"Well, Govan, if we must die, let us die like men."

"The Confederate flag does not belong in that (the new Appomattox exhibit), because the Confederacy never seceded, nor did it reunify," said Waite Rawls, Executive Director of the Museum of the Confederacy. "The states took their own action."
This shows that Rawls at the MOC is just as brainless as was Abraham Lincoln and that he totally supports Lincoln's view of the war against the South. That is who is telling the story of the Confederacy at the Museum of the Confederacy. As usual "reconstructed" Southerners financially support the promotion of Lincoln's view of the war.
Yes, I know that this leaves "reconstructed" Southerners feeling conflicted and often angry. When they make donations to the MOC or buy a MOC membership they are paying for people to promote the views that the SCV and unreconstructed Southerners oppose. This is not good mental health. We CANNOT rationally complain about Rawls while we ENABLE him and the MOC to humiliate us and disgrace our ancestors.
When we lack the strength of character to oppose in peacetime those who propagandize against us and hate our views and believe that the USA was fully justified in forcing our subjugation then I feel that all of our well-reasoned rhetoric and dialogue in support of 1) secession, 2) the honour and bravery of our ancestors and 3) the hope many of us have for reviving the issues of freedom and liberty which our ancestors fought and died to reestablish is little more than empty blather.
It simply does not occur to the "reconstructed" that the USA has failed to demonstrate any desire or make ANY attempt to win the hearts and minds of Southerner's. They have continued for 150 years finding new ways of making stricter laws for the purpose of stopping us from honouring our ancestors or presenting the symbols in public that mean so much to us.
I continue to be amazed at Southerners who volunteer to serve in the USA military and then expect to win the hearts and minds of the citizens of foreign nations following the invasion and bombing of their countries and our subsequent occupation of their not-now-sovereign native lands. It is time for us to reject the social and political matrix forced on us and on our children as we continue to send them to government schools for indoctrination against us. We must develop our own schools, institutions and museums that will preserve a culture of our own choosing. We do not need the statist MOC or its drone Rawls that perpetuates the views of Lincoln and the actions of those who committed atrocities against our ancestors. Otherwise we are doing little more than celebrating the violence committed against our ancestors and our own continuing subjugation.

ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right. I first heard the term "war of northern agression" when I was in the USMC at Camp Lejeune, and after hearing the other side of the story from some of the finest, most decent men I have ever met, I did a complete turnabout in my understanding of that horrible, genocidal undertaking by the central govt. and Mr. Lincoln
And I have always asked the same question, "why would someone from the south join the USA military?" I guess we've all got to eat.
You can drive a cab like I did after getting out. By the way, Camp Lejeune is about 30 minutes from here and where we shop at times.
