We are here today to talk about Alexander Stephens, a truly great Confederate statesman, and a great Georgian, too

Alexander Stephens was certainly a great statesman; he was a Christian man, and I can think of no greater thing to say about Alexander Stephens or any other Confederate forefather except this: Alexander Stephens cared more about honoring eternal God-established principles than he cared about honoring any man-made artificial Union. And we today would do well to remember the example that Alexander Stephens set for us, and our other Confederate forefathers.

Standing here today I want to share some things that I believe Alexander Stephens would have said if he were here today. I am not going to give you a long dissertation on the life of Alexander Stephens. I want to share a message with you that I believe Alexander Stephens would like presented today if he were here. Honoring our past and our forefathers is only important if we link it to the present. If we fail to do that then we will have dishonored our forefathers in the worst way possible, because the principles for which they stood in 1860 to 1865, and through all the years of continuous re-construction, after all, are the same principles that you and I are obligated to stand for today. It is no more difficult for us today then it was for our Confederate forefathers. And if we do not do that today we do them a great injustice.

So I’d like to present to you today a message entitled 'Southern Redemption'.

I don't know if you are familiar with the idea of a perceived "Southern Redemption"? Let me just put it in a nutshell before we get started: After the ravages of war and re-construction every Southern State was totally decimated, both in a material sense, and in that they were not in control of their own government. The people of every Southern State had no control of their own State government and carpetbaggers and scalawags were in control. There was a time at the "end" of reconstruction when Southerners finally (through a number of different means) began to "regain control". They began to "regain control" over their own State governments; they began to "regain control" over their own economy; and they began to "regain control" over their own personal liberty by standing together and turning out the scalawags, the carpetbaggers and the feds. At least it appeared that there was an "end" to reconstruction. Today we know that reconstruction never ended. Just because the Southern States were, through force, "readmitted" back to the Union does not mean that reconstruction ended.

Folks, I’d like to tell you today that we are much in need for a true Southern Redemption. That's what I'd like to speak on today - Southern Redemption. If there is one thing that we've learned over the past 12 months here in Georgia, it is that we cannot expect to win this cultural war through civilized deals with the enemy. For the enemy is not a civilized enemy. He is dishonest and altogether dishonorable, just like his detestable forefathers who invaded the Southland in 1861, and who waged a total war of rape, pillage and fiery plunder against our defenseless mothers and grand-mothers in Georgia in 1864. The enemy today is of no better moral character (and maybe less) than his detestable forefathers. We should expect no different treatment today then our forefathers did. We have learned - some of us in this room, even our leadership, has learned - over the past 12 month that we will not be able to except any quiet deals with the enemy to win this battle, because the enemy will not honor the deals that he makes. There are men in this room that will stand and attest to this fact. The enemy will not honor the deals that he makes. We must take our message to the people of Georgia and to the people of Dixie. As you look around the room and you see the descendants of our great Confederate forefathers I ask you the question: If we, present here in this room, we who represent other like-minded Southerners, members of our organizations who are not here for one reason or another, if we fail to provide the leadership that the Southern people need who will provide it? You see, it's up to the people who are in this room today to make a commitment in their hearts and in their minds that we will lead the people of Dixie, the people of Georgia. And all the people that we know that are like-minded must be encouraged to make the same commitment; for someone must stand up with an unequivocal voice and say 'We will change the way things are'. We want real and true Southern Redemption.

Folks, I look around the room and there are plenty of folks in here to start such a thing. But we must make that commitment in our hearts, in our minds, and in our very souls. Folks, I tell you, if we are successful in rousing the good old boys and the good old girls in Georgia and in all of Dixie, who knows? Perhaps we may see another muster of diehard Confederates rising up and swarming all over Dixie one day. Ours is the responsibility to begin that movement. We already see the awakening of it. The flag came down in South Carolina and then our flag was stolen here in Georgia. We see the beginnings of a true viable Southern Movement. We must not allow it to die 12 months after our flag has been stolen. This must only be the beginning of the Southern Movement across Dixie.

See folks, because of our Celtic background here in the South, we are a people that basically just like to be left alone. I think that is probably true for most of the good Christian folks in this room and most Southerners, we just like to be left alone. Folks, the simple fact is, even though we are good-natured enough to turn the other cheek before you provoke us, once you do provoke us, woe to the enemy that finally does. Folks, I submit to you that the time for turning the other cheek has come to an end. It is time to stand with one another as true Southerners and face the enemy once and for all and find true Southern Redemption.

From 1860 through 1865, the north’s intention was to treat the noble South just as they did the American Indians, and every other group of people that they encountered on their way to their self-proclaimed manifest destiny - to rage from sea to shining sea, and to create one big Yankee empire. They treated the noble South no different than any other group that they encountered. That is, they treated us just as another sideshow in their grotesque and abominable atheism; and it continues today. Folks, I am looking around the room, these are harsh words, but I hope that you are listening to what I am saying. Consider these atrocities with me if you would. Sherman's march to the sea through Georgia and the part of the re-construction that took place all across the South right after 1865. It was Sherman himself who promised that he would make Georgia howl; and make Georgia howl he did, by raping, pillaging, plundering defenseless non-combatants. No army left to protect them, a path of reckless destruction through the State of Georgia. The same man, Union leader Sherman, declared that the only way to eradicate the problem of states rights that the South brought into the Union was to exterminate every Southern man. And, if Sherman had his way, this would have been exactly what we would have had. Every Southern man would have been annihilated. We must not for one moment let anyone speak well of Sherman in our presence. We must not for one moment allow our school children to come home and tell us "The teacher said 'Sherman wasn't such a bad guy after all.’” We must tell our kids that, if Sherman had his way, not a single man today would be able to look back and say that he had a Confederate forefather who came through the initial years of re-construction. If Sherman would have had his way they all would have been murdered. I would not be here to speak to you today. Y'all would not be here to listen. Think about the campaign in Atlanta. The Confederate army pulled out of the city of Atlanta and, without any proclamation at all, Sherman's men started to terrorize and bombard an unprotected city without notice. After the Yankee army moved into the city of Atlanta, we are told that one-quarter of the city, 3000 - 5000 homes, was torched. This was when there was no Confederate army left to fight in the city of Atlanta. Private property was recklessly destroyed, and peoples homes were burned to the ground.

In the city of Macon, as the Yankees continued their march to the sea, the city of Macon was attacked; bombarded by artillery with no warning for civilians or non-combatants to get out before the shelling began. And, after they burned the city of Macon halfway to the ground, it was reported by their own Yankee scribes that the soldiers sang the Battle Hymn of the Republic more rancorously than every before. That's the enemy that marched through Georgia. This enemy was not good, nor did they care about principles. No, they cared nothing about the Southern people or the damage that they inflicted. They are not to be lifted up on a pedestal. Our school children must not be taught to admire and honor these aggressive invaders. The Yankees held so much "esteem for God" that, in our own town of McDonough, they dragged one Christian man around the square and out the city for a mile because he refused to take his hat off to the Yankee flag as it "processed" by. Then, the Yankees proceeded down to the First Baptist Church in McDonough; and, just as they did with many Baptists, Presbyterian and other churches, they ripped out all the pews that were in the First Baptist Church, and stabled their animals in there with all the things that you know go on in stables. That's in the house of God. They went outside the church, where they disinterred many of the good Southern people that were buried there and dumped their own Union soldiers’ bodies in there (who had been killed, or had died from disease and sickness). They broke down the head stone from every Southerner that was buried in the cemetery-including one that had fought to defend their liberties years before that.

These were people that held no principles similar to the values that the South had. These were unethical people. These were God-less people with a totally different culture and state of mind than the people of the South, who just wanted to be left alone.

We hear about Beast Butler who in the city of New Orleans had business men executed just because they continued to fly the Confederate flag in front of their business. We also know that Beast Butler passed a ruling that any woman who refused to speak kindly to a Yankee soldier when spoken to on the street was to immediately be considered a woman of the street and to be handled any way appropriate for such a woman. Now, folks, he is talking about the good Southern women of New Orleans and any other Southern town that encountered the Yankee army that came through. These were not Christian invaders, folks. These were the same men who forced slave men in the front line of the Yankee army for cannon fodder. They were the same Yankee soldiers that quartered themselves among the blacks, debouching the slave women day in and day out until they moved on.

These were a God-less, immoral people that ravaged our Southland. These were the same men that raped your mothers and grandmothers when they were not yet 18 years of age. Harsh words, I am sorry, but somebody needs to stand up and tell the truth. We need not forget how awful the enemy is. What about the years of the beginning of reconstruction that followed 1865? Were they any better? No. The enemy, before the war was over, rampaged and ravaged all the food that was needed for the Union troops without any regard to the private citizens; they killed every animal they didn't need and burned every bushel of grain that was unused by their armies. As a result, your grandparents and mine didn't have a bite to eat when the Union army was finished with the war, and now was ready for reconstruction to begin. Many of our forefathers and foremothers starved over the next few years because they simply never recovered from the devastating war. The enemy, during the beginning years of reconstruction, stole and burned literally millions of dollars worth of personal property in the most beautiful, peaceful, picturesque region of America. They destroyed every factory in the South to devastate our economy. They burned or destroyed every publishing house in the South that they could find. Ever wonder why no Southern history books were published immediately after the war and why today the government school textbooks are printed in New England and the west coast?

The enemy banned every Southerner from voting in their own State governments through acts passed under marshal law. This was totally unconstitutional and in violation of the Constitutional principles, these bills attained. Supposed Americans were banned by principles that were alien to the Constitution by people that said they were upholding the Constitution. They forced Southerners to take an oath of allegiance to an indivisible Yankee empire before they could regain their voting rights in their own states. They barred our most educated, most wealthy and respected leaders in our communities from holding office, so that only the riffraff and those that willingly took the oath of allegiance right away were able to hold office - the carpetbaggers and the scalawags. They forced the people of Georgia to accept a new State Constitution, which was illegally proposed and illegally ratified by a puppet legislature. They forced every Southern State to help ratify the 13th, 14th and 15th amendment to the US Constitution because they couldn't get enough of Northern States to ratify those amendments. What's even funnier about the whole thing is that we didn't even have a legal right to ratify because we weren't even states at the time. They wanted to have their cake and eat it to. They waged war against our Southern States [they said] because they (the states) had no legal right to secede and that we never actually left the Union. According to them, we were still states in the Union, but we were rebellious states. And yet when the war was over in 1865 they said, 'that’s all good and well, but since you left the Union and if you want to be readmitted here is what you'll do'. They wanted to have their cake and eat it to. They forced every Southern State to adopt the Yankee model of government education, and isn't it wonderful? They forced every Southern State to accept the beginnings of a Welfare System-beginning with the Freeman's Bureau and continuing from there. By the way, the Freeman's Bureau did nothing more then transfer ownership of the slaves of the South from Southern Agrarians to the Federal Government. Most of them remain slaves to that new master ‘til this very day.

During the initial reconstruction, they disarmed every white Southern man and empowered the newly created Union League to ravage and run rampant through every Southern town, lynching, raping and stealing - and this was after the war. Folks, that's reconstruction in the South. Why is it that some of us refuse to let it die? Because that was my grandfather and his family - what about your grandfather and his family? And why is the South the poorest region of the continent today - at least in the United States? I think you know the answer to that. It's part of this "equal union" that we are members of. So, remember these things about the war and about reconstruction the next time that you begin to praise Lincoln for being such a great man. Folks, as sad as it is to say this, I heard some of our own people say: 'Well you know at least he kept us in the Union'. Remember these things the next time someone else speaks good of Lincoln and you just keep your mouth quiet and don't speak up. Remember these things the next time that you begin to sing the Battle Hymn of the Republic in your church. Maybe you need to explain to someone why we don't sing that; why good Southern Christians don't sing this abominable song. Remember these things the next time that you begin to robotically speak a loyalty oath to the "indivisible" Union.

     The North said they wanted true reconciliation. But if the North intended true reconciliation - why has there been continued reconstruction?

What has bankrupt more small businesses and family farms in Georgia than the evil vices of waste, excess, and idleness? Well, I'll tell you what has - the Yankee mega-corporations that like to do business in Georgia. What has robbed more Georgians of the innocence of their childhood than domestic violence and physical abuse? The answer is Yankee worldliness and the immorality of Hollywood. What has enslaved the lives of more Georgians through forced social arrangements than the supposedly pernicious institution of Southern slavery ever did? I'll tell you what has - the Civil Rights Act of 1964, passed by a Yankee, self-righteous San Hedron. What has destroyed the ability of more Georgians to think rationally for themselves than cocaine, LSD, and marijuana combined has done? I'll tell you what - that wonderful Yankee educational system. I ask you, who has used legalized plunder to daily steal more from Georgians than Al Capone extorted during his entire career? The unconstitutional Yankee IRS, that's who. What has corrupted the souls of more Georgians than all the identified cults in America today? Yankee materialism has. What has indoctrinated more Georgia children with the jungle culture than all the tribal leaders of Africa did in 1860? I'll tell you what - the Yankee melting pot that they created of immorality and cultural relativism, from New York, Hollywood and Washington D.C. And let me just say this: folks, if you haven't opened your eyes yet, look around, we're losing too many of our children through this jungle culture on a daily basis. I hope you come to accept that truth. That's why we don't have the convenience of time like the Yankees had for the last hundred years. What has devastated more of Georgia's ecology than Hurricane Hugo and every other natural disaster of the 20th century? I'll tell you what the answer is - irresponsible Yankee capitalism and Yankee socialism. What has claimed the lives of more sons and daughters of Georgia than AIDS, Cancer and Heart Disease combined? It is the US entanglement in needles imperial wars. You see, the enemy loves to get us entangled in foreign wars and, using the best and brightest Southern men, go out and fight the wars of the empire because they know that the boys from the South have greater courage and sense of duty than men anywhere else in the country. Who has killed more innocent children of Georgia than all the numbers who died together in the cargo holes of those Yankee slave-trader ships? I'll tell you who - the abortionists' apologist of the Supreme Court of the Yankee Empire. Let me ask you: What Southern State do you know would have abortion on demand if it were truly left to the individual states?

Why do our enemies really oppose our flags and our symbols? Folks, those that oppose our flags and our other symbols do not oppose them because they really believe that you and I either support racism or a return to slavery in 2002. The enemy does not think for one moment that you and I love that flag dearly because we want to return to slavery on 2002. No! So why do they fight that flag? The real reasons they hate and want to destroy our flags and our other symbols is because they want to wipe out our identity, our uniqueness from the face of the earth; and because they despise the real things for which this flag stands. It doesn't stand for racism; it doesn't stand for slavery; but is does stand for some real eternal things that they despise and detest because of their laziness, lack of self-discipline, and their unwillingness to submit to authority. They attack our symbols because their young people despise the values that our young people embrace. What are those noble traits and values that our young people imitate? One of them is saying 'Yes, sir' and 'No, sir'; 'Yes, Ma'am' and 'No, Ma'am'. They despise our young people because of their love for this flag. They despise our young people because they are taught to have respect for authority. They despise our young people because they are taught obedience and participation in family, church and the community. They despise our young peoples love for their heritage and their symbols. While the enemy’s children are busy despising our young people for honoring their noble heritage, the adults are busy despising our adults. Folks, I'm going to tell you why they despise you having a flag on your own toolbox; on the bumper of your car; or on your own desk at work. They despise the things that you know your Confederate flag represents. It represents truth, it represents "Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life," not a way like pluralism teaches in 2003. They despise the St. Andrews Cross because like your ancestors before you, you cling to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and you just wont give those things up. They despise your for being so audacious as to believe that you have the right to pass your Southern heritage on to your children. That is why they attack the flag. That is why appeasement for the last 40 years hasn't brought reconciliation across Dixie. Bringing down the flag in South Carolina didn't bring appeasement or reconciliation. This is why changing the Georgia Flag a year ago hasn't brought reconciliation for the people of Georgia. And this is why forty more years of appeasement wont bring reconciliation to the people of Dixie. We need a true Southern Redemption across Dixie. I want to ask you 'How far do you think this Reconstruction will go?' There is no end to it in sight. They've not reconstructed us to the cookie-cutter-molded image of the Yankee Empire that they want everyone in this room to be. How much further will this reconstruction go? Well, I am telling you, if the black racists have their way it wont stop until you and I make slavery reparations to every black person on this continent. And let me tell you this, you can bet your bottom dollar that the united states government wont be paying slavery reparations. If anything, they will be forcing the Southern States to pay slavery reparations. And folks, before you say 'Ah, it's not a big deal,' let me just remind you that you and I made it double easy for them to come after us. We have done the hard work of proving our ancestral link to the Confederacy; so don't think that you and I will be left out when they come for slavery reparations. How far will reconstruction go? Well, the continued policy of open immigration will continue until it has totally diminished our voting power and forced us into a minority status in our own Southern States. Reconstruction will continue with the encouragement of feminism and homosexuality, until it dilutes our Southern States so we are nothing but a bunch of wish-washy cowards like the rest of the Yankee empire. This reconstruction is going to continue with the increase of Yankee materialism to bring some more material comfort and some indifference to the real dangers of liberty that are posed to our people today. Too many Southern people will sit idly back and let the federal and state governments grab one liberty after another in the name of security and comfort. How long will reconstructions continue? It will continue with Aids; forced immunizations upon our people to weaken them and make them more susceptible to every natural and man-made epidemic that comes along. Folks, let me just tell you that Aids and forced immunizations and whatever else is down the road is nothing short of an attack upon our very existence as a people and it should be regarded as such. I like to see king Roy's family to be the first to stand in line for their smallpox inoculation that he wants to make mandatory. And for them to be safe lets give them a double dose. And then we'll line up every one of the state legislatures that was involved with this flag change and let them be inoculated next. Let's face it - king Roy, the Feds, all their charlatans and even most of our local officials in our own counties are so politically correct that they would not hesitate for a moment at the very drop of a hat to create more terrorist incidents so they can cease more of our liberties. Yes, I said created terrorist incidents. They would not hesitate to begin to round up all your federal registered firearms. They would not hesitate to implement Marshall law and against our own citizens in order to suspend what little bit of the Constitution still exists. -------- It is getting quiet in here. ---------- You say 'Brother Ray, I thought you were going to talk about 1860 - 1861 - 1865.' --------- They would not hesitate to send blue dressed UN-troops at a moments notice on a "peace keeping mission" to the streets of Dixie either, if they decided they needed to do so. Just like they did in so many other places; Bosnia, Somalia, etc., etc. Let's be honest, if we weren’t' still under reconstruction things would be different here in the South. We are not a truly free equal part of this Union. If we were a free and equal part of this Union, number one, there would be no abortion on demand in any Southern State; number two, there would be capital punishment in every Southern State; number three, there would be no graduated income tax toward communism in any Southern State; number four, there would be freedom of association in every Southern State; number five, there would be no more asking for permission from the federal government when we redraw our district lines in any Southern State; and last of all, we would have a right to determine which values and version of history would be taught in our schools and how they would be run in every one of the Southern States. None of these things are true today, folks. We are still being reconstructed. We are not free. I hope that we have not amused ourselves into thinking that we are. We must begin to encourage all Southerners to draw a line. I am not just talking about the good Southerners that are members of the SCV, the MOSB, the UDC, and the LS. I mean Southerners everywhere. And I said this before, time and time again: I don't even care where Southerners draw the line; let them draw their own line in the sand. Because you can mark it down if we can get them to draw a line somewhere in the sand it is just a matter of time before the enemy is going to cross their line. We must arouse Southern people out of their indifference and get them to draw that line somewhere in the sand of what they will no longer tolerate before they are willing to do something. Then we will find them on the same side of the line that we stand today. See, we have become so brainwashed by a hundred years of the victor's propaganda, that we've come to not only accept his answer such as "Lincoln really did us a favor by preserving the Union," we actually have begun to repudiate the principles of our forefathers by saying crazy things such as 'secession wasn’t' really legal, and even if it was legal then it isn't legal now.' And we've done these things so we can gain acceptance by the enemy. Admit, it, that's the truth. We care more about what some Yankee professor in Massachusetts’s thinks than what the rest of our Southern neighbors think. At least to many Southerners think this way. You know, this thing of wanting to be accepted by the enemy, by the occupying nation, is a very, very strange thing. Much like a mental illness. We're told that there are certain circumstances in certain situations that happen very rarely were a victim of a violent crime such as kidnapping or some other violent crime actually become brainwashed to the point that they want to please the victimizer. Folks, the South has fallen for that. We are a mentally ill country. We care more about pleasing and honoring Washington D.C. and the Yankee empire and what they think about us than we care about standing up and honoring men like Alexander Stephens. We are a mentally ill people. We shouldn't care what the aggressor thinks; yes we are still under occupation. Those other things I mentioned just a few moments ago are true. You can accept them or not. But if you accept them how can you say that we are more free today than we were in 1865? I am tired of hearing our own speakers get up and talk about our Confederate forefathers fighting for what they thought was right. Sounds harmless enough, doesn't it? But folks, that makes me sick to my stomach. I am not honoring my Confederate forefathers because they went out and fought for what they thought was right. I am here today to honor my Confederate forefathers and Alexander Stephens because they fought for what they knew was right and for what was and is right. Truth is eternal. And I might not get invited to any more camps to speak; yet it is time to get of the fence. If our Confederate forefathers were right, and they were, then lets start acting like it in 2002. It is time to start taking a stand. I don’t' mean just having meetings, eating and fellowshipping together and talking about the good old days. We must start embracing those principles that our Confederate ancestors embraced. I'll tell you right now; in my mind it is blasphemy to honor a man-made, artificial union more than we honor eternal Godly principles. What does all this mean? I know we must begin working to reclaim our local and state governments with real Southerners. I know that I have said the pledge to the Yankee flag of occupation for the last time. This indivisible empire is a lie and a contradiction of principles. It is nothing more than a loyalty oath devised by a socialist named Frances Belamy to brainwash good little Southern children so they become the passive adults that we have today. And may I say that it has worked well. I know that I have a lot of good friends in this room that still say that pledge and they just leave out the word indivisible or maybe change it to divisible. But I got to tell you that there is another principle in the Bible that says 'Abstain from all appearance of evil.' I came to this decision about a year and a half ago. Someone asked me; in fact several people asked me 'Aren't you afraid that you wont be asked to speak anymore if you stop saying the pledge to the United States Flag?' I tell them first of all that I still pledge to my American flag, the St. Andrews Cross, just not their American Flag, the Stars and Stripes. And since that time I've had no shortage of people inviting me to come and speak. I will continue to speak the truth and say what God would have me say and the calendar is already beginning to fill up for this year. If it would try up today that would be ok as well. I continue to do what is right. I do know that we must make every attempt to correct the problems that exist in our midst. We should never ever give up as a people our God-given and constitutional acknowledged rights of self-determination. I hope that we will never have to take up arms; I also know that the enemy should know that the first day that the lackeys allow soldiers in our Southern states wearing U.N. blue to patrol any street in Dixie on a "peace keeping mission" they will find out that we can shoot. Folks, I know, that some of the things that I am saying today probably don't go along with the Patriot Act of 2002. You know what? We have a responsibility before God and our fellow man that is greater than any government. We need a true Southern Redemption. If there is going to be a true Southern Redemption there is going to have to be a spiritual revival in the South. Folks you are here and if you are uncomfortable talking about the Lord you are probably in the best place that you can be today. Because our compatriots around you know that there is no greater decision that you can make for yourself, your family, for Dixie today, than to accept Christ as our Lord and Savior. He must be first and foremost in your life and your family's life. For without Christ everything that we accomplish in the Southern movement will last at best for one generation. We must begin to save our children. If you cannot home school, put them in private school. Do whatever you can to get them out of the enemies hands. We must begin to register all these good Southerners to vote. We must begin to haul all of the scalawags and carpetbaggers out of office. We must begin to run our own folks. I don't mind running on a republican ticket. We use the enemy train as far as it will take us and then lets jump off. That does not hurt my feelings any. We need to begin doing business with other loyal Southerners, whenever possible. We must begin to be good neighbors to our fellow Southerners. Building a sense of community and not just among the membership of our organizations, but also among all Southerners out there. And you know what, one of the amazing thing is that we don't need a secret handshake to identify ourselves to each other. You can always pick a Southerner out of a group of Yankee transplants. All you have to do is look at the smile on his face, a good handshake and a good greeting along with a long Southern draw. No secret handshakes are needed. We must begin to once more view Dixie as an occupied country with a ruthless oppressor. I see a lot of Southerners fly the Yankee flag in their yards and in front of their businesses. Most Southerners think that they are being patriotic and they are doing it for the right reasons. However, they have a lack of understanding. Our forefathers fought so we could have a Southern Redemption. It is time that we are fighting for a true and real Southern Redemption. Many of our compatriots tell us, that the Georgia flag adopted in 1956 was solely adopted for heritage reasons and that's great. But the enemy needs to know when it goes back up it is going back up as a Battle Flag. Alexander Stephens said 'I'd rather be defeated in a good cause than to be triumphant in a bad one.' I don't know what God's plan for the future is. I do know that He intends for all good Southern Christians to stand for what is right until we have no more breath left in our body. May God save the South!
