For the first time ever, the group is unifying across geography.  So now, Southerners are finding staunch allies in traditional Midwesterners, and those in Appalachia, and with Mormons\u2026 and with so many others, all over.<\/p>\n<p>This is shocking and new, and it might be the root cause of all the embarrassing problems, setbacks, and mishaps that the regime has had domestically since Obama\u2019s inauguration.  And I think that this fact may be the stake that kills liberalism dead forever.<\/p>\n<p>Reading the mainstream media, you can tell that liberals are thinking, wrongly, that the Confederate flag is an issue that concerns only Southerners.  This is very wrong- in these times, when everyone feels like they\u2019re under attack, an attack on one is an attack on all.<\/p>\n<p>So I\u2019m seeing an outpouring of messages and posts now from people outside the South who want to support the flag and even display it.  And I\u2019m still thinking myself of joining them.<\/p>\n<p>After all, if we\u2019re all just \u201cEvil White Men\u201d, than I guess that the Confederate flag really <i>is<\/i> my culture, even if my ancestors supported the Union.  I mean, we\u2019re all in this together now, right?<\/p>\n<p>The regime is creating a monster with these actions- a monster it cannot defeat, let alone control.  In not paying attention, in refusing to compromise, in refusing to listen to others, it has dug its own grave and handed its enemies a loaded gun.<\/p>\n<p>Think- the largest unified demographic on Earth, armed to the teeth, and extremely pissed off.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re nuts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One more thought- it is interesting and unprecedented to see what\u2019s happening on the ground floor of the conservative, white male demo.
