It is truly amazing what 12% of this country can get away with.

The sons of Union civil war vets officially support continuing to display the flag of their fallen Confederate brothers. Obviously the sons of Confederate war vets do the same.

Maybe joining one of those groups can be a starting point for building a movement.

I have often wonder if the men who fought and died in the civil war on the UNION SIDE and seeing the future today would have said “f*ck it - it is not worth my sacrifice.”

“The Left is really good at dividing people. Divide and conquer is one of their key tactics.”

Then we should start dividing the left from their heads.

“Dealing with the left is like dealing with terrorists. Any compromise with them is seen as nothing but a weakness to exploit later.”

Exactly. That is why CWII is inevitable.

“It is becoming clear that we are headed into a cultural revolution much like Chine. That didn’t work out very well, and ours won’t either.”

As long as you kill at least two of the bad guys they can never get even.

“Nancy Pelosi introduced a resolution demanding that Mississippi’s state flag be removed from display on U.S. Capitol Grounds.”

I’m about ready for that, I’m not represented by either party. Our government as it now exists cannot be relied administer our laws and many regulations in an equitable fashion or to follow our Constitution, our legislature has ceded their authority to the executive branch and the majority those who run under the conservative banner have been spending us into oblivion and who have not insisted on protecting our borders are now working their butts off to insure we join the other third world countries in economic and social chaos.

If true it will be ignored, Memphis accepted a large sum of money to name the city operated hospital the “John Gaston Hospital”, time goes by they changed the name kept the money. Vanderbilt received money for buildings to be named for General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson and others but eventually changed the names and kept the money.

It's even more amazing what 2% can get away with.

Those who proclaim the loudest that they want equality are the same who most quickly embrace inequality.

We who are in the south are to be the new Negroes.

A poster here on Free Republic (don’t remember who or which article) said that the agreement between the Forrest family and the city of Memphis was that the land the park sits on was willed to the city as long as Forrest’s bones remained where they are. If they are removed, the land reverts to the family members. Does anyone know about this?

Don't you worry about a thing. If this happened, Obama would simply issue an Executive Order. If that wasn't enough, the SCOTUS would rule that the words in the will have the opposite meaning, when taken in the context of the time.
