What Does It Mean "The South Shall Rise Again":

...he was stunned to see two large Confederate flags flying from trucks...emblazoned with the words "The South Shall Rise Again." I'm stunned, too, that people still think it is cool to fly this flag. Our society should bury these flags -- not flaunt them...because the Confederate flag symbolizes racial tyranny to so many... ...This flag doesn't belong on city streets, in videos or in the middle of civil discussion. It belongs in our past -- in museums and in history books -- along with the ideas it represents.

PC-Cons simply don’t have the nerve or the desire to stand up to bullying leftists when the race card gets played.

Agreed.

Most conservatives operate on logical thought, while liberals 'emote'.

Just as a logical, rational argument will turn a liberal into a foaming, spewing mass of humanity, an argument based on a emotional concept, like racism, automatically puts a conservative in an indefensible position.

Here is one of millions of examples. Enjoy!

Hmmmm. I have a higher opinion of Longstreet than you....

Of course. Longstreet was a better man than I am, lol.

Godwin's corollary, if you can't debate on the merits attack your opponents spelling.

And be sure to invoke Godwin, when you really get nailed to a cross.

[mac_truck]

Nobody’s nailing me to anything. Especially you.

[lentulusgracchus]

Defiance -- the last act of the terminally uncompetitive.

[Non-Sequitur]

This tells me alot about you. You assume that the south automatically defends its own.

No I was pretty sure you'd deny them.

[Badeye]

ROTFL!

Now thats a hilarious response. Thanks!

[Non-Sequitur]

But but.... I thought the north was fighting to free the slaves! That is just so disappointing. To learn that the north cared so little for the plight of the slaves. (sarc off.)If the north didn’t care about the slaves, then they need to quit calling the south racists. They were no different.

Maybe you need to read up on the rebellion a bit more.

In other words, the plight of the slaves meant very little to BOTH sides.

Well that's not entirely true. The South wanted the slaves to remain exactly where they were and were willing to secede, and then launch a rebellion in order to maintain them in that position.

You said a mouthful! Most conservatives are easily manipulated when it comes to issues of race.

Thanks. I wonder what the reports are for 2006. Since Bush’s NCLB passed, the education system in the south has greatly improved. Glad to see all those inner city kids doing so well in school.

[beckysueb]

Well you thought right. Al Gore is another southerner who isn’t well liked here.

[LexBaird]

Now why do you suppose that so many highly influential, even dispositive, personalities as the people who surrounded Lincoln ... never got their definitive scholarly biographies written, in the course of 150 years?

Umm. Because no one bothered? Why do you think; it was a conspiracy to hide something? Since you see a lack, why don't you write some?

[Non-Sequitur]

Gee, I wonder why it was changed to the Civil War. Could it be that it was learned that the north wasn't innocent after all?

No, Southern revisionism. The Southern leaders wanted the official name changed to War Between The States. Civil War was a compromise. As a trivia note, the conflict was misnamed on the Marine Corps memorial in Arlington Cemetery.

[beckysueb]

Oh really? Amazing considering the north won the war and pull all the strings. Since when does the north take the south into consideration while they are sitting up there in DC harassing the people?

[Altura Ct.]

"The left will then direct their hate and vitriol against Washington, Madison, and even Lincoln. We’ll have Jesse Jackson types screaming for Lincoln’s name to be removed from some public school because, after all, he never really wanted to free the slaves. He just wanted to preserve the “racist” United States of America as a union. He even believed blacks were inferior and considered hauling them off and dumping them in a separate colony somewhere. When that happens, the PC-Conservative enablers will immediately do a 180 and will agree that Lincoln was an evil, monstrous human being."

Absolutely! Western, white American heroes will NEVER be left to stand. Consider how Christopher Columbus is now demonized or the 400th anniversary of Jamestown. Not a celebration but a "commemoration". How long before it will go from a commemoration to a travesty? Consider the current immigration invasion. How long before the Alamo is considered an event no longer worthy of celebration and men like Travis, Bowie and Crockett are considered evil men?

#####Didn’t you post this same post somewhere else?#####

Not the exact same post word for word, but I’ve posted similar posts many times.

[beckysueb]

Excellent post! People better wake up. They should ask themselves why the south is the last conservative bastion in the country. Maybe because we have our mindset right.

[puroresu]

Exactly!

[Non-Sequitur]

Jimmy Carter is not a solid son of the South. Neither is Bill Clinton.

Both were Southern born and raised, both launched their poltitical careers there. If that doesn't make them Son's of the South then what does?

Both are Democrat Scalawags.

By definition a 'scalawag' was a Southern white who joined the Republican party.

Actually, given the South's belated conversion to conservativism, it is you all who should be thanking those of us in the Plains who have stood against liberalism all these decades. Without us you would be a year and a half into either the second Gore administration or the first Kerry administration.

States like Kansas and Nebraska and the Dakota's and Utah and Idaho were conservative when conservative wasn't cool. The South is late to the party. Southerners didn't start switching to the GOP until they realized that they could call themselves 'Republican' and still keep their big spending, big government ways.
