June 26, 2015 The week that a stupid white kid drove ol’ dixie down

A few days before my birthday no less. šŸ˜”

His name is Dylan Roof and he just killed the symbol of the American south. It has even hit Hazzard County.

Others feel the same way.

Rod Dreher:

Yes. If it troubles you, white Southern Christian, to give up the Confederate battle flag, think of it as an act of sacrifice in solidarity with your fellow Christians who suffered and died, and who saw their churches burned down, at the hands of whites who acted in service of that flagā€™s ideals.

I have contemptĀ forĀ cheap theatrical stunts like Burn The Confederate Flag Day,Ā gratuitous acts of protest that cost those who stage them nothing, but inflates their own egos with noxious eructations of moralistic flatulence. These are people who donā€™t want reconciliation or peace, only to rub the noses of angry people in their own defeat. However deserved that defeat may be, we donā€™t need any more hatred from sore culture-war winners.

Be of good cheer: the flag is coming down all over, and itā€™s coming down because Rand Paul is right: it is inescapably a symbol of bondage and slavery, and it is inescapably a symbol of white contempt for the humanity of black people. Who would have imagined that a skinnyĀ white supremacistĀ punk would be the one who at long last drove Old Dixie down, and made the Confederate battle flag anathema, even to many Southern Republicans.

Jazz Shaw:

I should note, in closing, that this column is being penned by a Damned Yankee, born and bred in New York. But Iā€™ve lived in enough places and met enough people to realize that youā€™re not always as wise and as righteous as you may think you are until youā€™ve sat down at the dinner table of another personā€™s mom for a plate of red beans and rice with cornbread. Every Southerner I know today abhors the idea of slavery and would immediately call the police if they found out about anyone keeping human beings as slaves. But they are also proud of their heritage and the many things the South represents, and for many of them the Stars and Bars is emblematic of that sense of history and pride. So maybe you can crack the politically correct whip and tear down some flags. I say go to hell. Our brothers and sisters who dwell below the Mason-Dixon are Americans first and always, but they are Southern by the Grace of God.

Some music for this very sad occasion:

I knew that this day would come, one day. But, I never expected my 69 year old Father from Middlesboro, Kentucky and my 60-something year old Mother from Dalton, Georgia to ever live to see it.

It’s a different world, and not the one I grew up in. šŸ™ šŸ˜”

 

How not to talk about the CharlestonĀ shootingĀ 

This little gem comes from a neoconservative, neo-evangelical, slander bloggerĀ and aĀ dirtbag piece of crap; that allowed one of this diary users on that pathetic blog of his, to slander me. Something that I have considered suing him for.

A society that looks at a 65 year old male Olympian and, with a straight face, declares him a her and ā€œa new normalā€ cannot have a conversation about mental health or evil because that society no longer distinguishes normal from crazy and evil from good. Our American society has a mental illness ā€” overwhelming narcissism and delusion ā€” and so cannot recognize what crazy or evil looks like.

Now, as a Fundamentalist Christian and an Independent Baptist; do I agree with the sentiment expressed here? Yes, I do.

However, I would never, ever, speak such things, before the freakin’ bodies are even buried in the ground! šŸ˜”

This is what pisses me off about this whole situation; this horrific event is being exploited by the left — which is saying that the reason this kid was not gunned down by the police, is because of “White Privilege” and by the right; perfect example being above and other examples, like these here. Which gives the left in this Country, all the more reason to paint the right as bigoted and out of touch.

In truth, this kid didn’t get mowed down, is because he had enough common sense not to try to point a gun, or bum rush or even try to hit with a piece of concrete, a police officer. Something that Michel Brown, Trayvon Martin and a few blacks have done to white police officers and armed white people.

The most I have ever said is, “Sad, but they do it too“, meaning black people. Which is true, blacks kill whites all the time and there’s never a peep out of the media; as well as when blacks kill blacks. But, you let a white kid, who’s a little loose in the noodle kill a black person or persons and it is nationwide story.

Liberal progressivism and neoconservatism, but then again, I repeat myself —- is a mental disorder. šŸ˜”
