Nash Farm Battlefield Museum closing... Confederate flags might hurt somebody's feelings!!

Well I would still argue the point of staying and putting up a fight vs just bailing out and moving away.

You might as well try to hold back the tide. All the facts and figures are there. I don't believe that a lot of people understand the scale of the invasion.
I'm not going anywhere. But I'm also aware that this is a no winner. Soon it will get to the point where we don't even have enough voices to be heard in the dark

The only thing that will turn this country around from oblivion is a global economic collapse which kicks of another American civil war that ends with the elimination of the socialist/communists/liberal agenda focusing especially the milliennial generation. It will hurt and be bloddy but emergency surgery always is.

Couple comments....

Gwinnett went for Clinton too.

This lady should avoid Gettysburg. I visited about 10 years ago....truthfully it may have now changed....and never saw so many Stars and Bars in my life. Hundreds of flag poles alternating with the 2 flags. But like I said it may have all changed after 8 years of Obama.

Douglas County is gone as well. It is becoming an extension of the West End ****hole. They can all live here together. The free money will run out eventually. Sold 1 of 2 properties here last week. Trying to get out before they extend Marta. I say let them have it. Carroll County will be next. Headed to East Alabama as soon as we can.

Actually, what's happening, is a lot of people are getting pissed off at what's happening in their county and moving down here.

They get here and realize we don't have a Walmart, fast food restaurants, etc.. on the next corner, and start lobbying for things to make it more like where they left.

Not saying that's you jeffk14 (wouldn't expect an ODT member to be), but the vast majority of transplants seem to turn out to be that way...

We've got a new fast food restaurant going in, nice new gas stations popping up.... it sucks.

Back when I grew up there we had Ruth's, DQ, or Big Chic. Oh, and that trailer/restaurant beside Flash Foods.

I've heard they every year since I was old enough to know what Clayton County was.

Fact of the matter is Georgia and its counties are always going to be changing. But instead of packing up and giving up we need people to stay and fight for whats right. When you give up and move out your giving them what they want.

I get what you're saying dennis but Henry has never really been home for me. I'm an "implant", as they say. I moved here 25 years ago for work. Kids are grown, gone and out of state and I have no family here so there's nothing here for me to stay for.

Welcome to pike.....still country down here but like everywhere things are changing.
It's not unusual to walk into a general store and see three out of four residents carrying and the store owners 12 gage behind the counter.
As I am typing this my neighbor is out practicing with his 9mm. What a great county.

Do not say that. I am hoping our longer commute from Atlanta will keep riff raff out. I am not ready to move. I need 15 more years, for kids get into college, and then I will look around. No family in the area, just me and kids. TN mountains, maybe. Who know what it will be like in 15 years.
Unless our economy collapses and MARTA stops running. Then we will have bigger problems... And my gut tell me Scenario#2 is more likely than Scenario#1

Henry County is headed toward becoming what Clayton County is now-- a turd world refugee camp.

But, if that's what the majority of the people there want, and that mindset is what their duly-elected County representatives have also, so be it. It may be time to take this museum / historical destination fully private.
Refuse government money and put on your own presentation the way you see fit.
You don't have to cater to "offended" minorities. You won't be able to exclude them as guests (customers), but you sure don't have to let them tell you what kind of history they want to see or want you to censor.
