Speaking of Losers
Apparently some "Southern Heritage" site linked to one of my "The Confederates Were Losers" screeds, which is precipitating another wave of good ol' boys to trot out their victimized wailings and send them to me in poorly spell-checked form. To forestall having the same argument over and over again, this would be a good time to trot out the various screeds I have on the subject in my archives and link to them, so they can read them all before sending their verbiage. So here they are.
Confederate Flags are Racist Symbols of Evil (Scroll down a bit)
State Flags Based on Confederate Flags are Also Racist and Evil
And Even Good Ol' Boys Know This (To a Point)
And I Don't Care That You Think I'm Being Unfair to the Confederacy.
I hope this clears up any confusion.
Update: I've had cause to add a new installment: The "States' Rights" Argument is Just Plain Stupid. Enjoy!
