Well is this don't take the cake for political correctness gone awry. The Ulster County Executive canceled this band from playing at the Ulster County Fair because their name might offend some people. 0.2% of the population of Ulster County singed a petition that made this happen. Yes, 0.2% of the population. Now there is another petition supporting the band. I signed it along with over 1,000 other people.

Sign the Petition

I signed, but...

I have no problem with the display of the confederate flag. I do not celebrate or glorify the confederacy, mostly because they were a bunch of frustrated democrats who lost, and I don't celebrate or glorify losers.

It would be funny if the band offered to change their name to Confederate Underground Railroad and replace the Stars & Bars with a picture of Harriet Tubman. The angry libs wouldn't know what to do.

Pat Ryan is an antigun zealot and hard left moonbat.

I think this could be an election issue that hurts him , but it is Ulster /moon bat central.

 

[gunpoliticsny]

There is no organized opposition to him, certainly not from any gun group.

I work and spend a lot of time in Ulster County. The more rural areas especially in the western part of the County are mostly conservative/pro-gun. However, the demographics are changing. More and more cidiots are moving up and buying houses here and registering to vote and bringing their political values with them. Ulster is now firmly a "blue" county and will get only bluer as time goes on. In another decade it might as well be Westchester-North.

So far over 2,750 people signed the petition in support of the band. Only 548 are opposed to the band.
