Never Let a Good Crisis go to Waste
War on the South
In the aftermath of the vicious South Carolina murders, hard left ideologues are pushing for a new chapter in the former War Between the States that ended 150 years ago. While many states have removed the Confederate battle flag from their capitol grounds with the notion that our flag, the American flag reflects unity, this is just the start according to those who want to stoke the flames of race. The most absurd demand is for Confederate solider monuments to be destroyed and for all historical references to Southern heritage such as street names be removed.
When General Lee surrendered at the Appomattox Court House in Virginia, the war officially ended. In the aftermath, the government sought to bind the wounds of our country by welcoming all Americans back into the Union. The effort to purge history of the great war between Americans and Southern heritage is the same tactic being used by Isis in the middle east. Groups like the NAACP need to examine their own history before they point any fingers. Perhaps in good faith they can revoke the life time membership granted to the racist and anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan and apologize for their racist James Byrd ad which ran during the 2000 presidential elections. Appealing on the basis of race has consequences. Now is the time to come together on the basis of what binds us as one people and one race in the greatest nation on earth.
