THANK YOU!!

PTANGO, your comments are too extreme, and equally violent as well. History and it's artifacts are to be learned from, not "burned". The conquering of the Americas contained many positive world advancing events, and many negative, and many in-between. Welcome to planet Earth. The first Americans, who largely migrated from Mongolia, and who many idealize, also had many desirable, and many undesirable qualities, beliefs and events, including the murder of neighboring tribes, and not just "for food", as if that's all right. None were perfect. Everyone who lived then is gone, and, like it or not, history has turned the page. You certainly don't know who the "real Lincoln" was, and you (or I) would not be here today if these events had not occurred. It's time to stop the war. It's time to realize that we all live here, were born here, and most of us wish to make this a better place. However, I wish to thank you for bringing up the continued hero worshiping of Custer, who seems to have been little more than a well trained dog, and who certainly asked for his demise. Shouldn't this flag and a lot of other artifacts be on display, along with all sides of this tragic story?

Thank you for recounting the facts. We can't change it. Remember it. Learn from it and move on. I didn't think there was someone to stand up and recount the horrors of this 'fine young soldier' and his regimen. You just might have hit nerve with what to do with this 'priceless' piece of history?

It's amazing how little we in 'school'. There might have been a paragraph or two in my American history text. I thought Custer was a fallen hero protecting the new settlers. No one ever mentioned genocide? It's concievable People thought he was providing protection. Seeing the famous picture ''Trail of tears" was like finding a puzzle piece.

Thanks for getting the message out. Now, I can get chewed up too! Just put the 'damn thing' in the'Smith' and forget about.

Ptango's post and 'Round Town Girls' posts are left-wing political correctness at their most ridiculous.

The statement that "Custer murdered thousands of southern (sic) civilians is a patent lie as is assertion that " (he) slaughtered Indian old men, women, and children". The accusation of 'genocide' is laughable. The numbers of Native Americans have multiplied, not decreased during the last century and a half.

On 25 June 1876 at the Little Big Horn Native Americans murdered scores of wounded, defenseless U.S. troopers; literally butchered the bodies of the fallen; and stole everything they could get their hands on. The Native American thieves happened to miss the guidon because a trooper had protected it with his body.

They only beat General Custer because they happened to outnumber his force by 25:1. Even with such odds in their favor, the Native Americans still could not defeat General Custer's fellow officers, Reno and Benteen. As warriors, the Native Americans were both cowardly and sadistic.

When General Crook and a small contingent of reinforcements arrived after the battle, Sitting Bull and the other Native American criminals were already fleeing to Canada. General Custer and his troops had completely taken the fight out of them. The Native Americans would never again attempt to fight the U.S. Army in a major engagement, even when they again greatly outnumber the U.S. Army.

Since the 19th century Native Americans have been on welfare provided by men of European descent. Now the Native Americans, who for centuries stole women, horses, land, etc. from each other, and their leftist allies want to work a Stalinist theft of history.

The guidon symbolizes the immense sacrifices made by men of European descent to secure this country from filthy, dishonorable savages like Sitting Bull and his contingent of pathetic Native Americans.

Hence this guidon should be given a place of honor at the Smithsonian with an appropriate commentary commemorating the service of the Seventh Cavalry to the U.S.

Hey too bad the native americans didn't have a better immigration policy.
No whites allowed! Maybe we could've had a better history than greed, murder, and disgust.

I totally agree. Our history and it's "heroes" are not what we are taught. To the victors go the history books. Sadly, we ARE TAUGHT THE ROMANTIC AND QUAINT CRAP THAT MAKES US FEEL GOOD. We do not talk or read about, much less study the facts of the Boston Tea Party being a scam to make the colonists feel England was taxing them too much when the truth be told, John Hancock was a tea smuggler (a criminal act) and English tea was cheaper than his smuggled tea. How to get public support? Lie to the people and stage the tea party, of which the men dressed as indians to hide their identity. That was really brave of them! At least the lieing to the people has not changed! Another tidbit, speaking of flags: BETSY ROSS DID NOT SEW, DESIGN OR MAKE THE FLAG! That was a lie spread by her grandchildren to increase their lot in life. A design for an American flag did not come around until the 1800's.
Yes, Americans are lied to in history books and villains and dispicable people are made heroes.

WOW are you drunk or what??!! Not a passage of your blog is correct or accurate. Not sure what "sources" you have read but you could get better info from the back of a cereal package. You are sooooooooooooo out in the twilight zone that no concise corrective reply can even be fashioned.

Suffice it to say that you are wrong across the board and that you know nothing about Custer, or the battle, or his career, or the Indians, or the times, or history, or . . . the list goes on. . .

If you want to learn the facts, it will take a longtime so bring a sack lunch -- you'll be here for a while LOL
