Dirt Roads Scholar: Reconstruction Continues – Commentary by Michael Kilpatrick

"The principle for which we contend is bound to reassert itself, though it may be at another time and in another form." --Jefferson Davis

States rights are not even a question any more. They have none. Was it the infiltration of socialism/communism into the fabric of government? Redistribution of income by force of arms? Elimination of the right to defend oneself? Legalized slaughter of the nations most helpless citizens? All these and more are agendas of the criminals in charge of, and thoroughly infesting an aggressive, and tyrannical, Imperial federal leviathan.

"The Gettysburg speech was at once the shortest and the most famous oration in American history...the highest emotion reduced to a few poetical phrases. Lincoln himself never even remotely approached it. It is genuinely stupendous. But let us not forget that it is poetry, not logic; beauty, not sense. Think of the argument in it. Put it into the cold words of everyday. The doctrine is simply this: that the Union soldiers who died at Gettysburg sacrificed their lives to the cause of self-determination -- that government of the people, by the people, for the people, should not perish from the earth. It is difficult to imagine anything more untrue. The Union soldiers in the battle actually fought against self-determination; it was the Confederates who fought for the right of their people to govern themselves." --H. L. Mencken

And now we are governed by insignificant others, and badly at that. We continue to hear that the 'Late Unpleasantness' was fought over slavery, yet here we are in shackles, velvet covered though they may be. The Romans knew the danger they faced from their citizens, and kept them content and thereby complacent. Contentment and complacency are a feeble barrier to the barbarians at our gates, and a goad to the barbarians among us.

"Surrender means that the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers; learn from Northern school books THEIR version of the war; and taught to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects of derision." --Gen. Patrick Cleburne, CSA

And now, 135 years later, when Johnny comes marching home from the government school, he can't read. Not only that, but he's been taught that the God of his fathers is dead, and the fathers of his country were evil white oppressors. If you have any children consigned to your local reeducation center, and you really care for them at all, you have three choices. You can sacrifice a lot of time and a few resources and detoxify their brains every night when they get home. Or you can sacrifice a lot of resources and a little less time and send them to a 'Christian' school. Or you can sacrifice a lot of resources and a lot of time and teach the children that God gave to You, at home. Your children, and their children, will thank you for it.

"I sicken, to contemplate the ruin and desolation thus gratuitously inflicted on my country by the blind and insane fury of a fanaticism which contemplated with calmness and even with complacency the reduction of fifteen states where civilization now flourishes into a new Haiti." --Judah Benjamin, senator from Louisiana, soon to be Confederate Secretary of War, in 1860.

Reconstruction continues. The shallow elitists of the Northeast and the West coast continue on their quest to eradicate all vestiges of Southernness, as though concepts such as honor, duty, valor, and chivalry are a personal affront to their base natures.

"If at first you don't secede, try, try again." --Florence King
