Sami R 04 Review of Dixie Stampede
Good time. Good service. Good food.
Good time. Good service. Good food.
But here is why it gets 3 stars...
The show, up until a couple of months ago, was called "Dixie Stampede" but now it is "Dolly Parton's Stampede". Now the whole show is based on north vs south.But how can you have that without a confederate flag. That flag represants the south in the civil war. It is simply a piece of American history. But yet not once do u see a confederate flag in the show. As a matter of fact there was nothing in the whole gift shop with a confederate flag in it. Now Dolly Parton of course switched it not to offend anyone with the name "Dixie" or the confederate flag.
Now heres a little history lesson for you.
Dixie is simply a nick name for the southern territories of the country. Now the civil war is history. It happened over 150 years. But yet "Dixie" is still the Southern territories. It does not represent racism or rebelion or even the people of the South, it is simply the southern part of the USA, Which means the land in general. Such as Shenandoah and the beautiful, grassy lands of the south .So if you get offended by the name "Dixie" just remember that you are beign offended by BEAUTIFUL FIELDS OF GRASS AND RIVERS OF CLEAR BLUE WATER. Now for the flag...
The Confederate flag was simply the banner of the southern troops of the 1860's. That was 150 years ago. Now we are united. Now not all Americans agree on everything but we are all still Americans. So i look at it like this. Long ago America had a war with England. But thats history. We have now been allies with England for a long time. So should we as Americans be offended by the flag of England? NO! That would be rediculous. So how is the situation with the confederate flag much different? I am very disappointed that Dolly Parton is giving into political correctness and that is the only reason why i give it 3 stars instead of 5.
Other than that it really is a wonderfull time and i did enjoy it and i reccomend it.
