But if Mississippians want to send a message on the state flag issue, gun control or other issues, here's their chance to do so without handing the store over to the socialists.
And best of all, since Giles is using the Confederate battle flag as a part of his campaign, any attempts to censor or restrict it while he's running will constitute suppression of political activity, a felony offense. That could make for some interesting possibilities, especially in Mississippi high schools with voting-age students willing to make a point.

While addressing the gathering, Mr. Pickering twice enunciated “tomatoes.” Now there are two ways to pronounce tomato. If you recognize phonetic marks, Mr. Pickering calls them (te- mä´toes). If you don’t recognize phonetic marks he pronounced tomato the way a Yankee would pronounce tomato not like a Southerner would pronounce tomato. Mr. Pickering pronounced tomato the way you would expect an elitist country club Republican to pronounce tomato.LOL - this guy's a crackpot. Are you sure that site's for real?
...also please e-mail this petition to EVERYONE on your list...
GILES THROWN OUT AGAIN June 8, 2002 Rankin County, MS – Jim Giles was thrown out of the Disabled American Veterans state convention at the Best Western in Meridian today. The Veterans’ representative told Giles that he was not invited to speak and that if he didn’t leave the police would be called. Giles said, “What exactly did our veterans fight for if not our freedom and democracy? Veterans fought for my freedom to speak as part of the democratic process and yet the leaders of this Veterans’ group who were small in stature and had Yankee accents have decided for the rest of you veterans that I’m not to be permitted an opportunity to make a presentation to you. Shouldn’t you be the one to decide and not your corrupt bureaucratic leaders? This Veterans’ meeting outrageously omitted the state flag of Mississippi from the flag display which included the U.S. and POW flags. You no more represent the majority of veterans in this state than Tomäto represents conservatives in this state. I’m on to you! It’s doubtful they will air it but for the record a Jewish television camera (WTOK Channel 11, the ABC affiliate) was present to record my ejection while Tomäto spoke. Ronnie Shows and Tomäto were invited to speak. I’m a legally qualified candidate. Why exactly am I not being allowed to speak? That’s a rhetorical question because you know the answer. The establishment and the Jewish media disapprove of my values, beliefs and convictions which are shared by the majority of individuals in this state, black and white alike. My exclusion goes against everything America is supposed to stand for and for what veterans fought for.”
That's from his own website.
He claims to support property rights yet supports a national sales tax that would redefine new homes as "consumable goods and services" (similar to alcohol and tobacco) rather than real property.
He claims he'd defend our borders, yet would undermine domestic production by extending "free trade" privileges to entities outside our Constitutional jurisdiction and not bound by a similar set of laws and regulations.
Don't need a kook like this in Congress.
The clowns that are already there are bad enough.
While his loyalty to Mississippi is commendable, his use of the term "Peasant" as his identified constituency, demonizing references to "good ole boy network," "Jewish controlled media," and the Mississippi "establishment," suggest that he is more focused on finding someone to blame, than on advancing a coherent philosophy. This hurts the credibility of whatever is good in his message; and will make many genuine Conservatives, who are as fed up as he is with certain practices, very loath to vote for him.
Having said that, I will say something more. The gutlessly politically correct tendency of many lifelong Conservatives to try to remain respectable to the Leftwing media, leaves many not so ideologically well-rooted, without any serious discussion of certain issues, with which to find a rudder to steer a consistent course. This throws many with a sense that something is very wrong into an intellectual thrashing around process, where they may get diverted into tangential tendencies to concentrate more on blaming someone else, than putting forth a coherent answer. Here is an intelligent man, who is not going at this in the right way, because he feels betrayed by an "establishment," that appears to be a sort of hydra headed monster. He is attacking what he considers the different heads.
Mississippi needs a new political leadership. It is very sad that one who has the passion to provide it, appears to be losing his way, moving in the wrong direction. Do not misunderstand me. It is his manner of identifying the players, not any fault with seeing who is on which side, that is his problem. He sees a plot, as it were, a "good ole boy, Jewish and establishment" plot. But it is not the "good ole boys, Jews or establishment," that is behind what he would fight. It is dysrons in each group who allow themselves to be maneuvered and used by the hard core Left.
