Sons of Confederate Veterans have a role in modern America
Nolan Chart ^ | Tuesday, February 2, 2010 | Mark Vogl

Posted on 02/03/2010 8:57:04 AM PST by cowboyway

The Sons of Confederate Veterans (S.C.V.) is a fraternal organization composed of male descendents of the men who served in the Confederate Armed Forces during the War for Southern Independence. Their emblems include the controversial Confederate battle flag. Their core responsibility is articulated in a charge given to them by Lt. General Stephen D. Lee which calls on them to defend the heritage, honor, and reputation of the Confederate soldier and the Cause they fought for.

The Cause they fought for was individual liberty, state's rights, the original Constitution and the right to secede. In essence, Confederates fought an aggressive Union which would not allow the states to exercise an accepted right of secession. This right had been exercised by all the original states when they withdrew from the government of the Articles of Confederation, and entered the present day United States of America. Further, the Tenth Amendment reserved all powers not addressed in the Constitution to the States and people respectively. And lastly, the new union was formed as each individual state entered the union.

I’M A REB TROLLING FREEPER
or, The Ballad of NonSensical and his spawn, BubbaHoeTemp

Oh, I’m a Reb Trolling Freeper, now that’s just what I am.
I sit at my computer and type out loads of spam.
I spout my revisionist history just like I learned in screwl.
I don’t need no facts cuz I’m just a government tool.

I hates the Stars and Bars and I want it to be banned.
I only want freedom for my politically correct clan.
I waits for Rebs to post so I can shout out my cat-calls
I’d face them down in person but I just don’t have the balls.

I hates all things about the South I’ve said it many times
I secretly fell guilty because of my ancestors crimes.
The Rebs will never know it because I’ve been brain washed
And everything but trolling about me has been squashed.

The Rebs made us look stupid on every battle field
They showed up ill equipped and my ancestors were killed.
But I will not admit this, the facts are on my side
Or at least the ones I make up since my honesty has died.

I’m stuck inside the four walls of this facility.
They’ll never let me out because of my low mental faculties.
But as long as I have my computer and Freeper log in ID
I’ll keep posting lies and venom for all eternity.

I love being a member of the “Lost Cause”. What they forget is that the “cause” was about freedom. Rather be a “Lost Causer” than a “Found Socialist.” But that’s just me.

It is funny that their supposed insult is really a constant reminder that our cause was about freedom. That they are so clueless is not surprising.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Bubba Ho-Tep. But in this case it also points out a total lack of creativity on the part of the Lost Cause brigade.

Troll...........

That's the best you can do? Why I'd expected more from you, given the rabid level of most of your responses.

As a black man once told me, “In the north the white people tell me we are equals but flee from their neighborhoods when a black family moves in and they call me nigger when they think I can’t hear. In the South we live in the same neighborhoods and if somebody doesn’t like me they tell me to my face. But when they say that they don’t like me it seldom has anything to do with my race. I will never live in the north again.”

I'm sure that Major Innes Randolph would be equally flattered and as unimpressed by your spawns creativity.

Actually, according the website from which you swiped the photograph, which is about Brown vs The Board of Education of Topeka, its Kansan honor at it's finest.

Indeed it is, had you taken the effort to actually look into the matter. Brown v. Board of Ed was actually Brown v. Topeka Board of Education, et.al. It was a grouping of similar cases from Kansas, South Carolina, Delaware, D.C. and Virginia. And the interesting part in all of this is what happened after Brown. By the time the Supreme Court handed down their decision, the Topeka School System was already well on their way to implementing an integration plan that fully complied with the court's finding. In the Virginia case, Davis v. County School Board of Prince Edward County, the Board of Supervisors for Prince Edward County refused to appropriate any funds for the County School Board for the period 1959-1964, effectively closing the public schools rather than integrate them. In the South Carolina case, Briggs v. Elliott, a three judge panel had voted two to one to uphold segregation. The lone dissenting vote, Judge J. Waite Warring, was driven from the state for his vote supporting segregation. In any event it took years for integration to finally come. In the D.C. case, Bolling v. C. Melvin Sharpe, Southern congressmen and senators did all they could to hinder the implementation of the Brown ruling. And in the Delaware case, Belton v. Gebhart, again it took years before the order was implemented.

So on the one hand you have a Yankee state of Kansas fully implementing the ruling in a timely manner and on the other hand you have Southern states and Southern leaders doing everything in their power up to and including doing away with the schools altogether to keep from integrating. And the reaction elsewhere in the South is noteworthy as well. In Virginia, Senator Harry F. Byrd, Sr. organized the Massive Resistance movement that included the closing of schools rather than desegregating them. In 1957, Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus called out his state's National Guard to block black students' entry to Little Rock High School. In Florida the legislature passed an Interposition Resolution in 1957 denouncing the decision and declaring it null and void. (Another attempt at nullification it seems). And of course in 1963, Alabama Gov. George Wallace personally blocked the door to Foster Auditorium at the University of Alabama to prevent the enrollment of two black students.

Southern honor at its finest indeed.

Well for two-thirds of your population at any rate.

Rather be a “Lost Causer” than a “Found Socialist.” But that’s just me.

Most amusing, considering the socialistic tendencies of Jeff Davis' confederacy.

That they are so clueless is not surprising.

Funny. We've reached the same conclusion about all y'all.

And no doubt you agree completely with the ideas Randolph expressed in his poem?

“Well for two-thirds of your population at any rate.”

Just as it was under the United States. No point made there.

“Most amusing, considering the socialistic tendencies of Jeff Davis’ confederacy.”

But not nearly as amusing as forgetting to compare it to Lincoln’s dictatorship. No point made there.

“Funny. We’ve reached the same conclusion about all y’all.”

It is funny. People with no intellectual honesty reaching conclusions. Of course, the conclusions reached are indicative of the lack of that dishonesty. No point made there. Not even any sense made.

I don’t know why you continue to post things that are, well, pointless.

But honesty is not a Southron hallmark it seems. You claim your cause was for 'freedom'. Let's be honest, it was for the freedom to continue to enslave others and the freedom to take your institution of slavery to every corner of the country that instigated your rebellion.

But not nearly as amusing as forgetting to compare it to Lincoln’s dictatorship. No point made there.

However an honest comparison of Lincoln's actions and Davis' would show that the true tyrant ruled south of the Potomac and not north. Davis abused his constitution and trampled on freedoms and states rights in ways that Lincoln would never have contemplated.

People with no intellectual honesty reaching conclusions.

And yet you continue to try.

I don’t know why you continue to post things that are, well, pointless.

I could easily ask the same about you.

More delusional revisionism from the Master Delusionist, known hypocrite and pathalogical liar.

Davis supported a limited government, federalism, and an expansionist foreign policy (go west young man). Jefferson Davis was a statesman, a graduate of West Point, a US congressman, US senator and Secretary of War; all in all, a far more interesting and honorable man than the slippery lawyer from Illinois.

You are so incredebly clever!!

You want me to say 'Yes!Yes!' so that you can point your pudgy finger at the screen and shout (to no one in particular) "See!! I told the world in post #66 of this thread that cowboyway 'hates the United States'!!"

You are so miserably pathetic............

Just like you he's always here, posting his insults, nonsense and lies.

Stand, on the other hand, is not here, in case you haven't noticed.
