Where is the outrage?

Recommended Posts

We have rightly vilified the stars and bars yet we still have federal military bases named after KKK leaders. WTF? Why haven't we banned Sweet Home Alabama or The Night They Drove Ol Dixie Down? They all glorify the South and are clearly racist. What the hell is going on here?

Exactly using kallends repeatedly spammed "cornerstone" speech posts everything that has anything to do with the civil war must be removed from public property as it represents a racist war. :S:o


Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone. Spelling and gramhair mistakes guaranteed move along,

How many post Civil War treason charges were filed, trials held and the number of convictions adjudged?
Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

The Generals sent the men home.... they knew they had to put our country back together. Those who had fought the war and survived it were tired and realized they needed to go home to their families and get on with life. My 2nd great grandfathers who fought showed up to the county courthouses ( the ones that were still standing) took their oaths of allegiance to the USA and signed the books like "Georgia, Returns of Qualified Voters and Reconstruction Oath Books, 1867-1869 " and became citizens of the USA.

They have since sent their sons, grandsons and great grand children off to fight for their country as have other descendants of those who fought that most terrible of wars our people fought. It is best to remember we are one country and one people forged from the immigrants who have come to America from all over the world to become Americans.

The Night They Drove Ol Dixie Down? They all glorify the South and are clearly racist.




A good old Canadian song. It doesn't glorify the south at all. It tells part of the story of the south's complete humiliating defeat. The South lost, remember?

And as my granddaddy said... "They might have won the War of Northern Agression but we have been making those damn Yankees pay to see what they won ever since."

( And that extends to all those Canuckiistani's too)

Yup, I love America, and especially the south. I had real pit BBQ ribs in a grubby old truckstop in SE Missouri just today. Worth every penny.

The version I have is sung by a New Yorker of Mexican heritage.

Probably played on a Chinese music player purchased by a British guy.

Which makes it the perfect American song.



Yep. My Amazon Echo was "Assembled in China".

(But I still have a functioning stereo I made myself in 1971 using mostly US (Motorola) semiconductors, and with British speakers)
