Californian finds Chinese relative buried in Carnton's Confederate Cemetery
Via Carl
After more than 140 years, there are still many stories told and untold stories about the Battle of Franklin being uncovered.
What began as a trip to Nashville for Fan Fair in 2005 became a life-changing event for Los Angeles resident Martin Chang.
Chang's life has been a series of changes leading
to an evolution and an understanding of purpose and self, but the
discovery of an ancestor buried in the Confederate Cemetery at Carnton
also redirected the quiet, unassuming young man to a clearer
understanding of purpose.
"To me, Charles Chon must have had a purpose," Chang said of the great- great uncle he discovered buried at Carnton. "He was a common soldier, he was captured (by the Union Army) at the Battle of Ark Post and spent time in a federal prison. When he was released, he reenlisted."

Immigration Reform That Will Make America Great Again
Via Matthew
The three core principles of Donald J. Trump's immigration plan
When politicians talk about “immigration reform” they mean: amnesty, cheap labor and open borders. The Schumer-Rubio immigration bill was nothing more than a giveaway to the corporate patrons who run both parties.
Real immigration reform puts the needs of working people first – not wealthy globetrotting donors. We are the only country in the world whose immigration system puts the needs of other nations ahead of our own. That must change. Here are the three core principles of real immigration reform:
1. A nation without borders is not a nation. There must be a wall across the southern border.
2. A nation without laws is not a nation. Laws passed in accordance with our Constitutional system of government must be enforced.
3. A nation that does not serve its own citizens is not a nation. Any immigration plan must improve jobs, wages and security for all Americans.
Make Mexico Pay For The Wall
For many years, Mexico’s leaders have been taking advantage of the United States by using illegal immigration to export the crime and poverty in their own country (as well as in other Latin American countries). They have even published pamphlets on how to illegally immigrate to the United States.
RIGHT ON!

Making A Family Show A Hate Crime: One Nutty Professor’s Censorious Crusade
Via SHNV
There is an old truism about academia that goes, “There is no idea so idiotic that it won’t be believed by a college professor.” Though this notion has been spectacularly reinforced by countless geniuses of the faculty lounge, an English professor at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst has set a new standard of proof for the truth of that statement.
As Professor Nick Bromell recently wrote in Salon:

As Professor Nick Bromell recently wrote in Salon:
“It is a fine thing that the Confederate flag will no longer fly above the South Carolina state capitol. But displaying the Confederate flag anywhere is, at bottom, an act of hate. It should be recognized as such, and punished as a hate crime. Given the millions who suffered under the whip of slave masters, and all the families separated as slave traders sold sons and daughters away from their parents, and wives away from their husbands, All Americans should recoil from the Confederate flag with the same horror we feel for the Nazi swastika.”With this statement, Bromell, who is listed as a teacher of American Studies, has not only revealed himself to be a bit of a cultural-cleansing Nazi thinker himself, but has also revealed a breathtaking ignorance of American history.

Academic Fascism
Via Billy
George Orwell said, “There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them.” If one wants to discover the truth of Orwell’s statement, he need only step upon most college campuses.
Faculty leaders of the University of California consider certain statements racism and feel they should not be used in class. They call it micro-aggression. To them, micro-aggressive racist statements are:
“America is the land of opportunity.” That is seen as perpetuating the myth of meritocracy. “There is only one race, the human race.” Such a statement is seen as denying the individual as a racial/cultural being. “I believe the most qualified person should get the job.” That’s “racist” because it gives the impression that “people of color are given extra unfair benefits because of their race.”
These expressions don’t exhaust the list of micro-aggressions.

NC: Charlotte pastor to keep firearm at pulpit
Recent shootings across the country have reopened the longstanding debate over gun control, and now one Charlotte pastor says she plans to arm herself.
The Rev. Brenda Stevenson is the lead pastor of New Outreach Christian Church in North Charlotte. It’s a small congregation that is about to make a big statement.
“We know God is with us; we just want to get those two new members,” Stevenson said.
Stevenson told Channel 9 those two new members theoretically speaking are Smith & Wesson, a firearms manufacturer.

Band releases album of songs inspired by American Civil War (sic)
Via Carl
Granville Automatic, a band with roots in Atlanta, is releasing its collection of songs inspired by Civil War battles, part of a related project to film videos of the songs on battlefields across the nation.
The album released this weekend, An Army Without Music, includes songs about soldiers, horses and ghosts in several southern states.
The band has filmed videos of the songs in the places that inspired them, and has plans to shoot more videos in Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia.
Every second of battle in the American Civil War was filled with stories, many of which have gone untold, band member Elizabeth Elkins said.
The band’s goal is to capture the immense emotional and human imprints the war left not only on soldiers, but their loved ones, she said. Lanterns at Horseshoe Ridge, for instance, recounts the night when mothers and daughters of soldiers used lanterns to search for their dead or dying loved ones near Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 1863.

Winston County crew's beginners luck helps them bag big Alabama River gator
Via Jeffery "These guys are from here. The Parker boy is my son's age and the Dover
guy on the far left is a big turkey hunter. I usually run up on him in
the woods in the Springtime. Camden, Alabama is about three hours south
of where we live. The gator hunts are relatively new and by lottery in
our state. I have applied each year, but so far no luck in winning."
Another huge alligator was pulled from the Millers Ferry pool of the Alabama River last night and the hunter freely admits it was a quintessential case of beginners luck.
Patrick Benson along with his fellow Winston County crewmates Brian Stover, Steton Parker and Jimmy Melson brought a massive 13-foot, 2.75-inch 776-pound male to the weigh station at Roland Cooper State park shortly after 10 p.m. on opening night.
The hunt took all of about 38 minutes after the season officially started at 8 p.m., Benson said.

Rush is wrong on Obama's 'legacy' interest in a nuclear Iran
Via David
Rush has been arguing lately that Obama is pushing the Iran deal as his "legacy." Rush doesn't get our truly anti-American president. "Legacy" makes it sound as if Obama thinks the Iran deal is a positive accomplishment. As if Obama believes his own speeches that it will stop a nuclear Iran, make the mullahs like us, and promote peace in the Middle East. This is the school of thought that sees Obama as naïve or inept, but not evil.
To understand the true nature of the legacy President Obama is aiming for, we need only go back to the full quote of "God damn America" from Obama's spiritual guide and mentor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

University Teaches Students That Whites Can’t Be Oppressed

An instructional guide apparently in use at Northeastern University in Boston is teaching the school’s residential assistants that it is impossible for white people or men to be oppressed.
“In order to have the experience of being oppressed one must belong to an oppressed category,” the guide, titled “The Umbrella of Oppression,” says. “Men cannot be oppressed as men, just as whites cannot be oppressed as whites.”
