Battle of Aiken, SC - 2009

'The 15th annual re-creation of the Battle of Aiken kicked off Friday with 3,000 school children slated to watch almost 1,000 Confederate and Union re-enactors portray the 1865 Civil War battle. That battle saw Confederate forces defeat a Union cavalry feint on Aiken and Graniteville before the Union troops turned on Columbia, capturing the state capitol, just months before the Confederacy collapsed. The re-creation — with more than $1 million in uniforms, tents, cavalry charges and equipment, including 15 dueling cannons — continues today and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. off Interstate 20 in Aiken.'

Southern Avenger: 'Affirmative Action GOP'

'Despite any minor conservative attributes, Bobby Jindal, Sarah Palin and Michael Steele don’t possess any extraordinary qualities or demonstrably different principles from countless other Republican governors, congressman and senators. In an era when Americans are screaming for change, Jindal, Palin and Steele don’t exactly represent a big departure from the Republicanism of the last eight years or even enough of a noticeable difference from the current administration. What the GOP seems to be trying to offer is not a new path, a renewal of principles or any new hope – but affirmative action – as they push female and minority leaders to the forefront to play identity politics in combating America’s first black president.'

Ron Paul article: 'On Transparency of the Fed'

'The first step is to pass legislation I will soon introduce requiring an audit of the Federal Reserve so we can at least get an accurate picture of what is happening with our money.  If this audit reveals what I suspect, and Congress has finally had enough, they can also pass my legislation to abolish the Federal Reserve and put control of the economy’s lifeblood, the currency, back where it Constitutionally belongs.  If Congress refuses to do these two things, the very least they could do is repeal legal tender laws and allow people to choose a different currency in which to operate.  If the Fed refuses to open its books to an audit, and Congress refuses to demand this, the people should not be subject to the whims of this secretive and incompetent organization.'

Don't let inflation happen to you!

Germany inflation 1923All my life I have heard the term 'inflation'. But what does it really mean? If you look it up on Wiki you'll find: 'In economics, inflation is a rise in the general level of prices of goods and services in an economy over a period of time. The term "inflation" once referred to increases in the money supply (monetary inflation); however, economic debates about the relationship between money supply and price levels have led to its primary use today in describing price inflation.'

This is really the debate, isn't it? Most of the Big Government people describe it as just a general price increase. Those who look into the issue and are skeptical of government (especially the Austrian school) tend to describe it as in increase in the amount of money in society - which in today's world is due to government action.

Paper currency is only a medium of exchange because of the force and power of the central government. The slip of paper itself has no real value. And it is not representative of gold held by the government - those days were officially ended by Nixon. That means that the Federal Reserve (the US central bank) can print as many dollars as they wish. Naturally, this lowers the value of all other dollars in the world. But the first people who receive the dollars - the government itself, government contractors, the banks, etc - are able to spend the 'new' dollars first at the price levels which existed before the adjustment which will follow their 'additional' spending. The people who do not get the money first - rural folks, poor people, the vast majority of people in society really - suffer. This is one of the effects of inflation.

In 1923 Germany suffered run-away inflation. The picture here is from that era and you can see the children stacking the currency to the ceiling. It was basically worthless. That is the danger of paper currency - governments can very easily destroy its value. Governments have this natural tendency too. Rather than raise taxes, which is a politically dangerous thing to do, they can just print more dollars and give them to their friends and such. The recent bailouts are perfect examples of this. The importance of protecting ourselves from the destructive power of the Federal Reserve has never been greater. Buy a little gold or silver (coins or bullion) if you can. Real money - gold and silver - does not depend upon government force for their value. It has been chosen by people throughout history as the preferred money of most of the world. Government paper can never compete with gold and silver in the long run. And in times of crisis, history shows that a little real money can go a long ways.

'South teams will still be called the Rebels after some alumni raised concern over changing the name, Kohut said. But the school’s 1,400 students — nearly 70 percent minority — will no longer have to walk across an image of a Confederate soldier inlaid in the school’s entryway.'

Maryland's State song under attack

'"Maryland, My Maryland," the state song which "spurns the Northern scum," stings the legislators, too, even if some don't know the words. "Actually, I really have never paid a lot of attention to the words," said Delegate Pamela Beidle, D-Anne Arundel, who introduced a bill in the House to change the lyrics of the state song to pay tribute to Maryland rather than express "Confederate sympathies."'

Another open assault on Southron culture and identity - and a passionately defiant pro-South anthem. Attacks like this are the great benefit we receive from government gone mad. Do they ever do anything right? Not that I can see.

Congress considers limiting free speech and property rights

No free speech in the evil Empire'More and more Democrats in Congress are calling for action that Republicans warn could muzzle right-wing talk radio. Representative Maurice Hinchey, a Democrat from New York is the latest to say he wants to bring back the "Fairness Doctrine," a federal regulation scrapped in 1987 that would require broadcasters to present opposing views on public issues. "I think the Fairness Doctrine should be reinstated," Hinchey told CNNRadio. Hinchey says he could make it part of a bill he plans to introduce later this year overhauling radio and t-v ownership laws.'

We already live in a pseudo-fascist Empire which militarily controls and exploits most of the world. That was not evil enough for many Congressmen, apparently. Now they are openly talking more and more like true fascists. From their own words we can see that the Feds are all too eager to dictate what we can say and own. In that respect they are just like the bunch who ran (and brought destruction to) Fascist Italy, National Socialist Germany and Soviet Russia.

Southern National Congress Denounces 'False Stimulus' Bill

'On behalf of the fourteen State Delegations to the Southern National Congress (SNC), the SNC Board of Governors announced today its strong opposition to the stimulus-and-bailout bills now making their way through the U.S. Congress. We are deeply concerned about our fellow Southerners who have lost their jobs, their homes, or the value of their retirement accounts. We pledge ourselves to help wherever we can, and we encourage all Southerners to help relieve the suffering of the jobless and homeless. However, no so-called "stimulus bills" solve our economy's problems. In fact, more government pork-and-spending will make things worse. Government spending will impede a genuine recovery by further weakening the U.S. dollar and increasing the growing risk of hyper-inflation. Make no mistake, the two bills on the table are spending bills, pure and simple. They contain "so much pork that you'd think Jimmy Dean wrote them himself."'

'Obama has been expected for weeks to announce the deployment of as many as three combat units comprising up to 17,000 troops; top Pentagon officials have said they envision two of the units arriving in Afghanistan by the end of spring and a third during the summer. U.S. military planners have been considering sending two Army brigade combat teams, each with about 3,500 soldiers, and a larger Marine task force of a number expected to approach 10,000 troops. The Pentagon is already sending about 2,200 support troops known as enablers and an Army combat aviation brigade of 2,800 soldiers, in addition to an Army combat brigade of 3,800 soldiers that deployed last month in eastern Afghanistan. The expected U.S. build-up would increase the total number of Western forces, including troops from other NATO countries, to around 100,000 troops.'

Greetings from Hungary to Dixie

I study English at a university in Hungary. I am writing my BA thesis about the culture of the South. I was looking for people from the Southern states to supply my BA thesis with firsthand information about current issues. I got in touch with people from Dixie who told me a lot about your history and culture, and the controversies. I feel that I am beginning to understand your frame of mind. At least I hope so.

I have been intrigued by Southern culture and the Southern accent for quite a long time. I cannot really explain why. It is said- I have read it in a book- that we Europeans can see the differences between the South and the rest of the US, and your effort of preserving your traditions is fascinating to us, because of our fears of globalization and multiculturalism, furthermore we also admire the South’s long-standing resistance. It might be true. There is, however, another thing I find appealing, namely your patriotism. I have been asking people from Dixie about their views on the War for Southern Independence, the Confederate battle flag, and secession. Some of them are fierce defenders of the cause, others do not care so much, or are even against secession and flying the flag. In one point, though, they all agree; they all think Southern culture is unique, they all believe the South is the most beautiful place on earth, and they all passionately love their homeland.

When I say that I am writing about the Southern states, I get strange looks. People associate the South immediately with the KKK. What is more interesting, that when I ask you questions about your culture, the first thing you do is to declare you are not racists. I do not think that we are so race oriented in Central Europe. It is nothing to boast of, but we have enough ‘intra-racial’ controversies within the region, and among ourselves. We might have different cultural backgrounds, and speak different languages, but I can see similarities between your history and present situation, and ours. In a book I have been reading about the South, I found the following statement about Reconstruction: the white South had suffered a cruel and consciousless reign of a vengeance, which makes the Treaty of Versailles appear sweet and Christian by comparison. The treaty the author referred to is what we call the Treaty of Trianon (1920), which regulated the borders of Hungary. The signatories were: France, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom and United States. This meant that Hungary lost over two-thirds of its territory and two-thirds of its inhabitants. The beneficiaries of this adjustment were the neighbouring countries. I think it is very interesting that Hungary was brought up in comparison with Reconstruction, but we might have clashing opinions regarding this issue. However, I wish you success, prosperity, and a glorious future as an independent nation.

My best wishes to y’all.

-H from Hungary

What's Wrong With Open Borders?

'Just as government officials had feared, the drug violence raging in Mexico is spilling over into the United States. U.S. authorities are reporting a spike in killings, kidnappings and home invasions connected to Mexico's murderous cartels. And to some policymakers' surprise, much of the violence is happening not in towns along the border, where it was assumed the bloodshed would spread, but a considerable distance away, in places such as Phoenix and Atlanta...And drug smugglers kidnap illegal immigrants in clashes with human smugglers over the use of secret routes from Mexico...[I]nvestigators believe Arizona and Atlanta are seeing the worst of the violence because they are major drug distribution hubs thanks to their webs of interstate highways. In fact, drug officials have dubbed Atlanta "the new Southwest border," said Jack Killorin, a former federal drug agent and director of the Atlanta region's High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area task force.'

That right there, along with myriad other issues which directly harm the Southron People, is what's wrong with Washington's open-border policy!  Kindly note how the author of this article begins: 'Just as government officials had feared...'  Just as the feds and their lapdogs at all levels 'feared?'  Folks, don't be fooled by this propaganda!  Oh yes, they have always known the disaster open borders have caused and will continue to cause, but never have they lamented over the negative impact of this - that is, on us Southrons.  Both 'mainstream' political parties are vying for the 'honour' of being the political party that bought votes by granting illegals amnesty and citizenship, thereby even further dominating the system for the foreseeable future.

They know that, should their respective plans succeed to, among other things, do this, we Southrons and others throughout this empire will be completely disenfranchised and subjected to an un-Godly expansion of what we've already been facing for far too long.  'Our' handlers have always known this - all of this - yet they continue to proceed with this agenda.  Dixie is merely an expendable possession to the yankee-run federal government.  Southrons are not citizens under this system; we're nothing more than its subjects - its serfs!  Dixie has long been a separate nation, but isn't it time we Southrons lived in an independent nation-state - with a government that actually carries out one of the few, most basic tasks with which it is charged?

Obama stumps for massive government theft

'Mr. Obama used the event to hammer home what he called the benefits of his program of spending and tax breaks, promising that it would create or save nearly 80,000 jobs in Indiana, give 2.5 million state residents a $500 tax credit and provide health care, unemployment benefits and job training for tens of thousands more. Bringing it down to the most local level, he suggested his plan would help rebuild U.S. Highway 31 and build an overpass in Elkhart.'

This is the sort of failed economic thinking that gives us repeated bubbles and busts - focusing on one sector of the public and not the whole. Sure, the Feds can steal billions from productive tax payers and reallocate these funds to failing industries or government spending projects, but this does not benefit everyone. It benefits those who receive the stolen loot (the unions, the CEO's, banks, etc) and hurts the economy as a whole. As well, the massive pumping of money into the system that the Federal Reserve is doing is stealing value from all dollars in the world. Morally, this can only be considered theft and is highly destructive to the economy. Obama needs to read Henry Hazlitt's 'Economics in One Lesson' - chapters four (on public works projects) and fourteen (on saving failed industries).

Japanese secession?

'As the national and regional economies worsen, industrial production plummets and tens of thousands of workers lose their jobs, what should the Kansai region do? Secede from Japan. That's the proposal Osamu Tanaka, chairman of Hanshin Expressway Co. Ltd., made at the annual Kansai Economic Seminar, an annual two-day gathering of the region's senior business leaders that concluded Friday.'

Article: TV review: Lincoln behind the myths

´...While Lincoln has been more posthumously revered than any other American president, while he lived he was as hated as he was loved. And lest anyone think that the whole world today loves the 16th president, Gates introduces us to some modern-day Confederate die-hards. And as further proof of how complex feelings about Lincoln can be, Gates talks to African American members of a largely white Confederate heritage group who are unapologetic about their participation.´

President Jefferson Davis statue coming to Mississippi?

´Confederate President Jefferson Davis, branded a traitor in his own country, is memorialized at statehouses across the South. But not in Mississippi, where he lived out his remaining days. A bill to accept a statue of Davis from the Sons of Confederate Veterans is now the latest skirmish in the long battle over Confederate history, often fought on Southern Capitol lawns and rotundas.´

The suckers and the thieves

'The recent debate over the nearly $900 billion economic stimulus plan and revelations of tax problems by three Obama administration appointees have voters angrily jamming phone lines on Capitol Hill to air their frustrations to their elected representatives.... "They can make the laws, but they don't have to abide by the laws," [one caller] complained. "It's only we taxpayers." Those bitter words are like spring rain to nonprofit watchdog groups across the spectrum, who are seeing big boosts in interest.... "I think the average American is looking at their taxes during tax time and saying 'Wow, I pay my taxes. Why aren't these guys?' " she said.'

Bill would require paid Confederate holiday in SC

'A black state senator is pushing a bill that would require South Carolina cities and counties to give their workers a paid day off for Confederate Memorial Day or lose millions in state funds.'

At first glance, this would seem a strong advancement for the pro-South movement. If we were fascists or socialists, this would be true. But as liberty-loving patriots who want as little government intervention (taxation, regulation, legislation, foreign wars, etc) in any form as possible in our lives, this plan does not meet muster. The backers of the bill dismiss any talk of the cost, but the money must be taken from someone in order to be given to the State workers for the paid holiday. Reading the article, we can also see the threats from Columbia to the rest of the State if they were to object to the added cost. Of course, the people who are opposed to our culture and identity would never hesitate to use the power of government to ram their agenda down our throats. However, the society we wish to live in is one where our culture is respected not due to government decree, theft and redistribution of wealth - but because our people are left alone to live out their lives in their own land as they see fit.

Confederate flag taken down for Obama in Virginia

'The historic Virginia city has for years permitted the flying of Confederate flags on Jan. 19 to mark the birthday of Civil War general and home-state hero Robert E. Lee. But during the four days celebrating Mr. Obama - the country's first black president - no Stars and Bars were in sight.'

Temporarily saved from another Federal power-grabbing scheme

´President Barack Obama's push to revamp the costly and inefficient U.S. healthcare system was facing delay even before Tom Daschle, who was chosen to head the initiative, withdrew his nomination as health secretary.´

So, it is the central regime´s role to make things more efficient? haha! That simply can not be taken seriously by any one who gives it any thought at all. There is nothing (thank Heavens!) efficient about the Feds. This is simply another power-grab by them gone awry. They are thieves who tripped over themselves and blew the robbery.

The Feds side with government school against Confederate flag

Another case of the Feds backing up one of the thousands and thousands of schools they ultimately control across the vast Empire in their continual assault on liberty and especially any sign of cultural identity from one of their conquered peoples. Always in the name of helping the oppressed or discriminated against, the Feds assume more and more control.

Obama pokes fun at General Robert E Lee?

'The first African-American president began by poking fun at the club's historical roots. "I know that many you are aware that this dinner began almost 100 years ago as a way to celebrate the birthday of General Robert E. Lee," Obama said, referring to the man who commanded the Confederate army during the Civil War. "If he were here with us tonight, the general would be 202 years old. And very confused." ... The Alfalfa Club was started by four Southerners in Washington's Willard Hotel in 1913.'

Illegal alien marks one year in Chicago church, calls for amnesty

'An illegal immigrant who has sought sanctuary in a Chicago church to avoid deportation for the past year says she'll keep calling for immigration reform. Flor Crisostomo has defied a deportation order to Mexico while living at the Adalberto United Methodist Church.'

Naturally, we should permit our feelings to over-ride the law and allow her entire family to join her in Illinois and then change our laws to allow all of Mexico to join her. We could also provide her family (and eventually her entire nation) with government schooling, housing, welfare and the rest - that would be the complete socialist dream, right? Meanwhile, we have the opportunity to pay more taxes to support all these government handouts while dwindling to a tiny minority in our own land. Yes, it's a leap from one person to an entire country. But what is being advocated, if carried out completely, is nothing short of the above.

Palestinians in Alabama? Yep, thanks to the Feds

Having no respect for the historic culture and peoples of Dixie, the Federal Government floods our land with aliens from every corner of the planet (in this case from a culture and religion entirely alien to the South) in an obvious attempt to destroy our unique identity.
