Default A Dedication to the True South

Larry,

I thought of you and others who have come to represent all that is good and true of the South.

Long Live The South.

And Long Live The United State of America.

Sincerely,
Unionblue

Neil,

That is one wild eclectic website. I am not sure how you offer it as an alternative to the kinds of websites we have recently been offered (the SCV, SNC).

It does not offer a theory or idea of the South as a loyal region of the Union.


The site does appear to me to have a most 'Militaristic' tone (remember that book we discussed, "The Militant South"?).


My only criticism of this site is where they say "Everything I need to know about *****" and "They call ***** a religion" (and show 911 explosions, etc.). I would say this is just the kind of sociotyping of people that you and I and most all of us have been working to negate through our discourse on this thread.

samgrant,

I only tried to offer the song about Beautiful Dixie. I even tried to offer only it when I listed the website and the URL for the specific show.

As for the rest of it, do what I do, take the best, leave the rest.

Sincerely,
Unionblue
