There is one thing that matters here and that is whether or not Kirk Lyons will do a better job than his opponent and stand up for Confederate heritage against all its enemies. So far, Kirk has stood up to that challenge and he has my unconditional support.
The SCV as it now stands is not only a neutered laughing-stock, it has become a liability to the struggle to preserve Southern heritage through its compromises, its political correctness, and its fear of controversy.
The SCV cannot maintain its current path. It must adopt more of an activist philosophy. The reason our Confederate heritage is being erased in front of our very eyes is because we're constantly on the defensive against the NAACP, liberals, and their willing accomplices in the media. The SCV cannot effectively win this battle as long as it continues to gather behind closed doors, drink donuts and coffee, and talk about the "glory days". There is too much at stake here and passions are too high to be room for a middle ground. No Quarter!
