoned there for his socialist activities in the ’48 Revolts. Schurz came to America in 1848. He was a forty-eighter who became very active in the development of the Republican Party and in politics. He was given a high position by Lincoln in the Republican army. A great admirer of Karl Marx, Schurz was cognizant of Marx’s abrasive personality and made an effort to avoid imitation of that. He was an unsuccessful candidate for Lt. Governor in Wisconsin, and became a member of the Wisconsin bar in 1859. In 1860, he became he became a friend of Abraham Lincoln and a delegate to the Republican National Convention. Lincoln appointed him Minister to Spain in 1861. Schurz became a brigadier general in the Union Army in 1862, and was assigned to a command under John C. FREMONT and then under Franz SIEGEL. Schurz‘s Republican career continued under Rutherford B. Hayes who appointed him as Secretary of the Interior. It is believed that Schulz was a competent soldier. (p. 11). He, also, served as U.S. Senator from Missouri. (p. 198)

9. Brigadier General Alexander Von Schimmelfenning, like most of the other MARXISTS /Socialist/Communists who came to the U.S. after their failed uprising in 1848, fled Germany, and escaped retribution for his part in the attempted overthrow. Schimmelfenning’s history as a Socialist Revolutionary was no secret in Pittsburg when the Committee, headed by Republican J. Siebnick, recommended Schimmelfenning for Colonel of the new regiment of Pittsburgh German volunteers for Lincoln’s army. Schimmelfennig was well known in the German community because of a letter of his appearing in a well known socialist- abolitionist U.S. newspaper. Schimmelfennig recruited two former Prussian Army officers to help him recruit more Germans, especially Revolutionary Socialists. Schimmelfenning was effective as a commanding officer and became a brigadier general after Carl Schurz interceded for him by contacting the Pennsylvania congressional delegation which then lobbied Edwin M. Stanton and Stanton spoke to Lincoln. Schimmelfenning will always be remembered for hiding in a ditch under a makeshift culvert during the early part of the most pivotal battle of the war, the Battle of Gettysburg.

10. Major General Franz SIEGEL, thought to be one of Lincoln’s most controversial and the poorest of his generals, was deeply involved in the German 1848 revolts as a commander of socialist troops in the failed 1849 German Revolution. A graduate of the German Military Academy, he served in the German army and the Socialist efforts to overthrow the German government. For a brief period while the overthrow was temporarily successful, he served the new Germany as minister of war. After the fall of the revolutionary government, he fled to Switzerland and on to England, then to New York and on to St. Louis, Missouri, where he became the superintendent of the public school system. One might correctly say that when socialists gain power, “the three Rs become: Red, Radical and Revolution.” (work cited p. 112) Republican “…General Hallek stated: ‘It seems little better than murder to give important commands to men such as Siegel.’”(p. 113)

11. Commander Friedrich Karl Franz HECKER, (exact military title not known) known as “Red” and “Flagrant Friedrich.” (work cited, p. 113) Educated in Germany, received his doctor of law degree in Munich. He was expelled from Prussia. Arriving in the U.S., he took part in the creation of the Republican Party, encouraged the proliferation of German newspapers carrying the Socialist propaganda, aided in the election of Lincoln, and propagandized heavily among German immigrants for volunteers for the Republican Army. He was named Commander of a regiment he raised of Germans.

12. Captain Gustav von STRUVE was born in Germany to a woman of nobility and her Russian diplomat mate. Struve was one of the leaders, along with HECKER in the uprising in Germany in 1848. After the uprising Struve tried to succeed in a second uprising, but was arrested, found guilty of high treason, and awarded solitary confinement for five years, but was freed by fellow revolutionaries from prison, went to Switzerland where authorities there expelled him. After time in France and England, he arrived in New York with his radical wife. He became a Captain in Lincoln’s New York Infantry. Resigned his commission at the urging of Louis BLENKER and not long after, returned to Germany when a general amnesty became available.

13. General John C. FREMONT was noted for his close association with all of the socialist/communists whom Lincoln placed in positions of command in his army. Fremont was the first Republican candidate for president. He was considered to be the “darling” of the most radical socialists. His chief of staff, early in the war, was Hungarian socialist revolutionary,

14. Chief of Staff (rank not identified) Alexander ASBOTH, Socialist revolutionary born in Hungary.

15. Brevet Major General Frederick Charles SALOMON, one of a group of four radical socialist brothers, with highly similar names-- three of whom were in the group of Socialist 1848ers. Frederick began his career in Lincoln’s army as a Captain in MO, wound up as a Colonel in the Ninth Wisconsin Volunteer Regiment, then a brigadier general and a brevet major general.

16. Brevetted Brigadier General Charles E. Salomon, also started his American military career with a bunch of MO volunteers. Born in Prussia, he, also, was one of the radical socialists arriving in the U.S. after the 1848 Socialist uprising failure and was a brother to Frederick Charles.

17. Governor Edward Salomon, a third Salomon brother, also born in Prussia, did not do military service, but ran for political office in Wisconsin, was elected lieutenant governor, becoming Governor of Wisconsin when the elected Governor drowned.

18. Sergeant Herman Salomon, the fourth Salomon brother, was markedly younger than the other three Salomon, but it is thought that he, besides sharing their surname, shared their family- devotion to Communism.

19. Colonel Fritz ANNEKE/ANNECKE was a Forty-eighter, with a strong leftward tilt. He was a Communist League member and a Baden Revolt veteran. He and wife, Mathilde Franziska Anneke, were a team of European communists. Fritz was a highly skilled artillery officer in the Prussian army where his equal skill as a socialist ideologue caused him to lose his commission and to be confined in jail. He was later tried and condemned to death “in contumaciam” for his leadership in the Baden rebellion. One of Anneke’s adjutants during that rebellion was Carl Schurz. Both of the Fritzs wrote for newspapers and journals. Both were strong abolitionists and supporters of Lincoln’s Union. Colonel Fritz received and then lost his U.S. military commission due to his difficult Prussian personality. He and his wife went their own separate ways later with his wife, Mathilde starting her own school for girls, continuing to preachy the glories of socialism, joining with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony in their feminist cause—even lobbied in Washington D.C. for the feminist cause. She was a bird of the same feathers with that particular group of women because most of them were apostates from various division of the Christian religion, while she, a “free thinker” was a fallen away Catholic –converted to Communism by her husband Fritz Anneke.

20. General William Tecumseh SHERMAN. A list of “approved” socialist’ communists published by the press of the Communist Party of the United States included General Sherman’s name among other leading socialists/communists. “The editor of this communist book noted that Sherman was an “outstanding” general of the Union Army.” It should be noted that the co-founder of modern-day communism, Fredrick Engels, also saw Sherman as one of theirs. Both Gen. William Sherman and Sen. John Sherman, his brother, believed in a strong indivisible central government (p. 199) with every bit as much passion as did the announced Marxists and the still-in-the-closet Communists who, also, viewed it as a necessity for Communism (Marxism) to achieve its goal, so one can draw one’s own conclusions about the Shermans’ philosophy of government and of life.

[Although the Marxists added abolition as one of the new arrows for their bow, their true goal was not a humanitarian one, but to use slaves as a means of destroying the Christian South, which was resistant to their own religion---Communism.]

{The following is from William Tecumseh Sherman’s formal dispatches; see reference at end of quote.} “the Government of the United States has ….any and all rights which they choose to enforce in war—to take their lives, their homes, their lands, their everything….[W]ar is simply power unrestrained by Constitution . . . . To the persistent secessionist, why, death is mercy, and the quicker he or she is disposed of the better.” (p. 54). (William Sherman in official Records War of the Rebellion Vol. XXXII, pt. II, pp. 280-81].

p. 54: “There is a class of people [Southerners], men, women, and children, who must be killed or banished before you can hope for peace and order. (141; Sherman, ibid.)
