Mississippi Group Proposes Measure For ‘Confederate Heritage Month’
A proposed ballot measure by a Mississippi Heritage group would recognize Christianity as the state’s official religion and English as the state’s official language.
The initiative states that the 12-part measure would also establish “Confederate Heritage Month,” which would provide a curriculum base for school children to learn about “Mississippi’s Confederate history, heritage, achievements, and prominent people.”
“We want to give Mississippians the voice they deserve regarding their heritage,” Arthur Randallson, director of the Magnolia State Heritage Campaign, said.”We believe people should get a chance vote on these important issues and preserve these elements of our heritage.”
Included in the initiative would be flying the Confederate battle flag on the grounds of the Mississippi state capitol, mandating that the Mississippi state flag pledge of allegiance be recited after the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance, and the mandatory broadcast of the song “Dixie” immediately following the playing of the “Star Spangled Banner” in public venues.
If the measure passes, the University of Mississippi’s on-field mascot would (again) become “Colonel Reb” and the song “Dixie” would be played by the university.
Or, they could just secede and be done with it.

Will the US Navy get to sail up the Mississippi River to blow the hell out of the ‘defenders’ of Vicksburg again?

And Germany should institute a Nazi remembrance holiday, celebrating the achievements of the years 1933-1945.
I’ve been given two explanations of what happened during the Nazi era:
1) Hitler had good intentions for Germany and didn’t know about what his wicked subordinates were doing;
2) Hitler had the right idea, and it’s a shame that he wasn’t allowed to complete his program. Britain and America should have joined in with Germany, Hitler was fighting for their interests too.
These ideas were offered, as far as I could see, in all sincerity. Exactly like these neo-Confederates,.who apparently actually believe the pernicious nonsense they’re spewing.
