Washington National Cathedral To Remove Small Confederate Flag From Stained Glass Window

[AuH20]

Nazi freaking Germany. This is insane. It's a little piece of glass that will be cost prohibitive to remove.

Given the nature of the cathedral space, Hall said, a change in the windows will take “time, energy and money.” In the interim, he said, a display will be placed near the windows “to explain them in their historical context.”

“We will gather a representative group to work with us to imagine how new windows can best represent our shared history of war and peace, racial division and reconciliation,” he said. “We will also discuss the future of the Jackson and Lee windows.”

Silverman, who visited the cathedral a few years ago during a trip to Washington, said he noticed the red and blue panels that featured the Confederate flags and thought it was “really odd” that the cathedral included them.

Just wait til they scrub the founders from Mt.Rushmore.

Tyrants who want certain parts of history eradicated with no trace left at all are bound and determined that we not learn from history so we will be doomed to repeat it.

How about removing the only statue of a Civil War Confederate general from D.C.?

This month will be known historically as, "The Great Rebel Purge".

[Christian Liberty]

So, they want to remove a Confederate flag from what is likely an actual violation of the 2nd commandment :p

Indeed. The more this issue is being pushed in such a hysterical fashion the more it reeks to high heaven as to exactly why there seems to be a purge. Me thinks they doth protest too much...

Pike?
That's the one. The Freemasons will be just thrilled. :rolleyes:

This image taken by the Moscow Canal was taken when Nikolai Yezhov was water commissar. After he fell from power, he was arrested, shot, and his image removed by the censors.

[...]

In 1935 [Yezhov] wrote a paper in which he argued that political opposition must eventually lead to violence and terrorism; this became in part the ideological basis of the Purges. He became People's Commissar for Internal Affairs (head of the NKVD) and a member of the Presidium Central Executive Committee on September 26, 1936. Under Yezhov, the purges reached their height, with roughly half of the Soviet political and military establishment being imprisoned or shot, along with hundreds of thousands of others, suspected of disloyalty or "wrecking." Yezhov himself fell out of Stalin's favour and on April 10, 1939, he was arrested. On February 4, 1940, he was executed.

One of them gets to stay. How hard would it be to turn Washington into Marx?

Your new "Founders". Worship them, or go to the gulag, comrade.

Yezhov was called the "bloody dwarf", and with good reason. He has to have been one of the most singularly murderous people in all human history. He was so bad that it made Stalin wince, and that is really saying something. So uncle Joe had him shot. When the papers went to Stalin for signature after conviction of a political prisoner, Yezhov would scrawl across the paper "maximum punishment" after the fact. The blood on that monster's hands can barely be overstated.

Back in those days, under Stalin, this was a par for the course.

Duckies --- they've gone French like as if the year is 1792 and yes, Id Software's WOLFENSTEIN 3-D and or otherwise, they've gone
overboard precisely becuz of NAZI FRIGGIN GERMANY and the THIRD REICH and ALL THOSE BOOKBURNINGS AND DEAD DISSIDENTS.

[Aratus]

PRECISELY BECUZ DYLANN ROOF NETSURFED ONTO A SLEW OF RATHER ARROGANT NEO-NAZI HATE*SITES THEY NOW ARE

A wacked out pill popping weirdo is going to get his wish. Why is it we always give terrorists what it is they wish? Bin Laden wanted to bankrupt America through foreign wars and domestic spying. This wacko wanted a race war. They step up, tell you what it is they want, and then it is served to them on a silver platter. SMDH. Mark m words this pushing has led to shove and at some point there will be repercussions from the other side. This. Shit. Is. Getting. Real. Real quick.

I went to Walmart today and there was a guy crusing the parking lot with a huge confederate flag that said Heritage Not Hate on it and he was blaring this Hank Jr tune.

When I went to find a tube of this song a warning popped up.:rolleyes:

I figure a small tack hammer could easily do the job. Then just cover up the hole with a piece of duct tape. LOL!

[Pericles]

This is going to be a great case study for diversity training and tolerance - I'm sure the SPLC is working on it now.

They should just use the tape, so if they later come to their senses, they can restore it easier.

LOL, or they could just put a little American flag sticker over it.

Interesting to note that one of the deadly Stalinist crimes he confessed to, that supposedly was true, was homosexuality.
