Gettin' Ready to Hit the Sidewalk

Appointment with surgeon coming up soon. Hope he discharges me. Second knee was a lot easier. I've been walking with and without a walker since the day I got home from the hospital. When he lets me go, I'm looking forward to doing some projects around the house that will be pretty physical ... AND ... I'm really looking forward to flagging and handing out leaflets downtown in support of keeping Pensacola's Confederate Memorial in Lee Square.

I have sent several emails to Mayor Lemming-- I MEAN, Mayor Ashton Hayward and members of the city council, plus made the case for keeping the memorial as is, where is, on news report comment threads.

Now, as soon as doc turns me loose, it's time to hit the sidewalk. I will probably take my walker (with a seat added) the first time, because walking from room to room in my house isn't the same as standing for long periods. Plus I can zip-tie my flag poles to the frame to leave my hands free for handing out leaflets. But as soon as I don't need it anymore, back in the closet it goes.  I'm checking on bases for the flag poles, also for hands-free flagging.

I have typeset a few letter-sized leaflets, but there are many more in the works. Here are some samples:

    "If you want Confederate memorials removed, look at who you're aligning yourself with" - So, if we look at who else wants to keep them up, are we to assume you're aligning yourself with them?

      "if we look at who else wants to keep them up"

      That is if you believe that Neo-Nazis from New York, Wisconsin or Ohio really care about Confederate monuments.

      They do have a vested interest in keeping (what they consider) "white" history glorified. So, yeah, I do.

      They don't, though.

      If they didn't, then why the constant conspiracies and boogey-men ginned up to create an aura of white-oppression?

      There aren't any ginned up boogey-men and conspiracies to create an aura of white oppression. At least, not among Confederate heritage people. What we are dealing with is real -- reported almost daily in the news.


      Those other folks you are so preoccupied with -- neoNazis and such -- I wouldn't know about them. You're the one interested in them, not I.

    Connie, How did an Obama supporter (Kessler) become a "White Nationalist?" Something strange is going on...

      BR, Kessler isn't real high on my list of things to be concerned about right now. However, I will say -- not in his defense, necessarily, but as an observation -- some of the people making this claim about him are people I consider to be liars who have not a twinge of credibility or conscience. So for me, the jury is still out on Kessler, and may continue to be for a long time since vetting him is way, way down on my list of things to do.
