The candy-assed powers that be that run Amazon recently banned a book called This Flag Never Comes Down by Michael Dreese, about the Confederate Battle Flag. The only reason for the ban was just because of it's cover and subject matter. Apparently Mein Kampf, The Communist Manifesto, The Koran, and Che Guevara's biography are all just fine but a book about the civil war is VERBOTEN!
While it's not exactly burning books and yes, Amazon is a privately owned business, this still comes from the same small minded and evil stupidity that infected Europe in the 1930s. Until they stop this nonsense of banning books which accurately use the Confederate Battle Flag in it's correct historical context, I won't be buying from them. The acquisition of cheap material goods is not as important to me as standing against cultural fascism. I will however order it from the publisher Thomas Publications, it's only $12.95. I'll feel better about giving my money to a small publisher than an evil corporation. Support your local bookstore or shop elsewhere online!
