Just My Opinion

We are once again or should I say still in the middle of yet another battle defending our Noble Forefathers and or justifying the reasons of the War for Southern Independence aka Civil War. We are again debating amongst ourselves if secession is legal or if it is now a proper time to secede and the question of were our Forefathers right to do it when they did. All of this is so frustrating and it’s easier to walk away and avoid the fight rather than stand up and hear the usual lies once again.

I myself made the statement in my forum “Never argue with an idiot” I still believe this but there is more to the statement than it seems. Never back down when our Southern Heritage and Confederate Forefathers are being disgraced. Stand up as you always have and defend them with facts in the Polite Southern manner you were blessed with. Answer “those people” in a normal voice when they shout lies toward you at the top of their lungs and give them a few more facts to think about. Never lower yourself to their level because believe it or not people actually take in what is being said in a normal polite voice more so than statements that are being shouted. “The louder you talk the less I hear” After you have given all of your facts to discredit the lies being spread usually the person has silenced themselves and disappeared. If they are still shouting their lies at this point is when you realize you are talking with an idiot and it is time to move on. You have given answers to the contrary against all of their lies and they are still shouting. Your words were actually heard by people around and they are now wondering why they were listening to this idiot that is yelling. Your time will now be better used talking with someone else about our Southern Heritage than wasting your time on the one screaming.

Stand up for yourself and our Confederate Forefathers. The uneducated outbursts we all have heard are coming from people who need educated and we can’t force them to get that History lesson that will prove them wrong. Give them the opportunity to hear the Truth but if it is gong to be a screaming match “Never argue with an idiot”. Use your time and talents where they will be seen and heard. Don’t let the idiots bring us down to their level and make us look like something we are not. Too many of our Nobel Forefathers stood up for the cause of the Confederacy for it to have been wrong, Make them proud of us today by standing up for them and defend them with the honest and polite Confederate minded traits they passed down to you. As a good friend pointed out to me “Stand proud and be heard. Our ancestors are still watching”

Look back at some of these blogs, forums, or feedback posts to press and TV, and you will see there are actually more people on the side of the Truth as we were taught than there are idiots trying to disgrace our Southern Heritage. We are blessed to have a larger number of people standing up for our Confederate Forefathers than we realize. I feel blessed to be included with all of you and Thank you all for your efforts.
