WE ARE STILL FIGHTING THE CIVIL WAR!

But those other armies didn’t belong to Gen. Robert E. Lee, whose Army of Northern Virginia had flown the Southern Cross battle flag during the campaigns and battles that had won Lee’s army international fame. It was the Confederacy’s marquee force, the army fighting to defend the capital city, and the army that won the victories that kept the Confederacy alive. It was, as the historian Gary Gallagher has argued, more than just a military unit, but the very touchstone of martial Confederate nationalism. It was the symbol of the fighting South. In the words of Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard, the battle flag had been “consecrated by the best blood of our country on so many battle-fields.”

A handful of contemporaries linked the new flag design to the “peculiar institution” that was at the heart of the South’s economy, social system and polity: slavery. Bagby characterized the flag motif as the “Southern Cross” – the constellation, not a religious symbol – and hailed it for pointing “the destiny of the Southern master and his African slave” southward to “the banks of the Amazon,” a reference to the desire among many Southerners to expand Confederate territory into Latin America. In contrast, the editor of the Savannah, Ga., Morning News focused on the white field on which the Southern Cross was emblazoned. “As a people, we are fighting to maintain the heaven-ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored races. A White Flag would be thus emblematical of our cause.” He dubbed the new flag “the White Man’s Flag,” a sobriquet that never gained traction.

CURRENT PRESIDENT OF THE NRA:

The NRA was started, 1871, right here in New York state. It was started by some Yankee generals who didn’t like the way my southern boys had the ability to shoot in what we call the “War of Northern Aggression.” Now, y’all might call it the Civil War, but we call it the War of Northern Aggression down south.

But that was the very reason that they started the National Rifle Association, was to teach and train the civilian in the use of the standard military firearm. And I am one who still feels very strongly that that is one of our most greatest charges that we can have today, is to train the civilian in the use of the standard military firearm, so that when they have to fight for their country they’re ready to do it. Also, when they’re ready to fight tyranny, they’re ready to do it. Also, when they’re ready to fight tyranny, they have the wherewithal and the weapons to do it.

Because our legislative, judicial and executive branches of government hold the 10th Amendment in contempt, I’m beginning to wonder if it would have been best had the South won the Civil War. Our Founding Fathers’ concept of limited government is dead.

IT'S THE DARK SKINNED GUY FOR CHRISSAKES!

WHERE THE WHITE WOMEN AT?

IT'S THE DAMN N*&^ER RIGGING I TELL YEAH!

SLAVERY TAKES MANY FORMS

SOUTHERN MAN

REPUBS DESPISE LINCOLN

I wrote awhile ago here that during President Obama's first term, the primary purpose of the Repubs was to ensure that he would not have a second term.

Tomasky from The Beast underlines this sentiment on the part of the Repubs. The Repubs will do anything to make sure that President Obama will not preside as President in his second term. Tomasky brings up the 'I' word for impeachment!

But this is my point: utter madness is what today’s Republicans do. You can present to me every logical argument you desire. Benghazi at the end of the day was a terrible tragedy in which mistakes, bad mistakes, were certainly made, and in which confusion and the CYA reflex led to some bad information going out to the public initially, but none of this remotely rises to the level of high crime. The IRS cock-up was just that, a mistake by a regional office. I get all this, and I agree with you.

But what we think doesn’t matter. I can assure you that already in the Pavlovian swamps of the nutso right, the glands are swelling. Theirs is a different planet from the one you and I inhabit. Most Republican members of the House live in districts where it is a given (among the white constituents, anyway) that Obama is a socialist; that’s he bent on bringing the United States of America down, or at least that he definitely doesn’t love the country and the Constitution (nudge nudge) the way they do; that he’s not a legitimate occupant of the Oval Office to start with. At the time he was sworn in to his second term, 64 percent of Republicans agreed that Obama was “hiding important information” about his background. Half thought in December 2012 that he stole the election.

The repubs ARE THE ENEMY.

There is no other way around this.

There will be continual shots by these repub shooters against the White House for the next three years plus attempting to erase the election results of 2012!

We must do everything we can to get the Democrats to the polls in 2014; we must eradicate the state repubs who have so much power; we must take back the House of Representatives and stay in control of the Senate (assuming we eradicate the filibuster powers of the minority)!

When Beckerhead or a hundred fascist pundits declare revolution and call for the violent overthrow of the government we must—each of us—message the United States Attorney's General Office and all State Attorney Generals to investigate these fascist pundits for espousing the violent overthrow of the U.S. Government.

We must begin to defend ourselves from the onslaught of this arms race begun by the right wing corporate fascists.

They will never stop their sharp shooting; they will never cease to bring disgrace upon the United States of America; and they will never cease to attack democracy by closing the voting booths and by disenfranchising our cities and towns.

WE ARE AT WAR PEOPLE.

SO GUN UP AND GET READY.

There is good news.

I mean if the repubs in the House Impeach our President, the Senate will take it as a joke.

I am not sure the repubs in the Senate could gather 35 Senators for impeachment.

The Trial would take about two days!

The fact is that THE REPUBS WILL COME UP WITH ANY EXCUSE AS TO WHY THEY LOST THE 2012 ELECTION:

These teabaggers are cheating every damn time they get a chance.

Just ask the Kock Bros!

The Civil War involved the intention of the Southern States to spread slavery across the continent.

Let us begin our own prayer session on 9/11/13; praying that the Bachmanns and the beckerheads and the lumbaughs and the savages and the hannitys and the boehners and mcconnnels and the rest of the repubs all turn into ashes by the 12^th!

BACHMANN SEES AND HEARS GOD!

Maybe we should try this.

GOD tells me 98% of all repubs are the devil.
