So, Brooks Simpson....


What did you think of the excerpts from the rough draft of Dumb Jock -- The Alex Austin Story? And how come you downloaded the cover?

Bigotry Against White Southerners On Display....

Connie Chastain wishes to remind us of how her mind works:

"
… all the heroes in my novels are Southern white men, and all the heroines are Southern white women. But then, a couple of the villains are Southern white men. However, MOST of the villains are yankee wimmin."

Apparently segregation (or outright exclusion) reigns supreme in her fictional world, too....

Brooks Simpson
Crossroads Blog

This is interesting to mull over. Apparently, since he chose to comment on it, he finds something objectionable, or at least noteworthy, about writing that makes heroes and heroines of Southern white people. Presumably, that is a no-no for people like Brooks Simpson; presumably, we should conclude that his mind doesn't "work that way," and thus the only portrayal of white Southerners he approves of in fiction and drama would be negative ones....

Keep in mind that he draws such conclusions as "...segregation (or outright exclusion) reigns supreme in her fictional world, too...." without having read my book... and since "too" implies in addition to, I have to wonder in which other world of mine he imagines that segregation reigns supreme... Ah, heck, he doesn't imagine any such thing... He's just lying, as usual.

When I was doing re-writes and edits of Southern Man, I wrote a letter to someone in the publishing industry. These three paragraphs are from that letter -- a description of how I knew the novel would be seen in certain quarters...apparently Simpson is in those quarters....
Southern Man is an atypical, offensive 100,000-word mainstream love story I wrote for the impolite purpose of honoring Southern, white, Christian males. I have the effrontery to portray the title character, Troy Stevenson — coal miner's grandson, corporate executive, and former college football star — in a positive light.

Contrary to prevailing American beliefs, Troy hates and harms no one, despite being culturally traditional and politically conservative. He's an honorable man who provides for his family and helps others as he can. But he's far from perfect. The novel's conflicts revolve around his personal weaknesses, chiefly a nascent drinking problem, the haunting family secret that underlies it, and the mistakes he makes confronting them.

If an admirable Southern hero isn't odious enough, Southern Man also commits the unpardonable cultural sin of dissing feminism. The heroine, Patty Stevenson, is a homemaker happily fulfilled by her husband and children. The villain comprises three women—an amoral 1980s material girl romantically obsessed with Troy and two radical feminists who help her file a false sexual harassment complaint against him after he rejects her advances.

Perhaps the most egregious cultural sin I have committed in Southern Man, though, is my refusal to take on the obligation so many Southern (and other) writers evidently embrace—to atone for the South's “sins” and accelerate its “rehabilitation” by portraying white Southerners, especially men, as evil racists, religious bigots/zealots, inbred idiots, philanderers, domestic abusers and/or rightwing terrorists. My characters are flawed but decent and personable, not the repulsive regional stereotypes all too common in pop culture.
Since Brooks Simpson apparently objects to positive portrayals of traditional, conservative Southern white folks, presumably, he prefers them to be portrayed in fiction and drama as evil racists, religious bigots/zealots, inbred idiots, philanderers, domestic abusers and/or rightwing terrorists.

Sorry. Not from my keyboard. There are gracious plenty other writers who'll slake this thirst for such portrayals....

Simpson & Wallace -- Masters of the False Dichotomy

Brooks Simpson writes:
But I bet she really doesn’t disagree that she’s not a Rainbow Confederate, and I’m simply agreeing with her self-assessment. And yet Connie doesn’t disagree with me.
(Quoting Connie): Link to where I have depicted the Confederacy of as a diverse society, culturally and racially tolerant. Link to ANY statements of mine that argue that the Confederacy was really about “fighting hate” or “fighting racism” and had nothing to do with slavery or white supremacy.
Now here’s Connie’s problem: she’s staked out some narrow ground for herself by daring someone to post that she’s said these things. Note, however, that she does not say whether she believes in them … just that she’s not expressed them in print. But let’s embrace the logical conclusion that Connie now accepts that the Confederacy has something to do with the efforts of white southerners to protect slavery and preserve white supremacy in an intolerant society. Watch her deny that she’s ever said that, either … and you’ll see that she’s just trying to be clever because she doesn’t want to share with everyone her understanding of the Confederacy.
Problem for who? Yep, that's pretty narrow ground but it's not my ground. It's not my problem that some people offer only two alternatives, usually one idea and its total opposite -- and try to fit you in one or the other.

There are two, and only two, alternatives you're allowed to choose from, according to these two verbal Procrusteans: Either the Confederacy was (1) a diverse society, culturally and racially tolerant that was really about “fighting hate” or “fighting racism” and had nothing to do with slavery or white supremacy or else is was (2) populated by people who didn't give a damn about their families, children, farms, shops, churches, communities, livelihood, etc. because they only cared about enslaving and oppressing helpless blacks...

Either way, leftist Dixie-bashers totally define Confederates of the past and Southerners today by their (imagined, or worse, assigned) racial beliefs.

Granted, Simpson doesn't go that far in this particular post but that mindset of seeing human beings as nothing more than their racial beliefs is prevalent among his ilk, and it has been implied numerous times.
Of course the Confederacy was not culturally and racially tolerant, and it was not about “fighting hate” or “fighting racism”. Neither was the United States. These are leftist notions that did not come to the USA until the 1960s. And those called Rainbow Confederates know it.

Simpson says I NOW accept that the Confederacy has something to do with the efforts of white southerners to protect slavery and preserve white supremacy in an intolerant society.

I have never NOT accepted it. I simply say that was not the only reason for secession. My position that the Southern states seceded to protect slavery and for other reasons has been clearly articulated on my blog, Facebook and elsewhere. Simpsons willingness to lie about this has been demonstrated before. http://one80dts.blogspot.com/2011/03/backsassin-yet-another-journalist.html

Here's another example of how he lies ... by omission. He sez, Note, however, that she does not say whether she believes in them [i.e., "rainbow" beliefs, such as that the Confederacy was racially tolerant] … just that she’s not expressed them in print. What he fails to mention is that I have expressed what I do believe in.

Incidentally, I disagree that Confederates fought to preserve white supremacy in an intolerant society because there was no threat to white supremacy and intolerance in the culture of the army that came South and made barbaric war on Southerners. There may have been a handful of northerners who believed in, or at least promoted, tolerance, but the politics and culture of the United States at the time was white supremacist and racially intolerant -- and to an extent, it still is.

My position on the war is, and always has been, that the Union had no moral authority for invading the South, laying it waste and keeping it's people in economic, cultural and social hardship for five generations afterward.

References in my blog to this belief are numerous...

180 Degrees True South

Brooks Simpson is a professor of history at a major state university who loves to denigrate other people's intelligence. I mention it because presumably it takes some level of intelligence to attain such a position. I don't know Hunter Wallace's educational level, but he can at least hitch two sentences together fairly well, so he's not a complete dimwit. Both of these men attempt to smear others who hold positions they disagree with -- but they have to lie in order to do it. The false dichotomy is one of their favorite methods for throwing off on somebody's beliefs.

Thus, if you don't agree with A you believe wholeheartedly in its total opposite, Z. Either the Confederacy was racially tolerant and fought "racism" or else Confederates were racist haters and nothing else. Now, these guys know A and Z aren't the only alternatives.   There is also B through Y (which, I note, is emphatically not "narrow ground.")  A person whose intelligence they are savaging may believe in numerous alternatives to A and Z but Simpson and his pet white supe, Wallace, have to falsely narrow it down to only two alternatives in order to (1) lie about the person's beliefs and (2) attack their intelligence.

As I noted, these men are not boneheads, so it isn't their intellect that is questionable here.

It is their integrity.

Sweet Southern Boys E-book Available Now

Shelby, Randy, and John Mark have been best friends since grade school. Growing up in a small town in south Georgia, they've petted and spoiled Shelby's little sister, Ainsley, hunted and fished, played football, studied, worked and worshipped -- together. The sons of close-knit families, they have been raised to be responsible, to revere God, and to love.

But as seniors in high school, they are accused of unspeakable crimes.  Branded criminals in headlines from coast to coast, persecuted by the justice system, abandoned by their community, their lives shattered and their futures jeopardized, they have no one to turn but their families, their faith and each other.

Sweet Southern Boys -- a coming-of-age story ... a tale of misandry run amok.
(Paperback version will launch in early August.)

Useless Information

More than onece, Brooks Simpson at Crossroads has brought up the subject of white Southerners (i.e., the KKK) killing and terrorizing ex-slaves after the war. Kevin Levin loves to lament the plight of slaves in the Confederacy (he doesn't appear to say much about the plight of these same slaves before the Confederacy) and Andy Hall loves to lament the plight, after the war, of ex-slaves who assisted their masters during the war and turned into pitiable buffoons at veteran gatherings afterward.

Wonder what they'd say about this...
Sick from Freedom shows that as many as 1 million of the freed slaves died from cholera or smallpox while the federal government, controlled by The Party of Lincoln for half a century after the war, did essentially nothing at all about it. Thousands of ex-slaves returned to work on the plantations where they were previously enslaved because the alternative was starvation and death from disease.

The main priority of The Party of Lincoln at that time (from 1865–1890) was its war of genocide against another colored race, the Plains Indians, in order to "make way for the railroad," as General Sherman himself announced. The U.S. army, aided by ex slaves known as "Buffalo Soldiers," eventually murdered some 60,000 Plains Indians, including thousands of women and children, while putting the rest of them into concentration camps known as "reservations."

http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/113789.html
Unless they can find some way to evilize white Southerners with this information, it's useless to them, regardless of how truthful it is, so I suspect their response to be dead, ringing silence and emain so until hell freezes over...

And there are still folks who say the yankees "shed their sin" of slavery...

FRAMED!

Mere hours after my news flash that "Victor 'Vic' Hatcher" was yet another made up profile of Corey D. Meyer, I got a Facebook message from Corey, again denying that he was the porno blogger. The entire thread, including time stamps, is posted at the end of this blog entry.

I figured that by messaging me, Corey was tryin' to tell me something -- he has a track record for telling on himself that way, messaging me when he gets impatient for me to "find" something on my own, just like the first time he messaged me about the porno blog back in March. So I took a quick peek at the Confederate Flagging blog to see what "Victor" was up to and -- lo, and behold! -- "Victor" has disappeared, the porno pics are back up, and the blogger is identified as ... MOI!

Yep, looks like Ol' Victor/Arie has been thrown under the porno bus. Corey is so mean to his fake profiles...uses them and then throws them away like an old Kleenex.

Impersonation is fraud. It is identify theft and strictly against Blogger rules. This case of identify theft has been reported to Blogger. Who knows how long it will take them to do anything about it. Meanwhile, I'm notifying my blog readers and Southern friends on Facebook about this vindictive attempt to frame me.

Identify theft is also against the law. Most statutes criminalize identify theft for the purpose of committing financial OR non-financial fraud.

It's unfortunate if these photos offend anyone -- they certainly offend me -- but I can't apologize for them because I have nothing to do with their existence or their appearance online. This has been somebody else's sick, degenerate project since March. My participation has been limited to denouncing it and attempting to expose whoever is behind it, to the extent that I can.

It's very simple. If Corey is not the porno blogger, all he has to do is post some proof, or at least neutralize the evidence against him I have collected and presented. Instead, he just says he didn't do it. He even tried to pin it on David Tatum, for cryin' out loud.

So now, here's this odious attempt to frame me as the owner/author of the porno blog but I'm not going to whine like Corey. I'm stating flat out, I not only deny owning and authoring the blog, I also denounce the porno blog both for its pornographic pictures -- something Corey did not do; he called them "funny" (and this person who thinks sexually degenerate photos online are funny teaches school kids...) and its denigration of the Confederate flag.

I state again, it is identity theft, fraud and simple hatefulness.

Evidence?

Blogger lists all my blogs on my legitimate profile. The identity-theft profile doesn't show them. It also doesn't show the list of blogs I follow -- and it would if it were legit. Fraudulent profile on left. My legit profile on right.

So Blogger has been notified that I'm being impersonated. The porno blog and the message thread have been cached. We'll see what happens next, and how long it takes....

You are fully obsessed aren't you Connie. I can tell you now and with a straight face...I am not responsible for the "Confederate Flagging" blog you claim I am. I suggest you look closer to home. I don't like using Blogger, but David Tatum has several blogs under his name that use Blogger. To me this looks like an inside job if I have ever seen one.

Sorry, Corey. I don't care what you tell me and with what kind of face. Your denials are hollow. You promoted that blog to me in this very FB messenger, with your Kindred Blood ID and as Robert Billy. You admitted that Robert Billy was a fake profile you made up to spy on the SHPG. That means everything you said as Robert Billy was a lie. When I recently posted screenshots of the messages where you admitted it, you said I had "photoshopped" it, implying the info was made up. No. You have a track record for lying and you have thoroughly discredited yourself.

Corey, when I accuse you of being a liar, I don't use what someone else claims about you. I use YOUR OWN LIES.

That whole "blog" is Brooks Simpson's temper tantrum because I disrespect him and his hatred of the South. It was created just to attack me, taken from a phrase I coined (Dixie-bashing Bloggers). It is full of lies. You can look at it and call ME obsessed? Only people with little sense and less scruples can take it seriously. Nearly every post over there is an attack on me.

This is just an example: He said I lied about Tyler Ratke's profile disappearing, but I didn't lie. By my experience, Tyler DID disappear, because I didn't know Facebook says "page not found" when you've been blocked (nobody has ever blocked me, so how would I know?).

He has posted a mountain of lies about me at Crossroads, too -- has claimed two or three times that I've "admitted" stalking him on my blog -- I've made no such admission. You couldn't find it on my blog if your life depended on it. Like you, he lies flat out, and he lies by implication and innuendo. You can't prove ANYTHING about ME by what Brooks Simpson says. He's as big a liar as you are.

I have lots of author services jobs in progress. When I get a little caught up I'm going to rip "Dixie Bashin'" to shreds, just like I ripped your phony porno blog to shreds.

Yes, you gave me the link to the porno blog to try to get a rise out of me. You created it to insult the flag and create anger in Southern heritage advocates, but how would that happen if nobody knew about it? So you started sending the URL around. It's your site. You built it. It wouldn't surprise me if you even took some of the photos.

One quick note...at one time in the past when I was using Billy Yank as my handle I got into a heated blasting of Michael Cushman or Palmetto Patriot. Someone then started using that name to post on a porno discussion board and posted comments...about 900 of them under my name...Billyank1864 and when you did a google search for that those post came up first. I never found out who actually did it but I believed at the time it was Michael...so I began posting stuff on that site under the name Palmetto Patriot and used a big confederate flag as my avatar and even posted a link to his site. He found out about it and blamed me...I denied it and eventually deleted the account.

The point is that I felt bad about doing that to Michael and vowed I would not do it again...and I have not.

If the quotes substantiated anything, Corey, he wouldn't have to embellish them with his lying commentary, now would he? That's just like you and your ilk. You believe it because you share his hatred.

I call you a liar, Corey, not because somebody else says you are, BUT BECAUSE YOU LIED TO ME. Directly to me. Your "Robert Billy" message thread established you as a liar and totally destroy your credibility. As far as I'm concerned, at least, you're beyond rehabilitating.

NEWS FLASH! Vic Hatcher Ain't Vic Hatcher!

Well, well, WELL ... what have we here? It seems that "Victor 'Vic' Hatcher" -- student at the University of Virginia who was so stupid he let his friends upload pornographic photos to his philosophy project blog -- is, in reality race car diver and Hollywood hunk Arie Luyendyk, Jr.


What's that smell coming from your computer? Didn't you notice it, folks? Didn't you notice a powerful and obnoxious odor of mendacity from your computer?... There ain't nothin' more powerful than the odor of mendacity... You can smell it. It smells like hypocrisy -- to paraphrase Tennessee Williams.

This cinches it. There is absolutely no reason to believe a thing Corey Meyer says. He is morally and ethically deficient. A proven liar. Slimy. Smelly.

More info on Arie here: bit.ly/LviaSp More pics here: bit.ly/LTaLN4

Many thanks to Border Ruffian who brought Arie to my attention two days after the pic went up at the 'Confederate Flagging' blog.. I hardly ever watch TV and I'm not a race fan, so I might not have found him for months, if ever.

It'll be interesting to see what Corey does with the Confederate Flagging blog now. Will he keep digging himself deeper into the hole and fabricate yet another lie to cover up all the ones that have gone before? Or will man up and admit that he's the porno-blogger and acknowledge all the other lies he's told from his motivation of animosity for the Confederate flag and Southern heritage/

"VICTOR 'VIC' HATCHER" APOLOGIZES...

... FOR CONFEDERATE FLAGGING BLOG PICS

The following went up on the Confederate Flagging blog Friday, June 15. Time stamp sez 6:10 p.m.
Friday, June 15, 2012

I want to take this moment to put forth my most sincere apology to anyone, especially my instructor and the University of Virginia staff and/or students who, may have seen this site before I actually launched the site. It came to my attention through my instructor as he checked and verified our class blogs that someone had posted inappropriate pictures on my blog. This blog is going to be used as a sounding board for discussion in a class that I am taking this summer in Philosophy dealing with the effect symbols. I chose to do my discussion on the Confederate Flag. To my dismay, some of my friends uploaded an number of saucy images to this page and for that I am truly sorry.

Check back soon for updates on my discussion about the Confederate flag and its symbolism in modern America.

Thanks for your understanding.

Victor "Vic" Hatcher
Aw, the contrition brings a tear to your eye, don't it? I got a lump in my throat....


I do have a few questions and observations, howsomever.

But first, I note the "coincidence" that "Victor" makes his apologetic first post on the very self-same day that Corey Meyer crawls out from wherever he's been to post at The Blood of My Kindred. Ya know, he's been AWOL over there since June 9, 2012 at 9:36 pm when he posted, "Good, let her….she can also take a flying leap off a bridge while she is at it." He was talking about moi... And he hasn't posted on his Facebook wall since June 10...

Interesting how "they" "both" found time to post on the Internet on exactly the same day...

The first thing I notice about University of Virginia student "Victor 'Vic' Hatcher," is that he has the punctuation skills of a elementary schooler, kinda like the grammar skills of college graduate Rob "Tu Quoque" Bakur.... In yer first sentence, Vic, the comma should go before "who" -- not after it. And this phrase -- through my instructor as he checked and verified our class blogs-- should be set off by commas. And didja mean "effect of symbols"? But that's a bit petty, so let's move on.

If the blog is to be about the effect of symbols, and the symbol "Vic" chose is the Confederate flag, why is the blog named Confederate Flagging? Is he gonna discuss the effect of the Confederate flag, which is an object, or of flagging, which is an activity?

If the blog is to be for a summer project, why was it was created in March -- March 12th, according to Blogger. It made the Google index March 27. Our boy "Vic" must've been a Boy Scout, and the motto "Be Prepared" really "took" with him.... He signed up for his blog more than a month before summer enrollment began....
http://www.virginia.edu/registrar/calendar.html#1126

If the pornographic (not saucy, Vic, not "inappropriate" but pornographic) pictures were uploaded, to his dismay, by some of his friends instead of himself -- why did "Vic" create a blog using the name "Rebel Flag" instead of "Victor 'Vic' Hatcher", particularly since it was for a class assignment?

And how did his "friends" happen to have access to the controls for his blog? Was it a team blog? If it was his blog only, did they come up to him one day and say, "We'd like access to post on your blog, not just comment," and did he just up and give it to them?

Fishy. Very, very fishy.

The porno pics -- at least, some of them -- have been up there since Google indexed the blog on March 27, because blog author "Rebel Flag" wrote a description that showed up in the Google index that so indicated... "A Blog About The Confederate Flag & Its Uses. Tuesday, March 27, 2012. Nice & Naughty Confederate Flags. Posted by Rebel Flag at 7:13 p.m."


How come neither "Vic" nor his philosophy instructor, discovered the porno pics until last Thursday, June 9?????

I wonder who his philosophy instructor is.... Here's the faculty and staff of the Philosophy Department at the University of Virginia...
http://www.virginia.edu/philosophy/FacStaff.htm

Obviously, Vic isn't a graduate student in the philosophy department, cuz here's a list of their names:
http://www.virginia.edu/philosophy/GradStuds.htm

Of course, you don't have to be a graduate student in philosophy to take a course in it over the summer.... but you do have to be a student.... and, when you do a search of all University students with the last name of Hatcher.... guess what! Victor ain't listed!
http://www.virginia.edu/cgi-local/ldapweb

Here are the folks at the University of Virginia named "Hatcher" (I've marked the students with a big, red asterisk):

Look, I know a cock-and-bull story when I see one. The blog was created by Corey Meyer in March 2012, because that was a very active month for the Virginia Flaggers, and he hates the Virginia Flaggers. In fact, it's a toss up who/what Corey hates more -- the Confederate flag, the
SCV, the Virginia Flaggers, or any Confederate descendant and/or heritage advocate who respects the flag. But he has given special attention to the Virginia flaggers on his blog.

Corey likes pictures of babes in tiny little clothes with Confederate flag motifs. He may like pictures of chicks in tiny little clothes without Confederate flag motifs (or without clothes at all), but of course, he can't use those to besmirch Southern heritage, so we don't see such on his blog. With his "Confederate Flagger" blog, he could kill two birds with one stone...indulge his obsession with near-naked (and in some cases, totally naked) wimmin, and fan his obsession with trashing the Confederate flag.

But...he slipped up. He was too insistent on pushing the porno blog and getting a rise out of heritage folks.

On March 17, he promoted it to me in a Facebook messaging thread using his profile Kindred Blood.

On May 9, he promoted it to me in a Facebook messaging thread using his fake profile Robert Billy -- which he admitted was a fake profile.

And on June 8, he promoted it using his fake profile Tyler Ratke, first on his wall and then in a thread on Backsass, pretending to disapprove of it. He also posted it in another Southern heritage group, pretending disapproval, but it was taken down in that group fairly quickly. It was possibly Southern Heritage, Fight For It or Lose It, because a few days before, "Tyler" had posted on Backsass seeking help to access that group. There's no telling how many others he sent the link to.

Yes, this is not proof. There is a very, very slender chance that the anti-Confederate porno blogger is not Corey Meyer. But given his extremely questionable ethics and his long, smelly, and proven track record for lying, why should anyone believe his denials? Until there is proof that the blogger is somebody else -- not some made-up student with an idiotic "explanation" nobody with sense can believe -- the charge stands.

Kevin Levin Ain't the Voice of God

Kevin Levin writes:
I suspect that the Confederate flag story out of Lexington will go viral by the end of the day. No doubt, we will be treated to the standard mainstream media narrative of an unfinished Civil War as well as the overly defensive posture of the SCV. Already we’ve heard from Brandon Dorsey, who is the local SCV commander in Lexington:
As far as I am concerned, this is little different that some states shutting down all their public schools to avoid desegregation and then claiming their motivation for closing them is of no concern because they screwed over everyone.
Oh brother. Pass the hyperbole. The SCV and other heritage groups have staked everything on the display of the Confederate flag. It’s all or nothing. Any attempt at limiting its visibility is seen as an attack on their history and heritage as if they alone have a monopoly on the Southern past.
What tripe! Just because the SCV's defense of the flag is the only thing Kevin Levin pays attention to does not meant that's the only thing the SCV cares about or works on. Sheesh.
The days when the Confederate flag represented a people, a culture, and a history are over. Thankfully, we now live in a time when an ever wider spectrum of voices are able to make their voices heard and they are adamant that the flag ought not to be displayed on public property and/or supported with taxpayer dollars. Why? Because of its history and nothing the SCV or anyone else says or does can change the flag’s symbolic connection to a history of violence and racism. I suspect that most reasonable people would agree that there are settings in which its display is appropriate and even necessary, but that is a discussion the SCV will not consider.
The days when the Confederate flag was connected with violence and racism are over. Today, hysterical charges of racism are the last gasp of the sick and weakened left struggling for relevance. Thankfully, we now live in a time when all voices are supposed to be heard. Unfortunately, people like Kevin Levin apply that principle selectively. Regardless, Southern heritage advocates are slowly turning the tide of public opinion despite the best efforts of Dixie-bashing bloggers like Levin to prevent it. Keeping Southern history and heritage "evil" is what "memory" type blogs like his are all about.
This has nothing to do with hating the South or “evilizing” the Confederacy. That is as unimaginative an argument as one can make and as we have seen it will lead to the SCV’s continued marginalization in society. The SCV’s decision to stake everything on the flag reflects a simplistic understanding of the very history and heritage that they claim to defend. Instead of wasting limited resources on court cases, television ads, and airplane banners they should be thinking of creative ways to share the rich history of the Confederacy and their ancestors in their local communities.
It has everything to do with hating the South and evilizing the Confederacy, which is Kevin Levin's whole motivation for teaching, blogging and writing. The SCV isn't marginalized in society because of anything it does; it is marginalized for the same reason family, religion and tradition are attacked and marginalized by the insidious forces participating in Gramsci's long march though the institutions. Moreover, the SCV hasn't staked everything on the flag. The are defending it because it is the number one target of the heritage erasers....
When it comes to the Confederate flag the SCV is doomed to fail and they deserve everything they get.
Ah, yes. The hubris... the arrogance. Spoken as if by someone who thinks it's the voice of God speaking...

It ain't.

He doesn't seem to realize that the courts aren't the only legitimate way to change things.... There's already efforts organizing to replace at the ballot box Lexington's elected officials who are evilizing the South and its history and heritage by targeting its symbols for erasure.

Strange blog fellows....

There's a discussion in the comments at Crossroads about Brooks Simpson's pet white supremacist, Hunter Wallace. Apparently some of the regulars over there aren't comfortable with the forum Simpson gives to Wallace. One of them asks, "Any chance of him getting permanent deleted?"

Simpson pontificates, "I make my decisions on a case-by-case basis. In this instance Mr. Wallace has not attacked another poster and has offered an explanation of a term much in use in some places. Should I ban the posting of comments with which I disagree simply because I disagree with them?"

Why not, Simpson? You ban mine because you disagree with them.

He continues, "I suspect that Mr. Wallace is not making any converts here; what interests me is how much he has in common with those Confederate “heritage” advocates who feel uncomfortable about his acceptance of the role of white supremacy in the Old South and the Confederacy. I suspect they share much more in common when it comes to present-day attitudes about race, as we’ve seen."

Wonder which Confederate "heritage" advocates he's talking about. I haven't noticed that many of us feeling uncomfortable about Wallace's acceptance of the role of white supremacy in the Old South and the Confederacy. I think, quite the opposite from what Simpson suggests, it's that most Confederate heritage advocates do not share his blatant racism and resent his using Confederate heritage to promote it.

Most of us know quite well that white supremacy existed in the Old South and the Confederacy. We also know it existed in the north and the USA as well, and we simply don't relate to folks like Brooks Simpson and his Dixie-bashing brethren giving the north a pass by ignoring its white supremacy and its crucial role in slavery to focus their total evilization campaign on the South.
