A Time to Fight: Take Down the American Flag -- America Has Seceded From the South!

This morning I read on Drudge that the Antietam Battlefield Park has removed all Confederate flag items from its shops.  They are so fanatical about their censorship of history, that they won't sell anything that even pictures a Confederate flag, if that picture or depiction is detachable.

This is worse than fascism -- this is mass insanity.  America has become a hostile work environment.  Or more than that, a hostile living environment.

NASCAR is also reaching new depths of depravity.  Not only are they banning use of the Confederate flag on the track, now they are seeking to ban it in the infield as well.

There are ways to comply with this madness:  stay home.  If Antietam and other parks deny the Confederate flag to the public, then the public should deny its dollars to Antietam.  Don't go there.

If NASCAR wants to spit in the face of its greatest supporters (flag-waving Southerners), comply with its wishes:  leave your Confederate flags at home, and stay there with them.

AND TAKE DOWN THE AMERICAN FLAG.  Why fly the flag of the invader?  The flag of a nation who hates us and seeks to oppress, marginalize, insult and disinherit us?  By its choice, not ours, we are no longer a part of America.  America has seceded from us!

America, then, should no longer be a part of us.  Let each one of us internally and morally secede from the Union, by withdrawing our moral support from it, by denying its moral legitimacy over our lives, by refusing to accept its false history, oppression and marginalization.

IT IS TIME TO FIGHT.  Not with guns (yet), but with strategies and countermeasures.  It is time for us to find ways to repay our Yankee masters for 150 years of occupation and oppression.

Photoshop Trick of the Day: How to Make a Flag Wave in the Breeze

Today I wanted to make a Colonial flag waving in the breeze.  However, I could only find a flat flag (see below).

I figured out how to give it a "waving in the breeze" look using the Filter command in Photoshop.  Use a really large brush: choose a round, solid brush, then hit the ] key until it is plenty big.  If it's too big, hit the [ key to reduce the size. Now open the Filter tab, then the Liquify tab.  Choose the top icon, the Forward Warp tool.  Starting with the edges of the flag, just nudge the edges until they look right.  The result is a waving flag (see bottom image).

I added a flag pole and put in a sky blue background.  Pretty cool hey?
