    Lee Fjellanger Does Mark Donaho really think that any program funded
    by the federal government should be funded forever?

    History is what it is. From the Civil War blood shed to slavery or
    War. Ugly stains left on our country is truth. The truth should not be
    hidden or rewritten. Preserving historical events as fact is not
    intended to offend anyone. However, bringing the truth of the ugly and
    wrong to light is the best defense that it will never be repeated in
    one nation under God.

    - The Native American Scenic Byway guides visitors through four of the
    reservations of the Lakota Sioux. It encompasses many of the historic
    sites of the Lewis & Clark Expedition. The program has been eliminated
    after a 20-year run.

    - The Lewis & Clark Herbarium at the Academy of Natural Sciences of
    Drexel University houses almost all the plant specimens collected by
    Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on their journey, including many
    newly discovered species. The federal program Save America’s Treasures
    paid to rehouse the collection to modern standards.

    – Completely eliminated: The National Heritage and Scenic Byways
    program. Among many others, this ends support for the Heritage Area
    around the Knife River Village in North Dakota, where Lewis and Clark
    met Sacagawea, eliminated the chance for a National Heritage Area to
    preserve Lewis and Clark’s legacy on the West Coast, and ends support
    for scenic byways along the Lewis & Clark Trail including the Native
    American Scenic Byway in the Dakotas and the Northwest Passage Scenic
    Byway in Idaho — not to mention the Natchez Trace.

    and Donaho later added ---

    A number of Lewis & Clark sites are seriously endangered. Just to cite
    the most recent example, a high-ranking official of the National Park
    Service warned that Lewis & Clark National Park in Astoria (site of Fort Clatsop) will be forever changed if a proposed terminal for liquified
    natural gas is built just three miles away. Visitors will no longer be
    able to experience the Lower Columbia River with a sense of the beauty
    that Lewis and Clark experienced.

    m sorry ). I came across this article ...👇👇
    Consider the current state of this nation’s commitment to our own
    heritage (thanks to American Heritage magazine for their great editorial roundup of this information):

    Extra info I m affraid to post ....

    – Completely eliminated: Save America’s Treasures, the program that
    saved countless American courthouses, document collections, battleships, historic homes, Native American sites like the Acoma Pueblo, and
    artifacts like the Gettysburg Cyclorama, the Rosa Parks bus, and the Star-Spangled Banner itself.

    – Completely eliminated: Preserve America, which helped small towns and ethnic neighborhoods plan how to preserve entire areas of historic
    character, developing programs like walking tours, markers, and historic drives.

    – Completely eliminated: Teaching American History, which provides
    grants for public school teachers to undertake intensive study to better teach the American story to kids.

    – Completely eliminated: We the People, which funded teacher training, purchased classic books and art for public schools, and sponsored the National Digital Newspaper Project, a program to digitize and put online historic American newspapers from the 1880s to the 1920s.

    The elimination of federal funding for historic preservation says it all about the nation’s current level of commitment to its heritage — states are starving their historic parks and monuments with reduced hours and maintenance, and cutting back on access and preservation of historic archives. Though the battle is ongoing, budget cuts in Georgia aim to eliminate their state archives altogether, ending public access to
    hundreds of years’ worth of historical documents and artifacts.

    A number of Lewis & Clark sites are seriously endangered. Just to cite
    the most recent example, a high-ranking official of the National Park
    Service warned that Lewis & Clark National Park in Astoria (site of Fort Clatsop) will be forever changed if a proposed terminal for liquified
    natural gas is built just three miles away. Visitors will no longer be
    able to experience the Lower Columbia River with a sense of the beauty
    that Lewis and Clark experienced.

    What do we think? It’s all up to us, and we can’t count on any help from Uncle Sam this time around. If I ever saw a time when “think global, act local” applied, it is in the siege now underway on America’s historical treasures. What books will go unresearched and unwritten when archives
    are shuttered? What architectural treasures will be neglected, burned,
    or razed for short-term economic gain? Which of the post-war buildings,
    now aging themselves, will be labeled monstrosities and meet the fate of their Victorian predecessors? What sites of the Lewis & Clark Trail will
    be despoiled? What photographs will represent our era in a future Lost America? What will our children and grandchildren say about us?

    and another chimes in:

    Richard Shaner It's OK to ignore trolls who are gaslighting you....the
    article you posted is part of an important and ongoing discussion both
    in academia and in agencies like the National Park Service....do not delete.

    Richard Shaner Mark Donaho and as John Adams wrote to Thomas Jefferson,
    "I believe the core of Christianity can be expressed in five words: Be
    Just and Do Good."

    Lee Fjellanger It was Mark Donaho who clearly posted the Anti-American
    rant 'it's really cool to be alive in america at this point in history
    because it's like the collapse of the roman empire but with wi-fi' Shame
    on him to think our countries problems are "cool" to watch.

    Lee Fjellanger But Mark Donaho, what about the false statements in your original post? Are you going to recant them? You said, "A number of
    Lewis & Clark sites are seriously endangered. Just to cite the most
    recent example, a high-ranking official of the National Park Service
    warned that Lewis & Clark National Park in Astoria (site of Fort
    Clatsop) will be forever changed if a proposed terminal for liquified
    natural gas is built just three miles away." Where in the world did you
    get this claim from? It was over 4 years ago that the proposal to build
    that plant was withdrawn. Making claims that something is "most recent"
    and still pressing, when all efforts towards it ended over 4 years ago
    hurts your credibility.
