The Sons of Confederate Veterans is appealing a ruling by a Federal judge which supported a decision by the scalawag and carpetbag local government of Lexington, Virginia that effectively bans the traditional display of the most recognisable symbol of the Southern people and culture. Sadly, this appeal will be made to another Federal court. Once again the Feds will dictate policy to Southerners. HamptonRoads.com has a report from the Associated Press:
The Sons of Confederate Veterans is appealing the dismissal of its lawsuit challenging Lexington’s decision to banish the Confederate flag and other banners from city light poles.
Attorneys for the Rutherford Institute signaled their appeal Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Roanoke. The civil rights group is appealing to the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond.
A judge in Roanoke concluded last month that Lexington officials did not violate the group’s free speech rights when it limited the flying of flags on city light poles to flags representing the state, the nation [sic] and the city.
The Rutherford Institute’s John Whitehead contends, however, that the city’s actions amount to “viewpoint discrimination.” Attorneys for the so-called Southern heritage group are preparing legal briefs for the filing in the 4th Circuit.
Notice how the United States, a vast multi-national empire, is referred to as ‘the nation.’ Also notice how the Rutherford Institute is described as a ‘so-called Southern heritage group.’ Would the media ever refer to the NAAPC, ADL or SPLC as ‘so-called civil rights’ groups? Of course not. The anti-Southern media bias here is quite obvious.

The anti-Southern Establishment hates Southern people, culture & symbols
Sad to see people fight that fight, monument by monument.
—rather than trying to go to the heart of the matter, get off the defensive position that these groups are always in, and simply attack, themselves— and attack for cause, on the basis of why people are running all over the country, ripping down things— what’s their agenda?
Symbol desecration is genocide.
To really be free from the American Empire… Southerners must simply start ignoring the federal government and the local state and local government politicians that worship them. It is ridiculous to think that a federal court will truly be sympathetic to Southerners. I mean, after all, there are really only two outcomes. One in which the Southerner people are eradicated from the South or one in which the Southern people defy the government and refuse to go quietly in the night.
Yes… symbol desecration in an area where the people lived is genocide.
Meantime… no one is forcing illegal aliens to remove their home country flags from t-shirts, from carrying them around, from in front of businesses, and so on. MANY recently transplanted people —who swore an OATH to reject all other powers, in a loyalty oath—- STILL FLY their home country flags.
In other countries, this could be cause for deportation, revocation of “documented worker” status, and so on.
It is only the Southern Flag (s) and southern monuments that are being torn down.
No one is insisting that anyone remove puerto rican flags, mexican flags, any south american flag, british flag, irish flag, and so on—- anyone in the “u.s.” is encouraged to fly these other national flags. They can be flags from defeated nations, also.
ONLY the Southern people are being attacked and their flags and monuments removed. Flag and symbol desecration is a part of genocide.
Agreed. Look at all the Che Guevara and Malcolm X shirts, banners, etc.
Black Panthers terrorise a voting precinct and get away with that? If the Klan did that……not that I like the Klan, I hate them for what they did to the Confederate flag, but I’m just saying.
There is no such thing as ‘the Klan’. You have various splintered groups all over the country, similiar to SCV. Some are made up of run of the mill white trash and others who simply promote/fight for white people’s best interest. You even have some groups that have lowered their standards to allow in Atheists and Pagans. It really is a mixed bag. I see the better Klans as a less PC version of the SCV.
The better Klans promote:
Strong Christian values
White pride unashamedly
A White majority South
Traditional Southern heritage and values
Freedom of association
The worst SCV groups promote:
An integrated/mongrelized third world South aslong as you speak Southron twang
Jesus was a noble mixed race man not a white, racist, bigot, nazi
Kissing H.K. Edgerton’s ass every chance you get
Making sure you over estimate the amount of slaves who wore grey
Apoligize for slavery and help tear down Confederate monuments
My point is not all Klans are our enemy and not all SCV groups are our friend. Take it as you wish.
