Don't give a ****,
I've been called racist, homophobic, bigoted, Yankee, Southern, White, Hate Mongering, Pro Life, Pro Choice, Pro-Religion, Neo-Con and just about everything in-between in my days here at CBid.
You know what?
IDGAF.
I don't answer to any of you. I don't answer to what you subscribe. I answer to what I answer to. This America that I live in isn't recognizable by our Founding Fathers anymore...oh, I'm sure they'd like something's that we've done with their grand experiment BUT they would shoot most of you for your beliefs and what they stood for when they carved this nation off the back side of an English penal colony. For the rest, they would've hung for treason for prostituting their beliefs in a 3 prong form of government that is now beholden to the all mighty dollar...be that from a banking system or a military system or just from a form of a bribe. This nation we live in now is a hybrid of what they designed. Don't believe me? Look at what they had to say about it. This is uncharted territory and I hope and pray for all that is still righteous in this republic that it restores it's former glory and conforms to it's pillars on which she was borne.
As for waving, showing or displaying this Dixie battle flag and thinking that there's some moral or upper ground to be salvaged it was lost back at Appomattox when Lee surrendered. Over. No more do over. Nothing left to cling to. Nothing left but the Republic for which She stands. Anything else is an affront to it. Some sort of insurrection that MUST be put down. Something that must not stand the light of day. Something that is abhorrent to all that we hold sanctified as a nation. If we don't go through that test of blood and unhold insurrection then we will most certainly be doomed to repeat the past and go through another Civil War. A war that will rip this nation into smaller parts. A nation that will be conquered and devoured by others that would like nothing more than to see Her consumed. A Nation weakened to the point of unraveling. THIS is what Lincoln railed against. He saw the wisdom in the Republic. He understood the evils that were against it then and the evils that would try to prevail after. A war that he was willing to wage against brother against brother to sanctify the Grand Experiment. He saw the document for what it was. He broke the holy sentiments to make sure She didn't unravel.
For those that STILL to this day, even against those that would put Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. aside like he didn't matter and what He stood for an uphold their belief that this battle flag is some sort of "heritage"...see it for what it is. A heritage where America as you all know it is shattered. Your Rights dissolved. The rights of certain people because the color of their skin is relegated to only a 3/5 minority. A nation that would be o divided now that as we know it we would still hold the hatred of racism...oh still still do and use Ol' Dixie as it's crutch. Death be upon it. It didn't serve any purpose. It was defeated then and it should and always be defeated. It's symbols of division won't stand. It's standing won't either. Those that still wave it should be looked down upon and should not deserve the common decency of it's citizenry. They should be lower standing than immigrants that want to be here legally. They want to destroy this nation. They wanted to see her hold humans down even after we removed the yoke of tyranny from King George and defeated his army and navy on the field of battle to create this nation. No, this flag should only remain in museums for those to look upon it with disgust. The same disgust that I hold against it for dare thinking for a second that any military insurrection would go unpunished with impunity. It's symbols and what it stood for lost. It lost against God, Country, and Man. It should not be upheld. Those that do should be persecuted like those in Germany are for waving any Nazi symbol! See it for what it is. Even the Germans understand the evil of the Nazi Third Reich and to this day destroy all of it's symbolism. Those in this nation are afforded certain liberties but to think for one second that it give them the moral high ground to put a race, creed or color down for it...NO! Your day is done. You were rebuked then and you shall be for evermore. You will be doomed for waving those signs of hatred and your hearts will be known for what you're doing.
You were defeated then. You're defeated now. You're defeated forever and no gates of Heaven will ever welcome you for your consumed hatred. Get over it and see it for what it was. A military insurrection against a standing nation to attempt some sort of division. A division borne from the color a Man was borne from against a Nation that told us we were ALL to be held equal.
Remove the flag from whatever you're clinging to because it's only hatred that binds you. Hatred against Mankind. Hatred against this great Nation. Hatred that no Man should hold in their heart because he did not create it. Hatred is borne from only ignorance. That ignorance we defeated because it was unjust. That ignorance was against all that God has created. That ignorance still stands in affront to all rational thinking as pure hate. See it for what it is and I implore those still trying to cling to it... do your due diligence and research what the Confederacy stood for. It was not moral, nor just nor something to die for. It was an affront to those then and it most certainly is to those now. Those that stood arm in arm in Mississippi and walked across bridges, those that dared to enter public schools in Alabama...those that gave their lives for the sheer hatred so certain people could hide behind their masks and wave "Ol' Dixie". No, it's time is done and it was brought down by one of your own! A person raised and steeped in hatred. A hatred so deep that he thought he would be perceived as some sort of hero for killing people in a church all because of the color of their skin. It needs to die and those that still cling to it are doomed for doing so. Your hearts are hardened. Your parents failed you and your Nation let you down. You're just some twisted misguided hate mongering killer that doesn't deserve the Rights this Nation affords you. YOU are a traitor. A conspirator against the Republic. A true hate rebel, and you will never get the retribution you seek. Hatred is hatred. In your heart, your tongue or in your soul it's still hatred and YOU are what is holding this nation from moving forward with the Grand Experiment. The kind that Jefferson, Addams, Revere, and Henry sought to carve out. You are a plague. A disease that is still here amongst us. A blight against Humanity that still breathes. An evil that should just die, but your heart still beats for it.
