Sons of Confederate Veterans have a role in modern America

The Sons of Confederate Veterans (S.C.V.) is a fraternal organization composed of male descendents of the men who served in the Confederate Armed Forces during the War for Southern Independence. Their emblems include the controversial Confederate battle flag. Their core responsibility is articulated in a charge given to them by Lt. General Stephen D. Lee which calls on them to defend the heritage, honor, and reputation of the Confederate soldier and the Cause they fought for.

The Cause they fought for was individual liberty, state's rights, the original Constitution and the right to secede. In essence, Confederates fought an aggressive Union which would not allow the states to exercise an accepted right of secession. This right had been exercised by all the original states when they withdrew from the government of the Articles of Confederation, and entered the present day United States of America. Further, the Tenth Amendment reserved all powers not addressed in the Constitution to the States and people respectively. And lastly, the new union was formed as each individual state entered the union.

What kind of dance is that?

No dance. It's the English language. There's not a mention of the kid anywhere in that sentence.

If you and Hilderman and the rest of you PC yankees think that 'education' and 'public relations' is going to change the hearts and minds of the NAACP, the New Black Panthers, etc. then you're dumber than an anvil

And if you and Kirk Lyons think that an SCV whose upper ranks are occupied by people with ties to white supremacist and separatist groups is going to accomplish anything but discredit confederate heritage efforts, you're truly deluded.

Sounds like the SCV is catching up with me...

In marginalizing itself from mainstream America and becoming an embarrassing joke, it appears so.

It's obvious what you were trying to do but you're too much of a coward to admit it.

You and NS; the English mega-masters.........

You're jokes and we're all laughing at you.

I don't know any of the upper ranks of the SCV but are you willing to go public with your accusations?

By mainstream, do you mean like the 'mainstream media' and you and your PC cronies?

You can have it, bubba.

As I said before, what I was trying to do was mock your apparent belief that being photographed with a black person must mean that a person isn't racist. Apparently I was too subtle for you.

Why bother? It's public record that has been widely reported in the media everywhere from the New York Times to the Civil War Times. Anyone is free to do the research themselves. Harper's Magazine did an article talking about it a few months ago. What am I going to add?

By mainstream, do you mean like the 'mainstream media' and you and your PC cronies?

No, by mainstream I mean able to appeal to enough people to win in an election.
