An email  from SLRC legal-eagle Kirk Lyons sez that a Texas poll due out soon finds that the Confederate community's view on Confederate symbols is shared by the general population.  The poll was taken via telephone.  A thousand people were asked: How do you view the Confederate Battle Flag? Should Confederate symbols be removed from the Capitol?   Should the Plaques have been removed from  the Supreme Court Building?  Should Confederate symbols be removed from Texas Courthouses?  Lyons writes, "The Confederate community will be able to use this information."  For a couple of examples, 61% of all Texans see the flag as a legitimate historical symbol.  Twenty-six percent approve of the removal, 46% disapprove, 19% no opinion, 9% don't know.  The poll also finds that a significant portion of the black community  --about 40 per cent -- is not offended by Confederate symbols.  The information is slated to be reported in a Houston Chronicle on Friday, Nov. 10, that vindicates the Confederate community's views on Confederate symbols.

Politicians judge hearts now?
Texas mayor implies that flag-flying constituent is a liar

There's a fellow in San Antonio who has decided to fly at his business -- along with other flags --  a Confederate battle flag to honor a Confederate ancestor.  Rudy Krish, III, plainly told the San Antonio Express-News, "I have a good reason for flying the flag, but in no way is it meant to hurt anyone.  I fly the flag as a tribute to all Texans who fought in that war, black, white and Mexican."Added Krish, " I know some people may look at that flag to mean something different, but that is not my intention."  Despite Krish's clear, concise, can't-possibly-misunderstand-it explanation, Mayor Howard Peak said he "hopes Krisch is sincere" in his reasons for flying it.That's as good as calling Krish a liar in my book -- and the height of hypocrisy, coming as it does from a politician....

South Carolina elects proflag Senators

Despite a bitterly fought race and vicious personal attacks by Democrats, two proConfederate Flag candidates have scored big wins in legislative races in South Carolina.  With 55% of the vote, Republican Danny Verdin, a former South Carolina SCV commander, beat a 16-year incumbent Jim Bryan for the District 9 Senate seat.  Incumbent GOP Senator Larry Grooms won his district race by a 51% vote.  Sources in South Carolina say Verdin faced the most negative campaign in state history, with Democrats launching a vicious personal attack on Verdin's character. The Bryan campaign repeatedly attempted to paint the League of the South as a racist hate group and tried to convince voters that Verdin, LoS member, was unfit for public service.  The worst part of the attack came in the final days when the Bryan campaign sent out a mailer depicting a burning U.S. flag and the slogan "Danny Verdin is Proud to Be Un-American." This vicious attack only served to weaken Bryan's support and the voters clearly rejected the message on election day.  Bravo, South Carolina voters!

"In Charleston, a Piggly Wiggly store was emptied of customers by a bomb threat phoned in to protest the selling of Maurice Bessinger's products before the announcement to remove them had been made.  In another Charleston store, a group of blacks entered the store and emptied several bottles of Maurice's barbecue sauce on the floor.  One Wal-Mart manager, who must remain anonymous, said the Wal-Mart and Sam's Clubs in South Carolina are being hurt by the boycott.  No wonder; people are beginning to wake up to the fact that Wal-Mart is heavily involved in doing business with Red China. An article in Business Week for October 23nd pointed out that many Wal-Mart products are produced by slave laborers in concentration and re-education camps."

SLRC chalks up another win
The Southern Legal Resources Center is kicking bootay and takin' names, folks. Email sez the City of West Columbia was fixin' to nix a big proSouthern, proMaurice, proFreeSpeech rally at WalMart (four-person limit, no signs, no flags) planned for late October.  Seems that when the superlawyers at the SLRC whispered "Lawsuit, anyone?" in the city's ear, minds got changed!  Amazing, the power of that little word.  Rumor has it that the protest took place as it was originally planned.  Great going, Counselors!

Couldn't take heat, vacated kitchen
Anti-Southern forum goes belly up 

"Dixie Perspective Is Not," a Yahoo club created about a year ago to ridicule and lie about Southern Nationalists, was recently shut down by its founder.  Southern patriots who were members of  of a newer club called "KramdenWatch," challenged the antiSouthern bigots with truth, logic and humor and finally caused them to throw in the towel.  Good job, Southrons!

Phone lines and DSL cables all through Dixie's corner of cyberspace are heating up with the news.  Bi-Lo-- one of those great American companies who thinks that the First Amendment doesn't apply to Maurice Bessinger -- is losing $10,000 a week ... per store ... after removing the yummy yellow sauce from their shelves.  Looks like anti-Southern bigotry is bad for business!

U.N. sanctions ... against Georgia?

 A cryptic post on a Southern forum reports that "bits and pieces" of information are floating around cyberspace suggesting that the NAACP and black politicians in Georgia might appeal to the United Nations if the Georgia flag is not changed.  The poster also said there have been calls for "international sanctions" against the State of Georgia over the flag.  Looks like the NAACP hasn't learned a thing from the tourism boom it created in South Carolina.  Georgians, prepare to see your incomes go due UP from U.N. sanctions.
