The New Confederacy

Confederate Outlaw · #1 07-13-2006, 12:50 PM

I am interested in hearing any thoughts about the possibility and likely result of a second uprising from the South. I have my own opinions about the need or lack thereof of a second uprising of the Confederates. I have heard and reasearched an organization in Texas that is working to reinstate the Confederate government using the old Constitution and for a small fee and some documentation, you can be an official citizen of the Confederacy and vote next year for a new president. I am really interested in any thoughts yall may have on this and any knowledge you may have of the new Confederate government. Thanks.

As an honorary thing, I applaud the suggestion and would inquire into membership. From your post, Outlaw, I cannot tell at what level you mean about 'reinstating the Confederacy.' I cannot think that you are talking about a revolt such as what shook the nation in 1860. One thing the War has taught us is that it is much wiser and effectual to work towards goals within the Union than in disrupting the Union. This nation needs the South- The South is our bulwark against the crazy liberalism that plagues the land. It is a true comfort to know the she is there, immutable, at the ready to combat this lunacy. With the South, all who fear this degeneracy and imbecility can take heart and know that with fortitude and God's blessing there is great strength and there shall be no defeat. But the fight is within the Union, not against it.

If I mistake your message, please enlighten me. regards, ed

Apparently, being smarter than most people doesn't prevent one from getting bilked out of a small fee for an honorary citizenship.

The spirit of the Confederacy is alive and well (with a cough or two) in the hearts of the descendants of the soldiers who served in the Civil War. That's as far as any of that mess needs to go. All thirteen 'southern' states are on record as being part of the United States of America. That's good enough for us all. Any problems with that should be addressed to your Congressional representative. The rest is dead and should remain so.

Great posts so far. I agree. I didn't pay for the membership for this new Confederacy, so called. I was interested in hearing opinions of it. I agree 100%. There is no need for such a war today. Very enlightened words. I do believe that the South is the sober mind of our great Union. In spite of the fact that I am a diehard Confederate I still love my country and have been in the Army now for 3 years. I have been to Afghanistan and will be going to Iraq very soon. I love my country and would happily die for it. A Confederate is just another name for a hard working, hard living, country boy or girl. God Bless the South and God bless our beloved Union. Thanks for the humor too Mr. Ole. Take care.

Confed Outlaw, I suspect the group will join with me in thanking you for your efforts in our regard and wish for you the best of luck in the future. May God go along on your travels.

Ed Ed Ed, I will not enlighten you as to my political views and please do not make judgements based on how I react as I will not indulge you in this forum. That said, as a constitutionalist I find it offensive to my very core to read what I see you put forth. It is imbicility in its own right to put the finger on the "****ed liberals" for conditions in this country where constitutional rights are be trampled on at best and ignored and abused at worst under the banner of fighting "terrorism". Let me give you a bit of a hint, there are many in the "conservative Republican" wing of the party and Reagan Republicans included who are having a tough time coming to grips with the trends. If you are throwing your weight behind the South as the bulwark just keep in mind how close the great state of Louisiana came to voting David Duke into office. If this drum rolls me off this board than so be it.
Respectfully,
Spartan

I agree with Spartan 100%! I think it is terrible to see the freedoms we know and love being taken away by fear of terrorism. Terrorism has been around as long as the Constitution and before and none of our fore fathers left out any freedoms to the law abiding citizens because of the crimes of a few. I believe the government should keep its nose out of our business whether we are criminals or law abiders. I believe in innocent until proven guilty. If you are looking into my life to find crime before a crime is commited you are taking my Constitutional freedoms away and taking more power into your hands than our fore-fathers intended for our government to have. The power should remain with the people. If someone is going to kill, he will kill. THEN the law should step in, not before.

Speaking of the power of the government but on a different topic. I think FEMA should be considered an illegal government organization. Again, the government has deemed it necessary to make you have a false sense of security in the supreme power of the government...communism if I ever saw it. Since when did we need a government organization dispursing our tax dollars to people who are victims to a natural tragedy? Where was FEMA 100 years ago? It was the people! Using their own money to rebuild what disaster takes away. What is $2,000 per person going to do for anyone anyway? It wasn't about helping people restore their lifes. It was about depending on your government when it is you who is responsible. Don't fall into these head games this new government is throwing at you. The more you don't see how this new government is taking over your personal life the more you will suffer from it. I am interested in any thoughts.

Confederate Outlaw, have you ever experianced Communism or dealt w/ those who have? If not I strongly suggest that you speak to a Russian Immigrant and suggest to them that the US is a Communist country.... if they manage to control themselves and not rip your head off you might get an education. The US is NOT a Communist nation, not even remotely.

The idea that the South is anti-liberal is false. Look to Louisiana and New Orleans or Atlanta. Areas run by liberals for most of my lifetime and definetly a part of the deep South. Look to the vote #'s in the last presidential election... the Democrats gave a good accounting of themselves.

What specific freedoms have you lost since 9/11? Please be specific. If you are referring to the line tapping that has suposedly been going on by the NSA... it appears to have been a created story by our very honest media. Second Amendment threats... have been going on for at least thirty years. The media Demonization of Christianity... again been going on for most of my lifetime. If you are refferring to the supposed suppression of Anti-War pukes. As the... people are out every week or two up here I don't think they have been denied their attempt to recreate the Vietnam protest. So please be specific about the evils of this new govt and how the last govt was any better.

This "new" govt is no better or worse than the old. FEMA... about what I would expect from a bunch of bueracrats. A lot of pork w/ very few results. Wal Mart was more efective than FEMA & the State of Louisiana during Katrina... as I work w/ Wal Mart several times a week I can tell you that speaks volumes.

What is/was your unit if I might ask?

Confederate Outlaw · #10 07-14-2006, 08:52 AM

I have seen the effects of communism and the similarities of the liberal agenda in the US. I am still stationed with the same unit I have served with for the past three years and will be with for atleast another two years due to the possible stop-loss while in Iraq. Since this is a public forum and anyone may review it I am not going to give my unit info. I am also a lifetime member of the NRA and Free Hunters.
