"Neo-Confederates" an evil religious cult...

[twayne]

This is a good one guys.


Note: I have many differences with the below article, the least of which is the use of the term "Neo" as a prefix to Confederate. Neo means new, and there is nothing new about being a Confederate. Lastly, she references my website www.csanews.net/ which has always advocated lawful, peaceful and honorable means. I cannot vouch for how other use the material posted on the site! But I can say this: It is critical that good, honorable and reasonible people come together into a national alliance and get involved in the Confederate movement through political means, or the day may well come when others may chose different course of action. The day when all of our organizations and members go their seperate way, is just about over. For we shall soon stand together, or hang seperately, and that is not intended as an historic quote.

Do you know that thousands of Confederate re-enactors argue the Civil War is not over? They declare the South will rise again, and advocate overthrowing the United States federal government and establishing a confederacy. More important, they boldly threaten they will use force, if necessary. They are the Neo-Confederates.

In the opening statement of “The Rebirth of Confederate Society” at www.csanews.net, the Neo-Confederates boast: “While we grow as a movement, you may not see our name splashed across the headlines, nor our leadership addressing the masses, but we will be there, behind the scenes, every mile of the way, planning, coordinating and instituting plans and programs aimed at the eventual vindication of our just and honourable cause.” (Emphasis added.) Clearly, they’re bragging about their covert activities.

The Neo-Confederates are not an isolated religious cult; they attend our local churches. They are Baptists, Methodists, Assemblies of God, and other mainline denominations; and quote Scripture to defend their liberation theology. The Neo-Confederates believe their mission from God is to liberate the Confederate States of America.

Michael Hill, president of the Neo-Confederate organization the League of the South, declares on their web site www.dixienet.org : "Once The League of the South has made 'The Community of the Southern People' a reality, then we can pursue our political objectives: a return to constitutional republicanism and true federalism, or if that should prove unattainable, secession." The process for secession is further explained at www.newconfederacy.com. In sum, it declares that if the existing United States government does not recognize the votes of the Neo-Confederates to join the Confederate States, then "there may very well be a situation which may have to be settled by force." Furthermore, Article IV of the "The Confederate Legion Handbook" at www.csanews.net proclaims: “The loss of this phase of the ongoing War for Southern Independence would mean the extinction of all that we know as Confederate and Southern. Passing on to our descendants yet unborn, the necessity of fighting the bloodiest revolution in human history, in order to regain lost liberties.” (Emphasis added.)

However, don't let the words "passing on to our descendents yet unborn" fool you. Hill declares in "The Issue of Race in the Southern Independence Debate" at www.dixienet.org/positions/race.htm: "Recently, I heard someone (not a League member, by the way) propose that after independence we must negotiate with responsible black leaders to see who gets what piece of real estate. I don't know about this fellow, but Alabama is my home and I plan on staying here, God willing." Now, this tells us that Hill plans on the new confederacy being established in his lifetime. Unfortunately, he has thousands of rebel comrades.

Unquestionably, the Neo-Confederates are not merely passively resisting the federal government; they are actively moving toward liberation. We must safeguard our liberty. We must safeguard our families. We must act now!

Would you please read my article “Religious Rebels” at www.libertyadvocate.com ? I hope you will investigate and denounce this evil religious cult. Clearly, Neo-Confederates threaten our homeland security.

as you said, neo means new there is nothing new about us nor our cause. that shows she hasnt got her facts together ....secondly i dare her call us a "religous cult" (as if it is a bad thing even more so) We are a group who merly want our freedom back, and the freedom of the south, and unlike the liberal elite and or dumbasses such as this one, yes we do believe in god, yes we do go to church..yes we do read the bible. and yet, she is trying to make all that sound bad! Another point she seems to be missing is the only reason we would use force is if force was used to try to keep us from leaving the union!

...its sad...really it is

[shotgunsbaby]

OH MY GOD... That was about the most annoying thing I have ever read... That women who pretty much stupid.
Sorry I have not posted lately...been busy with school....and I probally will be for the next weekand a half...

[GrayGhost]

This Chicken Little author is laughable. LOL!

So she thinks that Confederates form some sort of "religious" cult and that we are a "threat to Homeland Security"? Excuse me while I finish choking on my coffee.

This person obviously has bought completely into the Yankee myth and Federal propoganda that any Confederate (I refuse to use the Yankee term "Neo-Confederate") is "evil" and out to kill people. She apparently reads whatever she wants to out of online sites and ignores the rational posts and articles stating that we wish to leave the Union peacefully, much as our ancestors did in 1860.

Well, there's a lot to be torn apart in this article as you good folks have already begun but I'd like to make two points.

This woman is not alone. It would be nice if she was one loan hysterical idiot but she's not. Our enemies have been working tirelessly to reach Joe and Jane Sixpack and tell them how "evil" we are. Now here's one who has decided to write an article on all the things she has learned during her re-education. She'll reach countless thousands more and most will take her word for it without further investigation. Unfortunate but true.

Second, I don't know why she thinks Confederate re-enactors are any big threat. I've been re-enacting for several years and most re-enactors would be scared of the tenents of the League of the South. Most of them just want to "play army" on the weekends and get most of their "history" from glossy covered "Civil War" magazines. Magazines which portray boths sides as righteous and honorable brothers who just had a brief spat and then sat down and had a big group hug afterwards. Such litterary rubbish raises up cowardly, non-thinking sheep who would never put a minie ball on top of their powder no matter how oppressive government became.

Now I've met a few re-enactors who might like to work towards Southern independence but they're already in the LoS. Most who talk a good line about the righteousness of our ancestors wouldn't think twice about losing their jobs or lives to see the Cause brought to fruition. Same goes for SCV members.

Before anyone gets upset let me say that I'm a member of the LoS, the SCV and a re-enactor so I feel like I can point out weakness when I see it.

But anyway, yes, the woman is a stark raving idiot or perhaps a cunning enemy. Only a black bag operation on her house would tell us which. LOL

God Save the South,

[Michael]

very true CornFedReb, and that goes for alot of people there might be a wholeeee lot of people out there who want a free south....but the question is how many would lay their jobs, way of living and even life on the line to see it

[GrayGhost]

Cornfed is right. This lunatic and her ravings will reach a lot of people, and you can bet the Feds will perpetuate this B.S. because it works against our goal of freedom.

He is also right in that many people talk a good game, or are play actors who read those politically correct magazines preaching up the North as honorable as the South. If it came down to it, I doubt most of them would be willing to sacrifice anything to make Southern independence a reality.

What remains to be answered is how do we sway more people to our cause? How do we convince them that independence is not only our right, but it is the right thing for the South?
