CONFEDERATE DEAD, SIX HUNDRED: VIRGINIA'S DAUGHTERS TO VIRGINIA'S DEFENDERS
Susan at Confederate Monument and mass grave, Warrenton Cemetery, Warrenton, VA
2009: Dixie with Confederate
Monument in background. My mother bought the plot, then took my father
to see it, but Daddy complained that since there were no trees it would
be too hot!
This is an old
picture, and the monument area has been refurbished. There are stones
around the complete circle with the names of each individual grouped by
state. The office has a map with name/location of all Confederate
soldiers buried in the cemetery
Rapper Shot Repeatedly in Grocery Store By Another Rapper Thug While Filming Rap Video
Typically, art imitates life. But, with Rap music, the opposite is true... life imitates art, and oftentimes, with dire consequences.
Recently released video from a Bronx bodega, where two aspiring rappers where filming a no-budget video, shows one rapper pumping multiple, close range shots into his rap partner, then pistol-whipping him as he laid on the floor in critical condition — all without spilling his drink.

IRS Abolishes Mandatory Expiration Dates For Illegal Immigrants’ Taxpayer Status
Via avordvet
“On the screen, I’ve got figure 6 from the 2012 IG report showing most frequently used addresses for ITIN tax refunds. As you can see, nearly 24,000 tax refunds totaling $46.4 million were issued to the same address in Atlanta,” Johnson said. “Bottom-line these ITINs are costing taxpayers dearly because they can be used to fraudulently get tax refunds…Look at figure 3 on the screen. Over 1,000 ITINs were assigned to individuals using the same address in Atlanta. You agree that there’s still a problem?”
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) quietly changed regulations to allow more undocumented immigrants to keep their taxpayer status through a program that is rife with fraud and abuse, and to delay deactivation of immigrant taxpayer status until 2016.
The IRS now prevents peoples’ Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) from automatically expiring after five years as previously mandated. Now immigrants can keep their ITIN so long as they pay taxes at least once in a five-year period. (RELATED: IRS Loophole For Illegals’ Children Costs Taxpayers Billions

Fort Hood colonel makes history as first Vietnamese-American to make general
Via Timothy
As Viet Luong's wife pinned the star on his chest Wednesday morning to promote him to the rank of brigadier general, history was made.
Born in Vietnam and brought to America during the 1975 fall of Saigon, Luong is the first Vietnamese-American to make general officer in the United States Army.
"The journey was arduous," said Luong, deputy commander for maneuver for 1st Cavalry Division, standing at the podium at Cooper Field.
At age 10, Luong's father, a Vietnamese marine, got their family of 10 onto a flight during Operation Frequent Wind and into a refugee camp in Arkansas. The family then settled in Los Angeles.

Revolutionizing Citizenship of the United States
Faced
with the defeated South poised to regain voting rights and seats in
Congress, the Republican party desperately needed dependable voters and
it created a new category of black citizenship to attain this. Armed
with a newly enacted law, the terrorist wing of the party, the Union
League, was unleashed on the South with instructions to enlist freedmen
and intimidate white voters from the polls.
Bernhard Thuersam, Chairman
North Carolina War Between the States Sesquicentennial Commission

Revolutionizing Citizenship of the United States
“
. . . [T]he provision of the [Civil Rights] bill [of 1866] appeared out
of all relation to our constitutional system. Never before had Congress
been known to arrogate to itself the power to regulate the civil status
of the inhabitants of a State . . . , [the jurisdiction of disputes
relating to contracts and property and even criminal actions, and it]
seemed like a complete revelation of that diabolical spirit of
centralization, of which only the cloven hoof had been manifested
heretofore.
In
addition to the definition of “slavery” and “involuntary servitude,”
the Civil Rights Bill undertook to fix the precise meaning of the phrase
“citizen of the United States.” For general practical purposes, exact
determination of the scope of citizenship had not been found necessary
[previous to the War].
Where any opinion at all had been pronounced, it
had in most cases been in relation to the status of free Negroes.
The
weight of authority on this point was adverse to the claim of
citizenship for the blacks. “No person,” said Attorney-General
[William] Wirt in 1821, “is included in the description of citizen of
the United States, who has not the full rights of a citizen in the State
of his residence.”
This
principle had been in general the basis of the government’s practice in
all the departments. For native-born persons living within a State,
citizenship of the State was the prerequisite for citizenship of the
United States; for persons of foreign birth, naturalization alone was
necessary. The Dred Scott decision limited this rule by determining that
State citizens of African descent could not be citizens of the United
States.
During
the war, however, the old view was entirely overthrown in practice.
Mr. Lincoln’s attorney-general argued away all the precedents, and gave
it as his official opinion that a free Negro, born within the United
States, was ipso facto a citizen thereof. He assumed nativity as the
broad basis of citizenship . . . [and] With that assumption the status
of United States citizenship was placed entirely beyond the reach of any
State influence whatever, and a purely national conception was
attained.
To
justify this sweeping enactment, the special conception of citizenship
which the history of our institutions had developed was discarded, and
the broad principle of public law was adopted in its place. All
[Northern] authorities agreed that the status of citizen implied the
reciprocal duties of allegiance and protection. A citizen of the United
States, then, was entitled to the protection of that government to
which allegiance was owed. But this protection was to operate against
all sources of oppression, and if a State government happened to come in
this category, it too must succumb.”

A Man Was Saved From A Bear Attack By His Justin Bieber Ringtone
Justin Bieber may need bodyguards to save him from Orlando Bloom but the peach-lipped douche needs no help when it comes to handling bears.
Russian Igor Vorozhbitsyn was en route to his favorite fishing spot when he was savagely attacked by a brown bear. The 42-year-old told Central European News, “I had parked my car and was walking towards the spot I’d marked out when there was a tremendous impact on my back and the bear was on top of me.”
Luckily, Vorozhbitsyn was saved from certain death when his phone cranked out Justin Bieber caterwauling his song “Baby.” At hearing the falsetto pre-pubescent mating cry the bear hightailed it into the woods.
“I couldn’t believe my luck when the phone went off and he fled,” Vorozhbitsyn said. “I know that sort of ringtone isn’t to everyone’s taste, but my granddaughter loaded it onto my phone for a joke.”
