The Confederate battle flag, along with our other cultural icons, is not merely an historical banner that represents the South. It is a shorthand symbol of our very ethnic identity as a distinct people–Southerners. When you attack that flag or any of our other icons, you are attacking us personally. When you say you want [...]
Forrest High School Story From: cobbslegionscv@hotmail.com To: gkamm@firstcoastnews.com Dear Mr. Kamm Just finished reading the web version of your story http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/local/news-article.aspx?storyid=74785.

Newsmax and Lincoln From: colonel@37thtexas.org To: jkingantiquearms@bellsouth.net ...Already took care of it yesterday as per the below: You wrote: "Abraham Lincoln is arguably the greatest man ever to have served as the President of the United States.

Klan in Antietam From: cobbslegionscv@yahoo.com If I could have gone today, I would have been the loudest; however, I did make an effort via email to Marylanders, but was met silence and apathy.... I would like to thank the 30 people who showed up representing various groups (None of which ironically enough were SCV nor [...]
Spike Lee lives and works in New York City, a city whose residents dumped 20,000 worked to death young black slaves into a pit and then built sky scrapers over them. In the South, there are hundreds - perhaps thousands - of slave cemeteries where slave bodies were reverently buried and honored. Spike, as long [...]
Advocate perpetuates nonstory on flag I am amazed and disappointed that The Advocate has continued to perpetuate this ridiculous LSU Confederate flag nonstory with misleading and false information. About 92,000, plus or minus, fans show up each game day for a sporting event, and The Advocate reports that "some fans and tailgaters" fly the LSU [...]
