Don’t Tear Down the Confederate Battle Flag

Like many Southern boys, I grew up with two flags hanging in my room — an American flag and a Confederate battle flag. The American flag was enormous, taking up much of one wall. It was the “1776” flag, with 13 stars in a circle in the field of blue. My grandmother bought it for me on the bicentennial, and for years it was a treasured possession. The flag took on a special meaning later in life, when I learned more of a family history that included service with General Washington, suffering at Valley Forge.

The Confederate battle flag was much smaller, and it hung over my bookshelf. We bought it at the Shiloh battlefield in Tennessee, where one of my Confederate ancestors fought and where Albert Sidney Johnston died — the general that many considered the great hope of the Confederate Army in the West. My Confederate forefathers went on to fight at Vicksburg, at the battles of Franklin and Nashville, and in countless skirmishes across Tennessee and Mississippi. I grew up looking at old family pictures, including men who still wore their Confederate uniform for formal portraits — long after the war had ended.

  5. Global Research suggests a possible misdeed. Makes sense and plausible as this
    is what they do. Ex., in the 50's during the Nevada nuclear testing, they placed
    our boys at various feet from the explosion site, out in the open, to see how the
    radiation would effect them. When the boys began coming down with cancer,
    the St. Louis Records gov. building of 22 million military records was burned down.
    No way to prove you were even there. The fire raged for days. So.....why not:

    Oh, yea the masters of ceremonies at the nuclear sites stayed hidden on a mtn.
    inside a concrete bunker.

  6. In regards to the nuclear testing in Nevada, one guy said there was not enough
    dark glasses to go around, sound familiar, so he closed his eyes and covered
    his eyes with his hands and when the explosion went off he could see the bones
    in his hands with his eyes closed. Interesting piece of diabolical history.

  7. This site here are pics of certain nuclear test bombs. They look like the devil
    coming out of the ground. The pics can be enlarged. I looked at every one.
    This one called Mike: Image 158 MIKE, was fired on Eniwetok on October 31, 1952. It was an experimental thermonuclear device with a yield of 10.4 million tons of TNT. The explosion vaporized the island of Elugelab atoll and ripped out a hole big enough to fit several buildings the size of the Pentagon and deeper than the height of the Empire State Building.

  8. Ever wonder why the US has the highest cancer rates than any country in the
    world - Well, wonder no more. This radiation from the nuclear bombs went all
    over the country and will not dissipate for thousands of years.
    CofCC has been down a long time with no explanation. Was mentioned in the manifesto.
