NF Weirdest ACW Author Ever...?

Non-Fiction
Here's another one for the grifter pile: Defending Dixie by Isaac C Bishop. "Bishop" is actually a New England imbecile named Jeb Smith who has shed his regional identity and name to write a piece of neo-Confederate nonsense. You might ask why.

Here's his explanation:



Yeah, I've seen reports on this guy in the past. If Clyde Wilson says to read it, don't.

 
Do any modern day Southern secession movements not embrace the Confederacy?
I'll wager that the "line" between Padraig and the Confederacy is a very blurred/indistinct one. In fact one can reasonably say it's non-existent. He's been seen at gatherings where a certain battle flag is prominently displayed. He's also identified by Identity Dixie as one of its authors. They advertise his book and feature blog posts with titles like "Understanding the Reverence for the Confederacy" containing the following:

"Dixie's history is more than the Confederacy, but Dixians cannot reject it or forget about it. Similar to the Shia and Irish strategies of remembering their defeats to maintain their identity, Dixians of the past have done the same, and we must follow in that path. There is a reason why the enemy is so gung-ho about getting rid of all traces of Confederate memorialization – they understand that when it is gone, Dixie cannot maintain its identity. The death of Dixie comes when her sons and daughters no longer remember the actions of the brave men and women who fought gallantly for her. To any true Dixian, such an act is to spit on the grave of those who gave their lives for the South. To honor them, we must continue on and remember our past."

Pardon me as I go burn my eyes.
 
Oh, so picky. What's a lil felony among friends? Like everyone here doesn't have a past 🧐.

It's the commas after the titles that get me. Nononononojuststop. Estoppel the commasel. And where's that "Islamic Studies" MA from, a Cracker Jack Box 800 number? Come on.
 
Actually the craziest person in the ACW community is still Reverend Robert Breaker.
That tie.
