Wise Words from a Southern Patriot

Regarding the latest dust-up over Virginia's "Confederate History Month," I got really pissed off.  I hate it when ignoramuses attack the South.  I will always remember the words of a wise man, who wrote:

No Southerner should ever think he will be allowed to defend his homeland and her people without being insulted for it. If you're going to defend the South, you must be prepared to defend it down to the last boll weevil on the scraggliest cotton patch in front of the most decrepit tar-paper shack in Mississippi.

So widespread is anti-Southern prejudice, especially among the intellectual elite, that the man who presumes to defend the South might as well begin by foreswearing any further ambition in life. Assume at the outset that you will be denounced and castigated and exiled to outer darkness, and resolve that this daunting prospect will not deter you from your duty.

Ask yourself this, my Southern friend: Who are these people who insult you, your friends and your family? Why does it give them so much pleasure to insult you? And why do they imagine that you will let the insult pass by unnoticed?

Those are the words of Robert Stacy McCain, a true Southern patriot and gentleman. Yes, Stacy, I am resolved to do my duty.

Serious Discussions About Secession

Lawrence Auster at View From the Right is entertaining a serious discussion about secession:  how can the red states and the blue states separate into separate countries?  You can read it here. 

Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States, said after the war:

"The principle for which we contend is bound to reassert itself, though it may be at another time and in another form."

Davis was referring to constitutional liberty, the sovereignty of the states and the right of secession.  His words were prophetic. 

Secession would not be my first choice, but my last.  I would rather see the United States returned to the status of a constitutional republic where the limitations of the federal government are clearly defined, understood and respected.  The Left, however, is undertaking the greatest power grab in American history, determined to change the U.S. into something very different.  A division of the country may prove to be inevitable.

Paul of Powerline is WRONG: The Right Proclamation in Virginia

Paul of Powerline is a Lincolnophile, who chooses to believe the false and flattering myths about our most overrated president, one Abraham Lincoln.  Okay, so he loves a white supremacist who ended the consent of the governed, greatly increased the power of the federal government and started a war that killed 640,000 Americans and made war on women, children and civilians.  (And that was when he wasn't busy killing American Indians.)

Paul now objects to the Governor of Virginia issuing a proclamation to honor Confederate history by making April "Confederate history month."  It seems the Governor removed the anti-slavery language from the proclamation that had been tacked on it before. That was absolutely the right thing to do.  The war wasn't about ending slavery and the North largely hated blacks; didn't want them in the new territories, not because they opposed slavery but because they opposed the presence of blacks and the additional political clout that might accrue to the South, enabling it to better resist Northern tariffs. 

Paul says Confederate soldiers were "honorable" even though they fought for the wrong side.  Horseshit, Paul.  They fought for the right side, but the right side doesn't always win.  And when they lose, they have to endure many decades of slander, myth and outright lies.

It is a shame that liberals (and Northern myth zealots like Paul) have politicized history by rewriting it for the purpose of advancing modern political issues.  So Confederate descendants must now apologize for their ancestors at every turn, in order to tacitly approve and confirm the Northern myth, i.e. that the North didn't (illegally and immorally) invade the South for conquest, territory and taxes, but did so because they were morally outraged about slavery, filled with glorious self-righteousness and dedicated to the equality of man, no matter what the price in blood and treasure.  Yeah, right.

I'll tell you what I think, Paul.  The next time any Northern states want to honor Yankees, they should do so, but only with language that denounces Indian genocide, war crimes against civilians, Northern racism, arson and theft, and imperialism against other states and territories (ask the Hawaiians about the latter).

New Stogie Photoshop at American Power

Yesterday I received an email from my friend Donald Douglas at American Power, requesting a Photoshop of one of his blogosphere opponents, a "libertarian socialist" named James B Webb, who runs a blog called "Brain Rage" (well he's half right, about the rage part).  His post on Easter is especially disgusting, so be forewarned.

Webb is proud of his support for Obama (he "was for Obama before it was cool to be for Obama").  His site bears a quote from Sinclair Lewis that says "WHEN FASCISM COMES TO AMERICA IT WILL BE WRAPPED IN THE FLAG AND CARRYING A CROSS."

Apparently, Webb doesn't have much to write about so "Brain Rage" has become a shadow blog of American Power.  Webb waits for Donald Douglas to post something, then ridicules both the post and Donald.  Personally, I wouldn't bother with Webb, but Donald loves to fight with these people.

The original photograph has disappeared from "Brain Rage," possibly to reduce the impact of my Photoshop.  (It always means more if you can compare the original to the Photoshop).

Here's the original photo for your amusement.  See the Photoshop at this link

The False Analogy of the New York Times: Tea Party Members vs Weather Underground

American Power has a post regarding a recent article by the New York Times.  The article compares the violent, anti-American, pro-Communist Weather Underground of the 1960's with the Tea Party goers of 2010.

There is no comparison and the Times knows it, but this is not news reporting, it is leftwing propaganda.  It is part of the ongoing effort of the so-called mainstream news to discredit and defame the Tea Party movement.

The Tea Parties are trying to save America, not destroy it or subvert it to some foreign, totalitarian ideology, as did the Weather Underground.  Further, the Tea Parties have shown ZERO tendencies towards violence in their numerous assemblies and protests.  They have threatened no one.  They have slandered no one -- not minorities or gays.  Their only threat, if it can be called one, is to vote the Democrats out in mass, come November.

The Times story is disgusting and dishonest.  That's probably one of the reasons they are skating on the thin edge of bankruptcy.  May it come soon.

The Face of Jesus Finally Revealed?

This was from an interesting show on the History Channel about the Shroud of Turin.  Using computerized, 3-D graphics, the image from the famous "Shroud of Turn" was turned into a 3-D image.

The face at left is said to be an accurate depiction of what the face would have looked like in real life.

If the image on the Shroud of Turn is indeed Jesus, it is obvious that Jesus was a very handsome man.

Lying on the Left: the Bogus "N-Word" Episode

Right after Obama got his socialist health bill passed, the Dems sought to divert public attention and outrage away from themselves.  They would put the Right on the defensive with one of their famous smear campaigns, fake news stories and pretended outrage.

Here's how they did it: after the bill was signed, they had the Black Caucus Democrats walk through the Tea Party protestors on Capitol Hill, hoping to draw (and record) some racist comments from the crowd.  None were forthcoming.  As Andrew Breitbart put it:

The first sign that a plan was in place was the ham-fisted, high-camp posturing of the most controversial members of the Democratic caucus walking through the peaceful but animated “Tea Party” demonstrators on Capitol Hill. There is no reason for these elected officials to walk above ground through the media circus amid their ideological foes. The natural route is the tunnels between the House office buildings and the Capitol. By crafting a highly symbolic walk of the Congressional Black Caucus through the majority white crowd, the Democratic Party was looking to provoke a negative reaction. They didn’t get it. So they made it up.

One member of the Black Caucus claimed that the Tea Party had hurled the N Word 15 times.  The truth is that it wasn't hurled even once.  It was all a big fat lie.  Lying, of course, is what the Left does.  They have a real problem dealing with reality.

There were plenty of cameras on the marching BC Democrats that day, and not a single recorded occurrence of the famous "N Word."  Those darned Tea Partiers just wouldn't cooperate in their own destruction.

Andrew Breitbart at first offered $10,000 for proof that black legislators were slurred.  Then the offered payment was increased to $20,000, then to $100,000.  Still no proof of the event was forthcoming.  Breitbart says:

That crowd was a sea of new-media equipment. Not only were tens of thousands people armed with handicams, BlackBerrys and iPods, so also was the mainstream media there, covering every inch of the event. Why did not one mainstream media outlet raise the specter that perhaps a video would exist to prove the events occurred?

Democrats -- they lie like hell while stealing your liberty, your prosperity and your children's future.  Again, to quote Breitbart:

The Democrats need to kill the Tea Party movement. They need to marginalize and demonize those who would stand up to their hardball, toxic and anti-democratic tactics. Their strategy is to bait and incite the Tea Party and to use whatever they can get to silence the awakening giant.

Evil, Hate-Mongering Tea Parties Revealed!

This video of sign-carrying, protesting Tea Parties is truly a cause for concern.  Oh wait a minute...those aren't Tea Parties!  One of the Left's most prominent features, other than the complete vacuity of its beliefs, is its searing hypocrisy -- as the video below attests.

Leftists to Infiltrate, Disrupt and Defame Tea Parties on April 15

On the way to work this morning, I heard Brian Sussman of KSFO radio discuss a leftwing email that is being passed around.  In it, the lefty commentator urged his fellow radicals to infiltrate the Tea Parties that are scheduled nationwide on April 15.

The email said that leftwingers should pose as Tea Party members and carry signs with offensive slogans, so they can be photographed by the mainstream media and used to slander the real Tea Partiers.  One suggestion was a sign with the slogan, "God Hates Fags."  There were a number of other suggestions, but Sussman didn't want to read them on the air.

Left Coast Rebel has a related post today on the same topic.  The Rebel says that violent anarchists are planning on infilitrating and sabotaging the Tea Party Protests on April 15th.  They want to actively oppose the Tea Parties with counter protests.  Violence from the left is a real possibility.  Indeed, readers at "Anarchist News" website are talking about "busting heads" and other strong-arm tactics.  They can't win a debate so they must resort to threats and intimidation.

The Tea Party leaders are now studying ways to counter the threat.  However, one might well pose the question:  if the Left's programs and policies are so wonderful, why do they have to resort to fraud and deceit to advance their cause?
