In a spectacular political upset, the
good people of England have declared their national independence from
the wrong-minded shackles of the European Union!
Congratulations and best wishes to our
British cousins!
The British victory should provide a
powerful and hugely inspiring example for a long-time abused segment
of America that deserves much better: Namely, the American South!
Much maligned over the decades, the US
South suffered unimaginable abuse and humiliation in recent years:
From ruthless denigration of the Confederate flag to shameful
ridicule, and worse, of Southern heroes and symbols, modern America,
under the hateful direction of the Obama administration, has declared
all out war on the traditions and culture still sacred to Southern
Americans.
Ironically, the anti-South movement
has, for the most part, origins in the hearts and minds of Americans
who preach the most fervently about inclusion, acceptance, and
diversity!
Apparently, inclusion is the gold
standard for compassionate citizenry.... except when it comes to
people and culture originating south of the Mason-Dixon line!
Diversity is our greatest
strength....except when it comes to Southern folks, so callous and
culturally insensitive as to publicly display allegiance to Dixie and
her indelible symbol of slavery and racial discrimination..... the
despicable flag of the Confederacy!
Mind you, those with the greatest
disdain for the Confederate flag are often among those whom see
absolutely nothing wrong with violence perpetrated at Donald Trump
political events by malcontent protesters (often illegal aliens)
rallying for spilled blood under the banner of Mexican flags!
Moreover, if the Obama administration
would devote but a fraction of the energy and resources currently
spent to crusade against all things Southern to the egregious threat
posed by Islamic terrorism, America might stand a reasonable chance
at decimating the likes of ISIS and other 6th century
freaks claiming to be acting in accordance with the “Religion of
Peace”!
The big question: Can pragmatic
patriots in the South unite in purpose and spirit in sufficient
strength to emulate the great success enjoyed by the British in
decoupling from the EU?
Isn't it about time that the South
honor the long-standing promise to Rise Again?
