A Confederacy of Censors
4th May 2012
Yesteryear’s states’-rights, secession-prone freedom fighters have been replaced by watered-down tools who attach anti-smoking stickers to their Prius windows and vote Democrat.
These days you can hardly mention the Confederacy without the maggots crawling all over you.

The question unasked, of course, is why anyone would want to mention that cesspool of treason that was the Confederacy.

I objected to a poster of Che Guevera in my son’s Spanish class and was told I should be more tolerant. A kid made a presentation about how his g-g-grandfather fought in the Civil War and was sent home for bringing a Confederate battle flag. (The Confederacy did not have an official flag, despite Hollywood’s interpretation.)
“Cesspool of Treason” would be a good epitaph for the Obama Administration.
Texas joined the Union (big mistake, as it turned out) voluntarily and Texans believed they had the same right to walk away from the Union.

Texas also joined the Confederacy…another big mistake, as it turns out. There seems to be a theme here…
The Confederacy did have an official flag, adopted in March of 1861 and first flown over Montgomery, AL, the then-capitol.
The official flag underwent a few revisions until reaching its final configuration in May, 1861 and remained essentially unchanged until 1863.
In 1863 it was changed again to a white field with the battle-flag saltire in the upper canton. This remained the official flag until the end.
Throughout this period, the battle-flag was the best recognized symbol of the rebellion, and was considered the de facto ‘official’ flag, though it was never adopted as such.
None of which changes the fact that it is a traitor’s rag and should have been outlawed decades–if not at least a cenutry–ago.

I’m curious. How do you really feel about it?
