Last month, I started this column
with this remark:
 "In early November, the elections will be over, and we'll know (as one Southron puts it) whether we have a president who will drive America off a cliff at 80 miles an hour -- or one who will drive us off a cliff at 60 miles an hour. The country won't be any better off, whoever wins, but at least the media campaign frenzy will be over for a while. A small blessing to be thankful for..."Boy, was I wrong! By now, we're all sick of the attempted theft of the election in Florida by the Gore forces and the media's obsession with it. That's why at 180 DTS, we're giving you a break from that particular manifestation of the Empire's madness. I'm a member of several proSouthern forums and mailing lists, where reports of heritage violations frequently appear. If you are, too, you've no doubt noticed that some of the worst violators are Dixie's public schools, with their nebuous policies and assumptions of racism regarding Southern symbols. Is there anything we can do about it? Check out one idea for a Southern response in Back to Basics. If you can think of others, send them to me and we'll do a follow up article with your suggestions. Have you ever noticed how our "period dress" would hang on our ancestors like a croker sack? It's time to get Fit for Dixie! Think of the awesome physical endurance of our ancestors, soldier and civilian alike, during the War. Have we, under Yankee occupation, gotten soft and weak like Imperial culture at large? Maybe we should start our own personal, private fitness campaigns -- we may some day need that strength and endurance. Somebody posted on the Southern Heritage maillist the URL of one of the dorkiest anti-Confederate websites I've seen to date. It's so inane it really didn't even deserve to be backsassed -- but I couldn't help myself! Hope y'all get a chuckle out of Skewering a Scalawag Website. It's time we start calling the Maurice Bessinger situation what it is -- persecution -- and step up our efforts to show his persecutors that there is a price to pay for coercive anti-Southern bigotry. I've made a down-and-dirty "window" bumper sticker to help Southerners spit in the eye of Bessinger's chief persecutor, Wal-Mart. Y'all print out and display "Wal-Mart is Anti-Southern" and lets blanket Dixie with 'em. And remember, Maurice's yummy yellow sauce makes a great Christmas gift! Some new stuff this issue -- Great Reading Off-site provides links to some excellent timely articles you may not have yet seen on other proSouthern sites....Want an email notice when a new montly issue of 180 DTS goes online? Look for the mailbox on page one to sign up. The Empire's rendition of "the holiday season" is upon us but I am not PC enough to wish all my Southern friends and compatriots "happy holidays." What I hope and wish for you all is Merry Christmas and Happy Independence!
