MORE ABOUT THIS WEBSITE

I. The sentiments of this website.

"All we ask is to be let alone." (Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America .)

“We may be very quiet. But we are everywhere, we cantankerous, contrarian members of the Leave Me Alone Coalition.” (“Claire Wolfe”, noted libertarian.)

"The principle for which we contend is bound to reassert it's self, though it may be at another time and in another form . . . . The contest is not over, the strife is not ended. It has only entered upon a new and enlarged arena.” (Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America .)

"But let us not forget that it is poetry, not logic; beauty, not sense. Think of the argument in it. Put it into the cold words of everyday. The doctrine is simply this: that the Union soldiers who died at Gettysburg sacrificed their lives to the cause of self-determination—"that government of the people, by the people, for the people," should not perish from the earth. It is difficult to imagine anything more untrue. The Union soldiers in that battle actually fought against self-determination; it was the Confederates who fought for the right of their people to govern themselves. What was the practical effect of the battle of Gettysburg? What else than the destruction of the old sovereignty of the States, i.e., of the people of the States? The Confederates went into battle free; they came out with their freedom subject to the supervision and veto of the rest of the country—and for nearly twenty years that veto was so effective that they enjoyed scarcely more liberty, in the political sense, than so many convicts in the penitentiary". (H.L. Mencken, noted libertarian and kurmudjeon, on Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.)

"Lincoln's war implied, and the Gettysburg Address set to words, a firm message to the States of the Union - I love you, and if you leave me, I'll hunt you down and kill you. The Address was not the sagely comments of a wise statesmen, rather the vain, obsessive ranting of a power-hungry demon engaging in a blood-thirsty mission of self-aggrandizement, no matter the volume of corpses required to attain it." (Lewis Goldberg, author)

"The Northern onslaught upon slavery was no more than a piece of humbug designed to conceal its desire for economic control of the Southern states." (Charles Dickens, noted literary figure.)

"Were it not for the wounds that Lincoln inflicted upon the Constitution, it would have been infinitely more difficult for Franklin Roosevelt to carry through his revolution, for the coercive welfare state to come into being and bring about the conditions against which we are fighting today." (Frank Meyer, paleolibertarian political filosofer)

"(As a result of the War Between the States), the old federal republic in which the national government had rarely touched the average citizen except through the post-office gave way to a more centralized polity that taxed the people directly and created an internal revenue bureau to collect these taxes, drafted men in the army, expanded the jurisdiction of federal courts, created a national currency and a national banking system, and established the first national agency for social welfare- the Freedmen's Bureau. Eleven of the first twelve amendments to the Constitution had limited the powers of the national government; six of the next seven, beginning with the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865, vastly expanded those powers at the expense of the states." (James M. McPherson, damn Yankee historian, but quite honest here)

"America and the whole world is crying out for the spirit of the Old South." (G.K. Chesterton, noted literary figure and Christian philosopher.)

"The cause of the South is the cause of us all." (Alexander Stephens, Vice-President of the Confederate States of America .)

Con-fed-er-a-TAR-i-an: 1) confederate + libertarian; 2) an individual who tells every tyrant to go to hell, not just Yankee tyrants, but who does so preferably from within the confines of Dixie.

LINCOLN BICENTENNIAL

This here 19th-century image is one of "Honest Abe" Lincoln as th' "Federal Phoenix" arisin' from th' ashes of th' US Constitution, Commerce, Credit, Habeas Corpus, States Rights and a Free Press, all named in th' burnin' logs below him. Most of "Honest Abe's" modern emulators are historic'ly ignurnt 'n tharfore don't realize wut opposition thar wuz to him back in th' day, not ohnly in th' Confederate states, but in th' North too. Th' man wuz a cad 'n a despot, but later generashuns of Americans wud become hornswaggled by th' orficial National Myth and Piety, gittin' all patriotic feelin' when th' Battle Hymn of th' Republic Empire is played 'n whin they gaze upohn his Zeus-like image in-att temple thar at Rome ohn th' Potomac. 'N now we got the Lincoln Bicentennial comin' upohn us from th' storage bin of th' grapes of wrath, with all sorts of silly celebratin' 'n honorin' t' be done by both libruls 'n so-called conservatives alike(which is fittin' since it's both th' Evil Party and th' Stupid Party which are the ideological heirs of Lincoln). Well, as cud be expected, ol' Jones is one-a many-a paleocon who'll be observin' this here bicentennial by flyin' Confed'rate flags and tellin' th' truth t' Americans 'bout who ol' Abe really wuz. I am lankin' a series of my own posts as well as those of other Confed'rate truth tellers here. We report, y'all decide.

Yir Host:

Howdy, y'all. Name-a Snaggle-Tooth Jones. Well, it ain't my real name, but I'm a-usin' it as my nom de cyber for this here blog. The real Snaggle-Tooth Jones were a Colorader Confedrate irreglar. He and his fellow Reb militia, purport'dly under Captains Matteson and Pierson (one or both from Texas), holded up for a time in the Southern part of the Territory, at Mace's Hole near modurn-day Beulah and surroundin' environs, doin' no good to Colorader Yankees. They hoped to steal gold and silver from the mines and shuffle it away to the Southern Confedracy, and also to pester any Federals in Colorader they could find. Which they did. Said to eventually have come under the command of Col. John Heffinger. May have later joined the Reb army down in New Mexico, but the Yankees whupped the Rebs real good at the Battle of Glorieta Pass. Damn.

Anyway, I'll be a-talkin' 'bout U.S. 'n Colorado politics mostly, 'specially 'bout them damn fool libruls and how they fixin' to take away our rights and tax the bejezus out of us and all. Also about them golderned imposter neocons. Hell, I guess about Yankeedumb in gineral. They done quite a thang with that Union of theirs, those Yankees, don't y'all agree? I mean, ain't we proud of New York City, Washington City ("Rome on the Potomac"), and Denver City (and County)? And don't y'all like poplar culture? That rap music? Paris Hellton?

Or how 'bout King Bill Ritter 'n his court jester John Hickenluper?

How 'bout 'merican teleevishun? Or all them work-savin' gadgets that 'r turnin' us all into fat blobs? Or them cell phone earpieces that make people look like crazy persons a-talkin' to themselves. Almost makes a body want to become a Confederatarian.

Me? Hell, I'm just a good ole boy who lives up there in them Colorader hills, jus' like the real Snaggle-Tooth. Got me a 6th-grade educashun and one of them newfangled 'puters, so I thought I'd start me a blog jus' like ever'one else.
