Southern Colors Day
AUGUST 29TH, 2016 IS "SOUTHERN COLORS PRIDE DAY"
ON THAT DAY LET THE CONFEDERATE FLAG FLY HIGH
As you are reading this our government, via the media, is conducting an all out offensive to destroy The History of The Confederacy. While I believe in and have Southern Pride, The Confederacy stands for and belongs to all of those who believe in Freedom. The Confederacy has its roots in the birth of the nation which is now known as The United States of America. The Confederacy was born on July 4th 1776, with the publishing of The Declaration of Independence. Since then liberals have been waging a war against The Confederacy. Their first attempt at destroying The Confederacy was the document which all of us at one time were brainwashed into believing was sacred; The U.S. Constitution. The Confederacy endured from 1781 until 1789. This period of the nations history is often ignored by most historians and scholars. It was during this interval in which the States had mastery over their own destiny and affairs. However, liberals of the time desired to create a strong central government in which the states would become subservient. The U.S. Constitution was born out of a aspiration to increase government control over the States, not restrain such. Patrick Henry, when addressing the liberals of his day, stated: "Where is the danger? If, sir, there was any, I would recur to the American spirit to defend us; that spirit which has enabled us to surmount the greatest difficulties: to that illustrious spirit I address my most fervent prayer to prevent our adopting a system destructive to liberty." Mr. Henry further continued: "This Constitution is said to have beautiful features; but when I come to examine these features, sir, they appear to me horribly frightful. Among other deformities, it has an awful squinting; it squints towards monarchy; and does not this raise indignation in the breast of every true American? Your President may easily become king. Your Senate is so imperfectly constructed that your dearest rights may be sacrificed by what may be a small minority; and a very small minority may continue forever unchangeably this government, although horridly defective. Where are your checks in this government? Your strongholds will be in the hands of your enemies. It is on a supposition that your American governors (i.e., Presidents) shall be honest, that all the good qualities of this government are founded; but its defective and imperfect construction puts it in their power to perpetrate the worst of mischiefs, should they be bad men; and, sir, would not all the world, from the eastern to the western hemisphere, blame our distracted folly in resting our rights upon the contingency of our rulers being good or bad? Show me that age and country where the rights and liberties of the people were placed on the sole chance of their rulers being good men, without a consequent loss of liberty! I say that the loss of that dearest privilege has ever followed, with absolute certainty, every such mad attempt". Patrick Henry along with others of the day loved Freedom and believed that America should continue as a Confederacy where each state maintained sovereignty. Sadly, Patrick Henry's words, "Your President may easily become king" would come to fruition with the election of the tyrannical Abe Lincoln. Patrick Henry also noted the constitution itself provided the government the means to circumvent the constitution itself: "The next clause of the bill of rights tells you, "that all power of suspending law, or the execution of laws, by any authority, without the consent of the representatives of the people, is injurious to their rights, and ought not to be exercised." This tells us that there can be no suspension of government or laws without our own consent; yet this Constitution can counteract and suspend any of our laws that contravene its oppressive operation; for they have the power of direct taxation, which suspends our bill of rights; and it is expressly provided that they can make all laws necessary for carrying their powers into execution; and it is declared paramount to the laws and constitutions of the states. Consider how the only remaining defense we have left is destroyed in this manner. Besides the expenses of maintaining the Senate and other house in as much splendor as they please, there is to be a great and mighty President, with very extensive powers — the powers of a king. He is to be supported in extravagant magnificence; so that the whole of our property may be taken by this American government, by laying what taxes they please, giving themselves what salaries they please, and suspending our laws at their pleasure". In 1861 men of great courage stood up to the Constitutional form of government being practiced by The United States and re-instituted The Confederate States of America. The Confederacy maintained that each state was sovereign and that men should have the right to self-govern. The Confederacy was not born out of a love of the institution of slavery, far be it, The Confederacy was born out of a love of Freedom. As a matter of fact The Confederacy did not take part in the slave trade as did its neighbor to the north, The United States. Sadly, with the victory over and occupation of The Confederate States of America by Lincoln's army, the truth of why the war was waged has also become a casualty to the north's aggression. The Confederate States are now occupied and being forced to live under the rule of a despotic constitutional government. This is why we must carry on the fight and protect the true history of our cause. The memory of men such as Patrick Henry, Robert E. Lee, Bedford Forrest and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson cannot be erased. For if the remembrance of these men is abolished from our culture we are allowing Freedom itself to be obliterated. Why do the liberals fight so hard to tear down our markers and besmirch the men of The Confederacy? Is it not because the legacy of the The Confederacy is that of a fight against tyranny? Is it not because the embers of Freedom still glow and the fire they threaten to reignite are a menace to their tyrannical agenda? Patrick Henry stated that a constitutional government was a threat to freedom and would allow the minority the ability to oppress the majority: "This, sir, is the language of democracy — that a majority of the community have a right to alter government when found to be oppressive. But how different is the genius of your new Constitution from this! How different from the sentiments of freemen, that a contemptible minority can prevent the good of the majority!" Flying The Battle Flag of The Confederacy on August 29th, 2016 is just a small way of letting the world know that you stand for Freedom. However, with a massive display of The Confederate Battle Flag on that day we can show the politicians and the world that we are not willing to let Freedom die or the memory of those who fought for freedom perish. The spirit of The Confederacy can be summed up in three simple words which are to be directed toward any form of government: LET US ALONE!! It is government which enslaves us and destroys our Freedom and Wealth. A small group of "elites" which desire to be treated as royalty imposes taxation, so they may live off of our labors. This small group holds the majority in bondage and threatens fines and imprisonment to any who desire to live outside of the confines of their grasp. They promise to us danger if we seek Freedom from their oppression. They declare our only guarantee of safety is in our continuous servitude to their system. In his argument against constitutional government Patrick Henry stated; " go to the poor man, and ask him what he does. He will inform you that he enjoys the fruits of his labor, under his own fig-tree, with his wife and children around him, in peace and security. Go to every other member of society, — you will find the same tranquil ease and content; you will find no alarms or disturbances. Why, then, tell us of danger, to terrify us into an adoption of this new form of government? And yet who knows the dangers that this new system may produce? They are out of the sight of the common people: they cannot foresee latent consequences. I dread the operation of it on the middling and lower classes of people: it is for them I fear the adoption of this system.... Will the great rights of the people be secured by this government? Suppose it should prove oppressive, how can it be altered? Our bill of rights (Articles of Confederation) declares, "that a majority of the community hath an indubitable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to reform, alter, or abolish it, in such manner as shall be judged most conducive to the public weal. I have just proved that one tenth, or less, of the people of America — a most despicable minority — may prevent this reform or alteration." Patrick Henry believed in a Confederacy, not a constitutional republic. He knew the dangers which the proposed constitutional republic presented to the common man. The Confederacy served to provide a common defense while ensuring the sovereignty of each participating state. Under state sovereignty each individual practiced self-government without fear of regulation by a ruling class. It is this ideal in which we fight for and hope to restore. In closing, I request that everyone who loves The Confederacy and Freedom share this post. May we band together in the face of tyranny and proclaim to those who seek to destroy our Freedom that we will not perish without a fight. Those who oppose Freedom have made great gains and are now preparing to forward their agenda of tyranny and oppression. If we want to restore The Confederacy and the Freedom which accompanies it, we must be more diligent than they. Flying the Battle Flag at your home or on your vehicle is just one small way of saying "Let Us Alone".~William Moore
