Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is in Virginia and trying to appeal to working class Southerners. His focus: spending more (borrowed) money on US militarism. Of course, the Federal Government already spends almost as much on its military as the rest of the countries on this planet combined. It already has roughly 1,000 foreign military bases (as far as anyone can tell) and is fighting in military conflicts on multiple continents. However, Romney apparently believes this to be inadequate. He also seems to believe that White working class voters in the South think it to be inadequate. But does it benefit working class Southerners if the CEOs of Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon take in millions more dollars this year from US taxpayers? Does it benefit Southerners (who make up a disproportionate percentage of the US soldiers) if there are more US foreign wars? Does it really matter to Southerners if Washington, DC controls foreign countries like Yemen, Afghanistan, Somalia and Nigeria?
Isn’t the transformation of the Southern States into a Third World land of much greater importance? Isn’t the future of the South far more important than starting yet another foreign war (where Southerners will do the bulk of the fighting and dying)? Why does Romney focus on foreign issues and support a Third World America? Oh. I see.
There will be no mention of stopping and reversing the tide of immigration.
Nor will there be any promises of protecting life by ending abortion.
There won’t be any mention of State’s Rights.
Nor any mention of ‘law and order’ (That’s code for locking up black people you know).
There won’t be any mention of returning manufacturing jobs through changing trade policy.
Nor any mention of ending anti-white discrimination.
There will be no mention of any of these items much less promises concerning them.
Instead there will only be talk of war. That is the purpose of Southerners in the empire. Paying for, fighting in and dying in its wars.
Sadly, you are correct, Harold. You sum it up very well. The sooner more of our people realise this, the better.
So, I have a couple of questions.
1) Do we sit out the November election, hand it to Obama, and secede on November 7th? OR
2) Do we elect Romney/Ryan, giving ourselves breathing room to solidify before secession?
The dangers in either scenario are clear. Secession immediately following an Obama reelection will not occur, due to the lack of will and intestinal fortitude in enough people to make it happen. Then, Obama and his minions have four more years to complete their rape of the nation, including the South. And make no mistake in this. They intend to completely destroy the South through their unholy alliances with groups such as La Raza, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and others.
If the Republicans win, we face the same intentions, only cloaked better. The Republican establishment are as bent on the destruction and subjugation of southerners as are Democrats, but for different reasons. Where the Democrat wants to continually punish the collective South for the sin of slavery, Republicans fear our dedication to our homeland and preserving our culture and way of life, our nationalism. They fear our withdrawal of monetary support, and conservative votes, from their candidates.
And, don’t forget, whoever wins the November election, that Bill and Hillary Clinton are champing at the bit awaiting their opportunity to take over the reins of the Democrat Party.
So, what is the answer? I don’t have them. My personal opinion, growing in resolve daily, is to call for the immediate dissolution of the US, and return to the several states their rightful status as independent republics. I don’t hold out much hope, otherwise.
Deo Vindice!

Actually, I don’t think he’s trying to talk to working class white southerners AT ALL.
This is just to rally the Northeast Transplant base in the south, which is the military. Not only did they not leave after the WBTS, but they have built many bases all over the south. NC, SC, FL, GA—- are full of the military transplants. Because they had homes near bases, they often “retire” there.
So, the “New South” is the military (because those are the transplants who live there).
There is no attempt to talk to real Southerners at all.
And why would there be? The Appalachian-Scots end of them (like border states) love real Freedom. They don’t want the military (except for genuine defense, not as empire, especially the Spanish-toned empire that u.s. has now); the deeper South does have a contigent –largely catholic nationalists who do want empire with mexico and the blended continent.
They always felt more comfortable with Mexicans than with the original Americans, who are Northern Europeans.
So, they made their choice to have loyalty with Mexico and South America, but not to be social, not really, with Northern Europeans (yankees or southern Northern Euros).
The Military People are all over the south, due to the bases—- and so they are promising them money for votes (Just like the democrats do the welfare and civil service groups).
Republicans = Warfare Areas. Democrats= Welfare Areas (and their middle managers dispensing the money)
The real South has nothing to do with either
