Southern women seem more comfortable battling for Dixie in politics

Americans are a fiesty bunch. If you try to squash their spirit with regulations or tie the hands of their groups you might find they will revert to the tactics of the colonialists when the British marched to seize guns in Massachusetts. There is a spirit in the South and it is rising. The more today's government attempts to bridle our freedom, the more you see individuals resisting. And surprisingly women are proving to be the most active and most effective leaders.

This Christmas travelers driving on Interstate 95 south of Richmond may find themselves looking at a large Confederate battle flag waving in the breeze welcoming all to the South. A group known as the "Virginia Flaggers" is working to install a large flag pole on privately owned property in the vicinity of the Interstate. It's just one more front in the battle for Richmond.

Over the past several years there has been a continuing effort to "PC" the Confederate White House and other Confederate structures in Richmond. The Confederate battle flag, the red field with the blue St. Andrews Cross and white stars has been removed and replaced by the less well recognized Stars and Bars. And the Musuem of the Confederacy's long term fate has been in question as its director and others seem to be working towards it's removal from its present location.

This anti Southern activity has spurred local activists to "push back," as Rush Limbaugh would say. In this case, it's a woman named Susan Hathaway. When she realized that southern heritage organizations like the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the United Daughters of the Confederacy were often timid in taking action to stand up for the South, Susan and a small band took the line.

Their strategy was simple.
