I’ve got some great material coming up that’s going to show just how nice and normal some of those pretty Southern White Nationalist faces at the LOS rallies are. I can’t wait to hear Connie’s defense."<br /><br />Well, Mr. Spelunker, most of Simpson's cherry picked quotes came from <a href="http://louisproyect.org/2011/06/14/was-the-civil-war-a-mistake/" rel="nofollow">THIS BLOG</a> in 2011.<br /><br />Two years or so later, in August 2013, I wrote here on Backsass, "Over the past year or two, though, there have been indicators that the League is changing -- radicalizing. It appears to have abandoned the counsel of wise elders to increasingly embrace the untried ideas of a younger folks," <br /><br />and <br /><br />"I have watched from a distance as the League has continued to radicalize, to accept the influence of white nationalists masquerading as Southern nationalists and to slowly develop a an indifference to Southern tradition and Christianity," <br /><br />and <br /><br />"Judging by the comments I've received from time to time as my disapproval of the League's radicalization has become known, I'm certainly not the only one dismayed by this change. These folks still support independence for the South, though. There have been suggestions that maybe it's time for a new group, one that remains true to the League's original, recently jettisoned ideals."<br /><br />The entire post is <a href="http://mybacksass.blogspot.com/2013/08/phone-booth-conventions.html" rel="nofollow"> HERE. Phone Booth Conventions</a><br /><br />I would just caution you not to believe everything Brooks Simpson posts at Crossroads. He knows I have developed deep differences with and misgivings about the League and the SNN but he will ignore than in order to smear. That's just what he does.<br /><br />And don't expect me to start heaping derision and condemnation on the League and the SNN, either. I disagree with them about some things; I don't hate them. <br /><br />BTW, why'd you take down your blog post about the kicked amplifier and the VaFlaggers?Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08696918266055510131noreply@blogger.com
