Branson, that family friendly destination for millions of Americans, may just be the next target of Leftist Antifa rage.
Dolly Parton, owner of a popular dinner theater called The Dixie Stampede has drawn the attention of Slate.com‘s Aisha Harris, who has taken issue with the themed dinner theater:
Advertised as an “extraordinary dinner show … pitting North against South in a friendly and fun rivalry,” Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede is the Lost Cause of the Confederacy meets Cirque du Soleil. It’s a lily-white kitsch extravaganza that play-acts the Civil War but never once mentions slavery. Instead, it romanticizes the old South, with generous portions of both corn on the cob and Southern belles festooned in Christmas lights. At its sister staging in Branson, Missouri (the original is up the road from Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee), it’s put on at a venue that can only be described as resembling a plantation mansion. Also, everyone in the audience must pick a side.

ChicksOnTheRight had a breakdown of the criticism of this family tourist attraction, brought on by this leftist reporter:
Anyway, this is SOME of what she wrote:
“It’s a lily-white kitsch extravaganza that play-acts the Civil War but never once mentions slavery. Instead, it romanticizes the old South, with generous portions of both corn on the cob and Southern belles festooned in Christmas lights.

Also, everyone in the audience must pick a side.”
She then goes on to talk about how her family escaped the outright racism of the South and how much she hates, but that she has to watch the show twice (once from each side) for JOURNALISM. Wow… so brave

“While the show makes zero mention of slavery, that’s not to say there were no references to the Civil War. The war was alluded to both in the overarching North-versus-South conceit and through details both subtle (the gray and blue color schemes on each side) and blatant: The racing piglets were named after Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, and Scarlett O’Hara. Dolly says that the show is about bringing back “those good old times,” referring to her childhood, but of course she wasn’t around during the days of Grant and Lee.”
The Left won’t stop until they dismantle every aspect of American history and culture.
Sad!
