The South is the new China. Southerners, like the Chinese, revere the past, worship their ancestors (and their flags), and eat a lot of rice. William Faulkner observed that the past is not dead, because it is not even past.
He applied that sentiment only to Southerners, but if he had been among us over the past fortnight he would have revised it to include nearly everybody in America, where every day is Flag Day.
This confuses modern Americans because they don’t know much about the past. They certainly don’t revere it, and they wouldn’t worship their ancestors even if they knew who their great-great-grandfathers were. (Grandma wasn’t always sure.)
This fit of ethnic cleansing was inevitable, given the popularity of getting ourselves politically correct, which has grown from a cottage industry, employing mostly family and intimate friends, to a great industry embracing the likes of Amazon, Wal-Mart and eBay (where you can presumably sell your dirty family secrets).
What started with palpitations and occasional fainting spells at the sight of a Confederate flag, has become a nationwide search for something, anything, to bring on a cleansing fit of hysterics. Round and round it goes and where it stops nobody knows. When Rush Limbaugh observed the other day that what happened to the Confederate battle flag will eventually happen to Old Glory, a lot of people said, “well, there goes ol’ Rush again.”

The Cultural Revolution is unfolding in the USA right before our very eyes.
P.S. Hit the link and check out his quotation from Lincoln at the Lincoln-Douglas debates. (After you click away all the pop-ups.)
No kidding. And it’s a shame some of the new Red Guard pose as “conservatives”. They’re Republicans either way, that’s not in dispute.
” We laughed at the Soviets for pulling down statues and erasing history. History will laugh at us, too.”
History is repeating its self, and we have a ring side seat.
Watch this and find out what’s in store for us:

The GOP joining in with the Dems and getting the ball rolling on the “cultural cleansing” of Southern heritage and history this week left me with one of the most intense spells of disgust and boiling anger than I’ve felt in a long, long time.
It was like a visceral spit-in-the-face. Personal.
And now they are erasing ethnic or cultural neighborhoods. Its all about control and money. Satan mever stops with the hate.
I won’t be reconstructed.
This Southerner worships God, not ancestors or flags,but I do respect and honor ancestors and flags. The ridiculous opinions and utterances of liberal jihadists do not matter.
You damn it’s personal
This is my birthright and my five kids
The GOPe are utterly feckless Sallies
Kapos
Traitors to their own
There’s a lamppost somewhere beckoning several of them
CNN etc you expect but southern GOP elected dumping on their electorate is disgusting
We are but the easiest to attack first
Bfl
Amen.
Deo Vindice.
Whereas it was something I wore occasionally, from this day forth, I will *always* include it somewhere on my person.
Hunt me down.
I do not care any more.
Not that this means anything to anyone but me, but my trike body style is called The Rebel and my modified version, which only *I* own, is “The Rebel Yell”.
Any future secession movement should adopt Hebrew instead of Latin. If the Puritans had done this as some of them wanted to, we probably wouldn't be in this mess today.
And please, none of that "Communism is caused by Puritanism" nonsense.
