The sudden outburst of efforts to smear the Old South and denigrate her honor, so evident since the Clinton election in 1992, are merely one more gambit in the extreme Left's effort to introduce class-warfare concepts in America. They have been trying to stir something up, by playing the racial card since the 1920s, after their original efforts among the White population failed.

To see how ridiculous these antics are, from the standpoint of the patriotic American mainstream, one need only look at General MacArthur's inspiring farewell to West Point in 1962, in which he equated the grey of the Confederacy as an honored part of the American military tradition. (See Duty, Honor, Country.)

There was not one peep of protest at the equation, although recordings of the speech were probably the most widely replayed of any in our history--as well as being published in manuals printed by the Department of Defense, after MacArthur's death, two years later.

Between 1900 and Bill Clinton, only crack-pots assailed the honor of the Confederates.
