... there has never been a group of people more committed to idea of Freedom than our long-departed men in gray and their hoop-skirted Scarlett O'Haras back at Tara.
When it comes to Freedom, these people were practically hoarders. They loved Freedom so much that they were willing to lay down their lives -- or better yet, the lives of their easily-deluded slave-less white neighbors -- so that they could keep Freedom all to their lily-white selves.
Today, there are various organizations -- Sons of the Confederacy, Daughters of the Confederacy, Third Cousins Once Removed of the Confederacy, etc. -- which proudly claim the lineage of those ancient Rebels. Yet the true heirs to the Confederacy are all among us who still embrace the Confederate conviction that there is a finite supply of Freedom.
That means we cannot go around dispensing Freedom, willy-nilly, to dubious groups such as blacks, gays, non-Christians, socialists, climate scientists and NASCAR-haters ...
