Help us map the last remaining monuments of the Confederacy

Gallant men fighting for a wretched cause. How sad. TD

 
Fusion   . . . "The Civil War ended 150 years ago, but physical signs of its presence are seen all over the South: monuments, courthouses, schools, cities, counties. They can even be found in places you wouldn’t expect, as far afield as Ridgefield, Washington, or Helena, Montana.

"We pulled together all the mentions we could find of monuments to the Confederacy and its leaders off Wikipedia and created the map below. The highlighted regions are the former Confederate States of America."
This Google Earth screen shot is from the article:
. . . "The map is by no means scientific or comprehensive, and only uses sites named on Wikipedia, and does not include cemeteries or battlefield memorial sites." . . .


 'If you know of any public locations marking the Confederate legacy that are not listed on this map, please fill out this form or leave a comment with the information. We’ll update this document with verified additions as we receive them."   More here.

We Have Officially Reached Peak Leftism

 The horrific crime that shocked the nation notwithstanding, black life in Charleston remains very different, in attractive ways, from black life in such Left-dominated horror shows as Cleveland and Detroit, and the state’s governor is, in the parlance of identity politics, a woman of color — but she is a Republican, too, and therefore there must be shrieking, rending of garments, and gnashing of teeth.

NRO . . . We have seen an extraordinary outburst of genuine extremism — and genuine authoritarianism — in the past several months, and it will no doubt grow more intense as we approach the constitutional dethroning of the mock messiah to whom our progressive friends literally sang hymns of praise and swore oaths of allegiance. (“I pledge to be a servant to our president” — recall all that sieg heil creepiness.) There is an unmistakable stink of desperation about this, as though the Left intuits what the Right dares not hope: that the coming few months may in fact see progressivism’s cultural high-water mark for this generation." . . .  Read more   Kevin D.

How can people who hate this nation have so much influence today?

Political Cartoons by Glenn McCoy

Rush Limbaugh . . .  "Everybody's going along with it, and I say, "Wait, wait, wait, wait. The next thing that's gonna happen is somebody's gonna say the American flag has flown over far more bigotry and racism and homophobia than the Confederate flag," and somebody's gonna make a move to replace it. They said, "He doesn't know what he's talking about. He's marginalized! Rush Limbaugh, he's an extremist. He's been marginalizing all of this stuff." Well, here comes Calypso Louie, in less than 24 hours, making my point." :

 

Rush Is Right   . . . "It’s a cultural revolution slower than Mao’s pace, but with the same destination — a left wing utopia that never really exists, but once you get there if you say otherwise your next meal might wind up being a lead sandwich. And the President’s top and longest serving advisor has the right family background to push in that direction.

"Rush is right. Don’t doubt him on this." . . .

 Of Gone with the Wind and 'peak leftism' "A CNN anchor actually asked whether or not the Jefferson Memorial should come down.  While we're at it, might as well take down the Lincoln Memorial because Mary Todd's family owned slaves.  Of course, we should dynamite the Washington Monument pronto.

Awesome Picture From South Carolina That Will Make Race Baiters Choke…

Weasel Zippers
Right Scoop   "Nearly everyone on Twitter is sharing this great picture showing a black man and a guy holding a confederate flag, but they’re not arguing or yelling at each other. Much to the dismay of the professional race-baiters that headed down to South Carolina, these two guys show we can disagree and still get along:" . . .
Comments:
One of many:
Most of the flack for the Confederate flag comes from northerner liberals and the media. We in the south just see it as a flag of history. Very few even pay attention to it and because we are mostly Conservative Christians, you have seen America that we do love our brothers and sisters, NO matter skin color! God made you and skin is the one thing you cannot change. Be blessed and love all because ALL lives matter in America!
 Another:
It is not the Confederate flag nor the American flag which is causing so many problems for black American families. It is the evil that is being perpetrated on them by the Marxist policies of the democrat party and the emperor Nero Obama in collusion with the Big Whigs of the Republican Party.
It is not the Confederate flag causing so many black Americans to kill other black Americans nor is it the American flag.
It is not the Confederate flag causing so much unemployment in the black American community nor is it the American flag.
It is not the Confederate flag causing so many black American women to abort their babies as the hero of the democrat party, Margaret Sanger, had envisioned in her diabolical "Negro Project" nor is it the American flag.
The Crucifix was a symbol of an unspeakably horrible death but the early Christians took that symbol of death and transformed it into s symbol of God's love for mankind and a symbol of new life. If the same would be done with the Confederate flag as these two courageous gentlemen are doing it would transform America in a very positive way.
There were forebearers of mine from both sides of my family who fought on both sides of that terrible conflict, the War Between The States, and I refuse to dishonor either side by not acknowledging the flag which either served under. It accomplishes absolutely nothing to do so and in truth only fosters continued divisions in America.
Again, I think these two gentlemen are courageous for what they did.

Awesome! Justice Scalia Goes Nuclear In Obamacare Dissent, “We Should Start Calling This Law SCOTUScare”…


1. “Words no longer have meaning if an Exchange that is not established by a State is ‘established by the State.’”

2. “Under all the usual rules of interpretation, in short, the Government should lose this case. But normal rules of interpretation seem always to yield to the overriding principle of the present Court: The Affordable Care Act must be saved.”

3. “Today’s interpretation is not merely unnatural; it is unheard of.”

4. “And the cases will publish forever the discouraging truth that the Supreme Court of the United States favors some laws over others, and is prepared to do whatever it takes to uphold and assist its favorites.”

5. “We should start calling this law SCOTUScare.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center's 'Enemy's List' of Female 'Muslim-Haters'

MRC/TV
 
"In the latest issue of Intelligence Report, the magazine of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), an anti-conservative "civil rights" group created a list of what they describe as the women of the anti-Muslim radical right. In the piece, this group, whose mission is "fighting hate and bigotry," promotes its own hatred against 12 women, many of them famous names such as Laura Ingraham, Jeanine Pirro, Ann Coulter, and Brigette Gabriel  branding them as Islamaphobes.. . .

"According to the article's authors, the piece was initiated in response to the Dallas shooting in May where two Muslim terrorists were killed outside a Muhammad cartoon contest organized by Pamela Geller, whom they describe as "the country’s most flamboyant and visible Muslim-basher." . . .

Supreme Court Upholds Tax Subsidies Under Obamacare

Obama Health Overhaul
http://www.idahostatesman.com

CBS/DC  via Drudge. . . "The outcome is the second major victory for Obama in politically charged Supreme Court tests of his most significant domestic achievement. It came the same day the court gave the administration an unexpected victory by preserving a key tool the administration uses to fight housing bias.

"Chief Justice John Roberts again voted with his liberal colleagues in support of the law. Roberts also was the key vote to uphold the law in 2012. Justice Anthony Kennedy, a dissenter in 2012, was part of the majority on Thursday.
 . . .
"
Scalia added, “Words no longer have meaning if an Exchange that is not established by a State is ‘established by the State.’ It is hard to come up with a clearer way to limit tax credits to state
"Exchanges than to use the words ‘established by the State.’ And it is hard to come up with a reason to include the words ‘by the State’ other than the purpose of limiting credits to state Exchanges.”

"Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas joined the dissent, as they did in 2012."

Coulter: "THERE'S A REASON WE MOSTLY HEAR ABOUT WHITE 'MICRO–AGGRESSIONS' "

 "The Charleston attack was a hideous, sickening crime. But that's why we should thank our lucky stars that it was so unusual. White-on-black violence is freakishly rare everywhere in America, except liberal imaginations."

Ann Coulter   . . . " The media's WHITES ARE TERRORIZING BLACKS campaign reflects reality as accurately as the media's other campaign, WHITE MALE COLLEGE STUDENTS ARE RAPING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!
"In a country of more than 300 million people, everything will happen eventually. That doesn't make it a trend. Go up to any ordinary, sentient person and ask: Which race assaults the other race more?

"Remember the "knockout game" -- or as its devotees called it, "polar bear hunting"? Black teenagers would go looking for white people to knock unconscious with a single punch, videotape the attacks and post them online. The knockout game was a real trend -- which the media denied was a trend.

"Just last month, we saw videos of white reporters from the Daily Caller being mugged by black men in Baltimore.
. . . "Ordinary people keep hearing that we are in the middle of an epidemic of white-on-black violence and think, Surely the media wouldn't be making this up, so I must be misinformed.
"According to a preposterously, laughably, ridiculously bogus report on "hate crimes" produced by Eric Holder's Justice Department, blacks are far more likely to be victims of hate crimes than whites are. It would be like a government report asserting that most rapes are committed by elderly white women." . . .


David Horowitz of FrontPage writes:
. . . We shouldn't be surprised that Obama would pour gasoline on the fires of racial division in a time of national crisis. After all, when he was first running for President and came under criticism for being in the congregation of the Reverend James Wright, who urged God to damn America, Obama excused Wright by throwing his own terminally ill white grandmother-a woman who had saved his life-- under the bus. The anti American black racist preacher was no more guilty, Obama said, than this "typical white woman" who had "uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe."

Since then, the man who was supposed to usher in a "post racial" era in America has instead mired us in a quagmire of racial discord and division that we haven't seen since the 1960s.

He made the execrable Al Sharpton an unofficial Race Czar, inviting him to the White House dozens of times since his first inauguration and following the racial ambulance-chaser's lead as Sharpton rushed off to one manufactured race crisis after another.

Biden Really Considering 2016 Run?


Legal Insurrection
 joe biden convertible
"Despite not having taken the step to even announce that he’s considering to announce a possible announcement about a run for the presidency, Joe Biden’s people are quietly saying he will decide soon.
"Biden’s entry into the race would certainly shakes things up. Despite the Hillary juggernaut, Biden could be a formidable opponent, and would certainly poll better as a candidate than he is now as Vice President. As for the potential run, CNN reports:" . . . 


"If Joe gets in and puts a dent in Hillary’s polling numbers, it will mean she can no longer hide from the press without consequences. Biden will also bring a burst of energy to the race, distinguishing himself from Bernie Sanders, who has appealed mostly to far left progressives. Biden will be strong talking to people in the middle class, particularly as he attempts to draw a distinction between himself and Hillary Clinton."
And Joe has this awesome background to talk about:

Next:  Joe Biden is shown in this 1988 NBC News program as a serial plagiarist and a blatant copycat.

The Dignity of Charleston Flies in the Face of the Left’s Uninformed, Anti-South Bigotry

 
Jonah Goldberg   "Lots of folks expected us to do something strange and break out in a riot. Well, they just don’t know us,” the Reverend Norvel Goff told the packed, multiracial congregation of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C., on Sunday. It was the first service since the horrific slaughter of nine innocent souls by a racist fanatic. Not being a Christian, I can only marvel at the dignity and courage of the victims’ relatives who forgave the shooter. If I could ever manage such a thing, it would probably take me decades. It took them little more than a day. Less shocking, but almost as uplifting, was the conduct of the broader Charleston community, which has been unified and dignified, despite the expectations of some in the media — and the accused gunman, who had singled out Charleston because of its success at racial integration." . . .
