‘Militant Anarchist Movement’Â
Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller is warning against the removal of Confederate monuments and flags after amusement park operator Six Flags removed Confederate flags at three of its properties in the South. bMiller, who served as the co-chair of candidate Donald Trump’s agriculture advisory board, last August called for the atomic bombing of “the Muslim world,” suggesting it was the only way to make peace in the Middle East.
As Raw Story reports, in a statement “regarding the decision by Six Flag over Texas to Remove Historic Flags” posted to his Facebook page Miller said he is “very concerned about the militant, anarchist movement sweeping our country, destroying and attempting to sanitize our nation’s history.”
“The monuments honoring our southern soldiers are but a first step in a trend that very well could eventually bring down the American flag at some point if this trend is allowed to continue.”
Six Flags, a publicly-held $1.3 billion corporation that operates 20 amusement parks in North America and is based in Texas, will be surprised to hear they are part of “the militant, anarchist movement.”
Miller blames “fear of what a band of socialistic fear mongers might say” for the decision.
He says he “was extremely disappointed to hear that Six Flags over Texas in Arlington had succumb to this scourge of race baiting, liberal activism and that the company had decided to bring down the six historic flags that flew over Texas over her long and colorful history and replace them with just one—the United States Flag—which one day these same antagonists will argue has its own tarnished history.”
Six Flags is actually removing the last three Confederate flags it flies, in two Texas parks and in one in Georgia.
Miller, who has compared Syrian refugees to venomous rattlesnakes, calls Confederate flags – which are symbols of racism, slavery, and represent the losers of the Civil War – “important symbols of Texas history.”
Days before the November election Miller first claimed his Twitter account was hacked, then blamed a post calling Hillary Clinton a “c*nt” on a staffer.
Last year Miller was under investigation for out-of-state taxpayer-paid trips, including one to a Mississippi rodeo, and one to receive a “Jesus Shot” in Oklahoma. He was not charged. The Texas Tribune explained that some believe a “Jesus shot” “cures all pain for life.”
