During campaigns against a state personal income tax on wages and salaries being imposed in Connecticut, we turned instinctively to the coiled rattlesnake flag against a bright yellow background and the legend Don't Tread on Me! which had been a battle flag of our colonial era Revolutionary War predecessors. The leftists hate that flag too.
Likewise, whenever tyranny is threatened, the Confederate Battle Flag will be brought out for renewed service.
On July 4, 1915, just 100 years ago this past weekend, the Confederate Veterans of America CVA and the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) held their very first joint national encampment and held it at Gettysburg. The old men of both armies re-enacted Pickett's disastrous charge (without live ammo). The Union vets broke from the tradition of the actual battle and ran down the hill to meet the reb vets. When they came together, they embraced one another in tears. They are all our honored national ancestors, representing the 600,000 dead and the incredible number who had been wounded. They understood that as you apparently do not.
If you don't understand that, you are beyond help and you exemplify what is ugly in the current administration of race baiters in Washington who are trying to stampede Americans out of every worthwhile aspect of their heritage.
Our government schools dominated by the ultra-leftist National Misedumakashun Association may favor your revisionist mythology but actual conservatives will not and we will keep our heritage alive by properly educating our children.
The only tyranny occurred with the southron slavers.
Bye, now!
You have an excessively rose-colored view of race relations in Latin America. Latin American countries have had less of a history of de jure racial segregation but have a greater degree of de facto segregation and hierarchy to this day. Almost all of the people in Rio de Janeiro slums are black or brown, all most all those in the high rise penthouses are European (there’s also a geographic divide with the more European affluent south of Brazil vs. the more Indian/Black and impoverished north). Similarly, most of the business elite and professionals of Mexico look like Spaniards, the peasants and unskilled workers are Indios or Mestizos. They did have the Indio-looking Benito Juarez, since then most of their El Presidentes have looked more like Vincente Fox.
