Southern Pride
Analysis: Twelve Memorials that Must Be Removed if Democrats Are Serious About Erasing Racism
Democrat politicians and the dominantly liberal mainstream media have a short memory…a VERY short memory. After all, the late Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) was the Sen. Majority Leader (for crying out loud), and was in the Senate up til 2010; only 7 years ago. Keep in mind that Sen. Byrd was an “exalted cyclops” of the Ku Klux Klan!! And yet NOBODY in the Democratic party OR in the liberal media said ANYTHING about that. Where was Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Chuck Schumer, the NAACP, PBS/NPR, CNN, and of course, MSNBC?!? Their silence for decades has been deafening. Talk about brazen hypocrisy!! And, that’s just for starters.. The liberal media and Democrats like to bring up the KKK, and throw out the name “David Duke” (a former Louisiana state legislator and former leader of one of the many Klan organizations in the U.S.) as some sort of talking point. It’s totally scripted, and phony. For those who may not know.. Started in 1865 after the Civil War, the membership of the KKK was almost exclusively Democrats for the first ONE HUNDRED YEARS of it’s existence! That’s a very inconvenient FACT that the left doesn’t want you to know. Anyway, to read the rest of this outstanding op/ed by AWR Hawkins, click on the text above.
Memphis activists target Confederate monuments after failed attempt to dig up general’s grave
Good for them! The Sons of Confederate Veterans are exactly right. This effort by these so-called “social justice” bullies and thugs to erase history, is nothing short of historical terrorism; exactly the same thing that ISIS and other terrorist organizations in the middle east where they are tearing down statues of Buddha or blowing up Christian churches. It’s the same thing. No difference. If you want to support the Sons, and their efforts to preserve out history, here is their web site: http://www.scv.org/new/
Lawmakers in Alabama approve protections for confederate monuments
How great is this?!? It’s about time one of these southern states said, “enough is enough” of this wave of political correctness trying to wipe away history. The Civil War happened. To those who have an issue with that…get over it. And, there are many in the south who have ancestors who fought on the side of the Confederacy….and are proud of those ancestors. Again, to those who have a problem with that…get over it. Oh, and to all of those people who maybe had a politically correct, and warped education.. The first year and a half (give or take) had NOTHING to do with slavery. Nothing! Don’t believe me? Then pick up a copy of “The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History.” Hopefully more southern states follow Alabama’s fine lead.
Federal judge denies request to halt Confederate monument relocation
More silly political correctness.. And this time, with the support of a federal judge, and Bill Clinton nominee. Go figure..
Starnes: Ole Miss Dumps ‘Dixie’ From Football Games
Another depressing story, courtesy of Todd Starnes, on this Hump Day.. Liberals are passionate about so-called “multiculturalism…unless its a culture, or heritage, they don’t like or agree with. Then, they want it not only censored…but eradicated entirely. The south has a very unique culture and heritage…and those who are proud of that heritage should feel free to celebrate that heritage without the pc police and speech nazis bullying them. What Ole Miss is doing isn’t surprising given how liberal elites are running the school. But, it’s awful. Shame on the administration at Ole Miss. Hopefully the alums will put an end to this politically correct nonsense.
Judge blocks Louisville from moving 120-year-old Confederate monument
And, given the mayor’s overt intention to disassemble it and put it into storage until further notice, certainly sounds like these politically correct, liberal politicians want to do just that; get rid of this piece of history. History is what happened; NOT what we wish had happened. And, trying to erase history in the interest of political correctness, and pandering to racially motivated, self-righteous, self-serving, rabble rousers is wrong-headed. Here in America we celebrate out rich history. And, those whose ancestors found on BOTH sides of our Civil War have every right to be proud of their heritage. So, kudos to this judge for putting the brakes on this silly act of political pandering by the mayor. We’ll, of course, keep a close eye on this developing story…
Virginia High School’s Confederate Flag Ban Sparks Flag Rally in Protest
How great is this?!? Kudos to these kids and their parents for standing up to these school administrator nazis using their positions to push their fascist, politically correct, crap. It’d be one thing if there was a policy in the actual school about clothing and such. But, we’re talking about bumper sticker and flags on cars in the parking lot, for crying out loud! That’s where it crossed a line, and these kids (with the support of their parents) are pushing back. Good for them! Virginia was part of the Confederacy. Those who have problem with it need to get the heck over it. Hopefully others will rally to support these kids at their next rally. 🙂
Mississippi Governor Declares April ‘Confederate Heritage Month,’ No Slavery Mention
Interesting.. To read the rest of this article, click on the text above. BUT, a word of caution… The author, Donna Ladd, clearly has an agenda…and uses this story to spread her politically correct version of history. Despite what she asserts, and what most public schools teach these days, the idea of slavery didn’t become a part of the equation until 1.5-2 years into the Civil War. It was a states rights issue, plain and simple. We recommend the book: “The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History” by Thomas E. Woods, Jr., PhD. Dr. Woods nukes that whole slavery argument as a reason why the southern states seceded from the union, and for the start of the Civil War.
