The Bonnie Blue is subtle. I doubt 2% of the Sheeple even know what it is. I'm looking for the 2% that do.

We are a band of brothers,
Native to the soil
Fighting for the property
We gained by honest toil.
And when our rights were threatened,
The cry rose near and far;
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star!

chorus: Hurrah! Hurrah!
For Southern rights, Hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star!

As long as the Union
Was faithful to her trust,
Like friends and brethren,
kind were we, and just;
But now, when Northern treachery
Attempts our rights to mar,
We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue flag
That bears a single star.

First gallant South Carolina
Nobly made the stand,
Then came Alabama
And took her by the hand;
Next, quickly, Mississippi,
Georgia, and Florida,
All raised on high the Bonnie Blue flag
That bears a single star.

Ye men of valor gather round
The banner of the right,
Texas and fair Louisiana
Join us in the fight;
Davis, our loved President,
And Stephens statesmen are;
Now rally round the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star.

And here's to brave Virginia,
The Old Dominion State.
With the young Confederacy
At length has linked her fate.
Impelled by her example,
Now other States prepare
To hoist on high the Bonnie Blue flag
That bears a single star.

Then here's to our Confederacy,
Strong we are and brave,
Like patriots of old we'll fight,
Our heritage to save.
And rather than submit to shame,
To die we would prefer
So cheer for the Bonnie Blue flag
That bears a single star.

Then cheer, boys, cheer,
Raise a joyous shout
For Arkansas and North Carolina
Now have both gone out;
And let another rousing cheer
For Tennessee be given
The single star of the Bonnie Blue Flag
Has grown to be eleven!

But I prefer this one.

For you see, I do not wish to secede, I want to take the country back.

But if separation it is to be, then at least we'd have interior lines, and they would be isolated along the left coast and in the northeast and around parts of the Great Lakes. We'd still have a nice long coastline though, all of it ice free year round. We could likely get Florida back on the Good Side, maybe Colorado too.

Also the southern parts of Illinois, Ohio and Indiana would likely split off. We'd have most of the food, other than some of the fruits and vegetables from California, much of the minerals, especially oil and gas. They'd freeze and starve in their putrid cities.

The Western portions of NC and VA would also likely split off.

We might be able to salvage Pennsylvania too, except for the Eastern side where Philly and its environs lay. If not, at least I can make it to friendly territory for less than a tank of gas.

I wonder if that is still possible. The media is a DNC mouthpiece, making it almost impossible to get the truth out. If ACORN gets billions out of the recovery package, that's nothing but money straight to the DNC. We're screwed.

It will take the blood of patriots, I fear.

You're correct. I have the Bonnie Blue on my car. I work at an inner city high school and drive through the 'hood everyday. I've worked in the inner city for 13 years. I have seen folks excoriated for the battle flag. Nobody on my school faculty or my administration has said a word. So they don't know. They're not being ahhhhh progressive. Most folks in my own social studies department don't know. Even though a total of five different flags flew over the Confederacy, the Bonnie Blue stands alone as the ummm spiritual symbol of those who seceded.
