UPDATE: Posted as comment also.
Well, folks, they did it again. I just got off the phone with the Hardball folks and they have once again asked to punt. I am told that they are too wound up over the tax debate. I am sorry for the game of ping-pong but I have been the ball. I look forward to the opportunity and am sure it will be back. I will let you know when it happens.
Please let anyone you told know of this update.
Thank you.

Gentlemen Sons of South Carolina
Fellow Southrons,
For Public Release:
Sons of Confederate Veterans, Commander-in-Chief, Michael Givens is scheduled to appear “live” on the MSNBC Hardball show with Chris Matthews today, Wednesday 8 December 2010. TIME: 5:00 p.m. and again later (assume taped) 7:00p.m.
Those of you who are familiar with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews know that he is “brutal” with opposing viewpoints on his program and will, no doubt, do his best to trip, frustrate and test the patience and knowledge of Commander Givens. In short, Matthews doesn’t soft shoe anything and will make a full frontal attack on Commander Givens and the SCV with claims of slavery, racism and the like…..we are confident that CiC Givens will demonstrate the best of courage and honor and will represent, with pride and dignity, the SCV and the memory of our Confederate forebears.
The purpose of this email is to inform you first, of the program schedule should you wish to view and second, to ask that you offer the following prayer at some point during the day or some version of it on behalf of Commander Givens and the Sons of Confederate Veterans. The world is watching us again on the eve of this sesquicentennial of the Cause for Southern Independence; let us unite our hearts together in “One Voice” to the God of Heaven, asking for Grace and Strength in this coming hour.
A Prayer for Confederate History
[Composed by Bishop Ellison Capers of South Carolina]
Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, we adore They love and providence in the history of our country and especially would thank Thee for our Confederate history.
We thank Thee for its pure record of virtue, valor and sacrifice: and for inspiring reflection that despite its bitter disappointments and sorrows, it proclaims for us, to all the world, that we came through its years of trial and struggle with our battered shields pure, our character as a patriotic and courageous people untarnished and nothing to regret in our defense of the rights and honor of our Southland.
Give us grace, our Heavenly Father, faithfully to accept Thy will concerning us, and make us all to glorify Thee in a sincere obedience to Thy holy commandments through the merits and mediation of They Son, our only Saviour, Jesus Christ, Amen.

The Left does not like the fact that the founding principles are being investigated by the oommon man, nor that perhaps the principles of the Confederacy are being re-discovered.
Prayers for the CIC of the SCV, God be with us.

Bingo, our States are independent, as the Founders originally intended and I we need to reclaim those rights. What a blithering idiot. I think I'll post this and thanks.
What principle would that be Slavery? All of the secession documents certainly state that it is.
