Rick Perry Also Supports Confederate/Pro-Slavery Groups
Salon’s Justin Elliott has some hawt new/old dirt on prancing Texas dingbat Rick Perry’s cozy ties with neoconfederate Rebel Flag types. The question with such revelations is, “Do they hurt Perry or help him?” Because in almost every case over the past forty years or so, a Republican presidential hopeful’s ties to fringe right and [...]
Virginia Confederacy Annoyed By Gay Flag At Richmond Federal Reserve
Deep in the confederate stronghold of Richmond, Virginia, there’s something mighty queer afoot: The Federal Reserve building in Richmond has a homosexual rainbow flag fluttering beneath the American flag. Why? Apparently it’s National Gay and Lesbian and BLT Month, and if President Obama wasn’t already minority enough, he is also promoting this celebration of the [...]
Jefferson Davis To Be Re-Inaugurated As President of Confederacy Tomorrow
It’s been over 146 years since the Confederacy ceased to exist. But it’s been exactly 150 years since Jefferson Davis was inaugurated president of the thing in Alabama, and, boy, doesn’t it seem like that latter one was just yesterday? Tomorrow, the Sons of Confederate Veterans (Sons? How old are they? 135?) are descending on [...]
Secessionist Arkansas State Rep: Confed. Flag ‘Symbol of Jesus Christ’
Hey, you know what’s happening in the year 2010?

One of Basil Marceaux’s Leading Opponents, Zach Wamp, Would Like To Secede Maybe
Congressman Zach Wamp is locked in a three-way battle for the Republican nomination for Tennessee governor (though it will ultimately go to a fourth candidate, Basil Marceaux), and so to give himself an edge he has resorted to the best talking point ever (after traffic-stop slavery emancipation), hinting that he maybe would like to secede [...]
Virginia Townsfolk ‘Verklempt’ About Return of Rebel Statue
The people of Franklin County, Virginia, are feeling so emotional today, because their Confederate monument stands tall and proud once again — hooray! The Confederate-Americans had to live without their rebel-flag statue and prayer tower for three years after some jerk (probably a matured “anchor baby”) knocked it down with his liberalism-powered truck and broke [...]
CNN Will Grind A Debate Out Of Anything, Baby, ANYTHING
Goddamnit, CNN. Isn’t it embarrassing that anyone thinks we should be having a “debate” about the Confederacy, a horrific, treasonous tumor on American history, promulgated by consolidated oligarchic financial interests intent on paying zero labor costs? NO. There are “different points of view,” meaning each is 50% correct, forever.
Did You Know *Other* Republican Governors Are Creepy Weirdos, Like Mark Sanford?
Anybody who says the Associated Press is not the most important wire service with “AP” as its initials just plain hates good journalism. Following up on yesterday’s scorcher about how there were five (5) other governors who did something vaguely weird once, over the course of American state history, today AP headquarters in New York [...]
