Virginia County secretly removes Confederate flag from official seal
The Daily Press, Hampton Roads, VA ^ | March 2, 2006 | Associated Press

The removal of the Confederate flag from Amherst County's official seal has upset Southern heritage groups, who contend residents weren't told of the change. County officials acknowledge the image was quietly removed in August 2004 to avoid an uproar.

It was precisely because of the sick and twisted society of the Slavers that poor and middle class Southerners were driven out of their own lands by the lack of opportunity and land drive of the Slavers. Of course, the mindless Slavers destroyed the lands themselves through improper cultivation. The Juggernaut crushed the people the system threw under its wheels.

The gigantic Land Consumption of the Slave system forced the non-Slavers out into the Midwest, West and California thereby removing any chance of checking the power of the Aristocracy. It sapped the cultural life of the region and condemned it to cultural decay. Faulkner clearly illustrates the mortal effect upon Southern live and morals in his great works.

Hence its madness fed upon itself until the finale folly of the RAT Rebellion.

That is false pure and simple. The Continental Congress predates any states erected on a constitution.

Allan Nevins' work clearly shows how the Slavers achieved their Insurrection after almost a decade of scheming and conspiracy topped off by the Charleston meeting.

I get "ridiculed" only by the ridiculous. Many people may argue with me which is fine but none react with the hysterical name-calling that you exhibit. Hopefully it helps you shed some of your demons.

"one more time, calling anyone a "neoconfederate" marks the person using this TERM OF ABUSE as a LUNATIC & a HATER."

It never ends with you. Since you ducked the historic facts (as always) the attack zeros in on your crowning glory, the "neoconfederate" rat-packers and their unmasked agenda for America.

You're damn right, your stated "Dixie Republic illusions would be vicious national "abuse from "lunatics and the worst forms of "haters" if the neo-confed agenda was ignored and began infesting the foundations of hard fought freedoms all real Americans cherish.

Maybe you could be less overtly obsessed with your imaginary "Dixie Republic" if you purchased some land in very close proxcimitry to your favourite insect ridden swamp, build a plantation house, put up some little shacks, which this time you could attempt existing in - and dream, glancing up at the plantation manor .

"your post is TOO SILLY for a legitimate answer. the bilge you post is ALWAYS false or wrong."

Just droning on & on. Prove those posted facts are as you foolishly cry "false", "wrong" and "silly" and respond, if you can, to everyone else which have posted similar facts on the "way of life" you demand for 2006.

You ran out of neo-confederate insurrectionist revisionist DeLorenzoisms. Your ammo is all wet - so throw in the towel, before you trip over it -lol and look like a bigger ....

"Even then Lincoln only won because the Slavers decided they wanted a good excuse to rebel and made sure the Democrat Party was split into three sections."

They know the truth of the 1860 election, but refuse to admit the results, coupled with the repulsive evidence of a pre-plotted insurrection to tare America to shreds after the Dixie Dems lost control of Washington's power politics.

"There is no doubt that racist ideology is paramount in many of those spouting these despicable defenses of those who attacked the Sovereignty of the United States of America."

Ask them to defend their close comrade Kirk Lyons. Something they have lots of practice. It's beyond pitiful, the part each one plays in the ridiculous attempts to disguise the obvious.

This quote fits this bunch: "It is not honest inquiry that makes anarchy; but it is error, insincerity, half-belief and untruth that makes it."

"The "malcontents" you refer to happen to believe in limited central govenment and states rights."

Is that what you called Jim Crow? "states rights"

And the "limited central government" bit, spin baby it, spin it, as in "slaves were very close to their masters and vice versa."

You bet your life the slaves were close at the closing of the Civil War, and at the right time, for a little long overdue reciprocity, as the once almighty slavers started heading for the hills in 1864-65, or in the case of Mr. Big, Jeff Davis, he was leaving town for the palm tree lined tropical beaches of Havana, Cuba, which as I recall was still under the control of Spain - Davis was rerouted and no palm trees....eh?

If some so-called "Americans" attempted to overthrow the United States government today through incitement to armed revolution, terrorism and civil chaos - funny that, I always assumed they would be declared "traitors" What's your term?

"Sadly there's always been an element of southerners that will suffer any exploitation and overlook any injustice if they can be fooled into thinking it's for "The South".

Unfortunately this insurrectionary element seems to be well represented on this thread even though in total today's revisionist rebel rabble-rousers are only rousing those already jaundiced with a serious case of Lost-causitis. The only known cure for Lost-causitis would be mega-doses of historical realities in the ER of the here and now.

What will today's crabby-confederates be raging about when the a rouge state like renegade, Mohammedan captive Iran triggers the unthinkable? Which could happen rather soon, but the Confederate Crap Society (CCS) shall most likely remain floundering in their little murky pond OF delusions .....looking for the cause, lost ages ago.
