Some Southern Thoughts

Black ghettos are a Northern not a Southern invention.


Put in the plainest terms, the War of 1861-1865 was an invasion and conquest of the South by fellow Americans in control of the U.S. government—Republicans with no more than 40% support of the American people. It could not and did not save the Union. It turned the Union of the forefathers into something else. It was not a war to free the slaves. That was only an opportunistic move that never took into consideration whatsoever the welfare of African Americans.


Between 1860 and 1890, African Americans suffered a ten-year decline in the span of life and suffered many other declines in their welfare. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.


Satan is real. He is quite active these days in Washington, D.C.


A large proportion of the members of the U.S. Congress are intellectual and morally shallow people whose actions are entirely self-referential and self-serving. Their only interest in the people they are supposed to represent is maintaining their own popularity by federal payoffs of one kind another.


If you look carefully at all the atrocities that have been done to symbols of Confederate heritage, you will find that Southern Republicans have played a major role in the atrocities every time.

Let's also remember that it was Republicans, including Rand Paul who voted to make Juneteenth a national holiday.

Contrary to conservatives like Anthony Esolen, Alexander Riley, Mark David Hall slavery in the south was not a great evil, slave holders were not like the Deep State and the founders were not abolitionists.

Unfortunately, people in this country rely on perverted Hollywood liars like Quentin Tarantino and his bs movies for their history lessons. They do not know the truth about the real Lincoln or the south. Honestly, people these days don't have the IQ or critical thinking abilities to keep up and consider for a moment that they may have been duped.
And the alleged conservative Republicans that always assume we will vote for them are more offensive because they very likely know better but choose to look the other way.
When this "united" country/empire decided to wage a coward's war yet again on my/our Confederate ancestors - this time on their very graves and the honor they earned on the battlefields, they broke the agreement permanently as far as I'm concerned.

Well said! I’m in perfect agreement. They crossed the Rubicon. We are headed to a future authoritarian nightmare or a the dawn of our freedom. The future of our kids and grandkids depends on a select, small remnant fighting and dying for the Cause.

Every time I hear (which is often) one of this group say that our prayers are with “who or whatever” I want to puke. I really don’t doubt that a handful are sincere. To the majority (who routinely lie) I want to say that hell hears you.

If they are my intellectual superiors, then I'm living in a circus nightmare.

I encourage everyone to go back and read all of Professor Wilson and Professor McClanahan’s books. I have Professor Wilson’s newest book in the mail right now coming to me.

Professor Wilson is both our Cicero and Jackson. I don’t think we will ever recover from losing him once he passes across the river. He is the South’s right arm. One may feel like an empty outcast after being banished to the desert of Academia. Contemplating a life of no meaning and service to the Southern peoples.

But happily I say, Caesar had his Brutus. And Lincoln and the American Empire have their Wilson. His writings will forever be what Cicero’s writings were to Rome and Western Civilization. But dare I say he is greater than Cicero. Our American Cicero. A true statesman. A true historian. A true Southerner.

He has written the great defense of our peoples. Not David, Stephens, or Bledsoe. His words have made the falsehoods of the Empire fall in sinking sand. Wilson attacked, attacked, attacked the Empire! He defeated Hamilton and Lincoln upon Cemetery Ridge! Where are ancestors could not advance, Wilson charged and successfully defeated the enemy.

To the Empire: Banish him whenever you desire. Pronounce him an evil Nazi. Call him persona non grata. But it will never change the fact that he alone defeated the History of the Empire. And as such, is worthy to be mentioned next to Lee, Jackson, AP Hill, Pender, Hampton, Forrest, etc. Our American Cicero.

And when we reclaim our homeland, let us stand justified and brave with Wilson’s words. Whatever his tombstone may say, let it say in our hearts: “Here lived a Southern Patriot.” And let our bosoms swell and eyes water, as we lead the final advance to defeat those people.

David is supposed to be Jefferson Davis, lol. The great Bibical David is a whole other discussion. But might I say, I have always considered the Virginia Flaggers the modern day David’s to our Cause. I tell people all the time the bravest people I’ve seen for our Cause have been women, young kids, and teenagers. There’s exceptions of course. But true Southern men in our Cause are wanting. They’ve been conditioned to only kill for the Empire. Not for their own people.

Eh. Virginia Flaggers is part of the problem. If one states facts regarding the roles of jews in our global misery, VF deletes comments and blocks accounts. If we cannot have honest discussions and nudge others to cross uncomfortable but factual boundaries, we are doomed. VF, like millions of others, prefer their comfortable lies.

Good job, General Kromwell. I too love Professor Clyde Wilson. The Abbeville Institute has a section called the "Clyde Wilson Library" and my hopes is that I will read every single blog, article, & essay he's every written. The checklist is long. I ask, in fact, it's more of a rallying cry to all Southerners, read everything by Dr. Wilson.

Wow! General Kromwell, I am blushing. There other good men who have kept the Cause alive also---Mel Bradford, Tom Landess, Don Livingston, Brion McClanahan, Paul Graham.

Lincoln and the GOP also initiated the practice of importing new populations to eliminate the existing ones. I mean the recruiting agents sent to Ireland and Germany, or waiting at the docks when the immigrant ships arrived. One-fourth of the U.S. Army was foreign-born by 1864, imports to kill the descendants of those who opened the continent in the first instance.
