I’m a Yankee - from a deep blue state ... And I have absolutely no problem with the Confederate flag, or Jeff Davis, or Southern Pride, or anything else of the like. next time this putrid little pip squeak comes home, throw him a blanket party. Then he might go the way of dingy Harry.

Soooo…. when everyone jumps on the bandwagon to ban guns and repeal the Second Amendment - I wonder how fast that will blow through the country? We have no idea what is about to happen to us.

It's like the flag deal is a test run.

Now you know why I began referring to them as democommies back in the dark days during the reign of Anklepants...

...for they all are of the exact same evil ‘mindset’.

e entire US Congress and SCOTUS have been or are being blackmailed or bought off by the Transnational Progressives. You, as US citizens, are now property.

Wasn’t George Washington a slave owner?

We need to rename the capital!

Frankly I think George Washington would not want his name associated with the capital of this country today.

Call it CRONY ISLAND.

Yup.

It has shown the Ruling Class and it's Praetorian media that this country has arrived at the point that anything from White Christian culture can now be targeted, removed and banned in mere days - all to the sounds of 'Sieg heil!' from the sheeple who make the Meme Du Jour their religious dogma.

Genocides begin in such environments.

Having driven most of the Democratic power centers out of the “Solid South”, the Republican Party now seems ready to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

These GOPe assjacks are as soft on southern history as they are a Obama

They are just as culpable as the Democrats in killing our country

Not meaning to argue since your intentions seem sincere and righteous but nearly 50,000 Kentuckians fought for Dixie

A number are buried at McGavock cemetery about one mile north northeast of my little 10 acres

But their govt then was out of touch with their constituents then same as now

Guess what percentage of the vote Lincoln received in 1860 there?

Less than one percent

If you’re young enough remember my warning cause I won’t be here now pushing 60

They will not stop with my people and our heritage

They want it all

Anything they can claim is founded in prejudice against anything minority

The founders

Christianity

Lincoln for his racist comments

The Alamo is already in their sites

Destroy everything to start new with a brown socialist utopia

You think you can placate them by sacrificing my children’s birthright

Don’t be foolish

Atlanta is the capital of black America

It’s a corrupted black run cesspool of banana republic politics propped up by corporate headquarters ...Buckhead and mostly white suburbs

Nothing the folks who run Atlanta would try surprises me

That said I spent a fun weekend at the St Regis two weeks ago and wifey plied Phipps for treasure thus emptying my bank account

I’m mixed

It’s very very ghetto compared to my youth but I still like it

Like New Orleans

And speaking of Buckhead

You hear more southern accents at Houstons at paces ferry than you do here in Nashville

I drove by Beavoir just 10 days ago

Explored from Waveland to Ocean Springs

First time since right after you know who in 2005

Man it’s still only about 10% rebuilt on 90

That high ground between Pass Christian and what used to be Mississippi City did well

As did Beavoir and the old barracks?

Some hotel is developing it now

I see it flooded even way past the old L&N railroad which sits up about 8 foot I guess

I was in Camille as a lad and she only breached the tracks by a few fee

Katrina went way past that

It took 20 years to recover from Camille.....it’s been 10 since Katrina and pretty slow

I did not go into Waveland

In Camille Waveland got smoked.....

My wife loves it there....the old homes and live oaks with moss

I lived on Rich ave a little as a boy in long beach before Camille

It’s all just slabs now

I notice all the new homes are about 14 foot on stilts

And a bunch of development along interstate 10 interchanges.....

Jeff Davis and Lincoln were born only miles apart, weren’t they?

I appreciate that as a 7th generation Mississippian exiled to middle TN in my August years of life

Very much so I salute you and I’m proud to see 99% of the forum appears to be sympathetic to we former Rebs as we’re called

But hear me respectfully

My birthright is just the low hanging fruit

They will come for yours too when they are thru with us

Old Glory

The Founders

Doctrinaire Christendom

The Family

Anything they can tie to prejudice or bigotry

It’s gone

Philadelphia is chock full of sweet places where slavers and others honed our republic

That’s in their sights as well

It’s not by coincidence the most conservative part of the country are under attack right now

It would be appropriate for Senator Cruz, in response, to sponsor a bill to tear down the Johnson Memorial Grove on the Potomac and rename the Johnson Space Center to something less offensive.

After all,
