feel that way.

I think we should try to spread this around. So more people know about it. So it's out in the open. Where the sunshine is. So more people will know about it. So these assholes can't walk around like pure-hearted America-lovers. Well, they AREN'T ANY SUCH THING if they support or defend the CONfederacy or anything about it. They're America-haters and traitors. They're guilty of TREASON and shouldn't hold ANY elected office whatsoever.

Let's keep this one on the front burner.

We have to make sure that ANY "romance" with the CONfederacy is bolted, epoxied, welded, and laminated to HIGH TREASON and hatred of America. It has to equate to the complete LACK of patriotism. It has to be rendered 100% UNpatriotic. If you're for the CONfederacy, then you are UN-AMERICAN. Seems to me we need to work to help as many people as possible start associating the support or defense of anything CONfederacy-related with TREASON and hate of America. You are UNPATRIOTIC to the Nth Degree if you support or defend or somehow try to excuse away the Confederacy. It has to be made NOT OKAY. Just as the bad guys reframed and reshaped the public mindset on liberals, and turned the very word "liberal" into a dirty word - uttered more often than not with a curled lip. It has to be turned into an obscenity. We need to drive home that this "it's our heritage" crap is complete bullshit, and that "heritage" is NOTHING to be proud of.

No one is pointing out that the truth about the CONfederacy is they wanted not just to abandon this country and turn their backs on it and renounce it and their citizenship, but wanted to rip it up, physically, to tear it apart, to undo the first word of the very name of our country - the "United States of America." That is about as unAmerican as you can get, seems to me.

WHY shouldn't we point that out? WHY shouldn't we put the apologists ON THE SPOT? Just drill down a little bit when they start defending and insisting it's okay and it's noble and it's their "heritage" - why isn't anyone asking - "WHY are you proud of that? It's the most hideous thing in the world! To be willing to break away from this country and GO TO WAR with it because you wouldn't be allowed to own slaves anymore? THAT IS HIDEOUS!!!!! And THAT'S what their wonderful precious almighty CONfederacy was - that they love so damn much and try so hard to keep alive. It should be asked of them, point-blank - WHY are you so hellbent on keeping something as awful as that alive? They should be put on the spot. The CONfederacy should be spoken of, written about, and cast in that kind of ultra-negative light. It should be spoken of and portrayed publicly as something horribly negative. ALWAYS. The fact that it's not, that it's somehow been rendered romantic from some misty, foggy, floral-scented "good old days" kind of imaging and framing, is really a crime. And a sin.

WHY shouldn't we speak frankly about what the CONfederacy is all about is ripping America up and destroying her - just so YOU don't have to be told you can't own slaves anymore. "It's economic..." BULLSHIT. It was about SLAVERY and a HUGE multi-state hissy fit because they weren't going to be able to own slaves anymore. It is the complete absence of, and opposite of, patriotism or love of America. I don't know how they even have the gall to put their hands over where the human heart would ordinarily be and pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. If they love and honor their CONfederate "heritage," then they're UN-American, they hate this country, and they're TRAITORS. And to support and defend the CONfederacy is to give aid and comfort to the enemy.
