681. Brief Thoughts - The Modern Day Confederacy
The Confederacy is alive and well in Kentucky and many other states which have a powerful-enough Tea Party influence in their state's Republican Party, as we do in Kentucky.
I have members of the Confederate Army in my family's lineage and have visited their graves, not because I revere them for their politics, but because they are flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood. I do not know if they were racist in their time or if they were simply young men in need of a paycheck and their destiny threw them in with the CSA.
I do know that the modern day Tea Party and Republican Party is full of people with beliefs I find abhorrent and un-Christlike, beliefs which are antithetic to many of my friends who are either non-white, non-Christian, non-American, or any of the many of other non's that most of us have come to accept as simply friends.
The American dream was built upon a melting pot of cultures and creeds. Those who would deny those same opportunities to the next generation of newcomers are simply un-American. America, the USA, defeated and put an end to the CSA in 1865. Long live America. Don't let these modern day Confederists, people President Lincoln called "elements in rebellion," destroy what is left of the good and great America.

I can and do, to an extent, excuse the racism of the people of the Civil War Era. Today, there is no excuse other than a mean (small) spirit. Read this post if you have a minute regarding the Day Law from 1904 in Kentucky if you are not familiar with it. We can go backwards. http://thebookofcletis.blogspot.com/
those that would deny people same exact possibilities for the up coming technology of newcomers are merely un-American.
