86. Paladin, to some the Civil War was never over
Wed Apr 30, 2014, 01:16 PM
Apr 2014

All of these things we see are echoes of the Confederacy.
They have never been right with their defeat in the 1860s.
And ever since they seek to subvert or damage the United States Government in any way they can.
Internally and externally.

They hate the Union & with the very symbol of why the Civil War was fought sitting at the head of office in Obama, they are emboldened more than ever before to strike out against the Union.
Against the Unity. Against the United.

This is what happens when you don't finish the job.
The United States never finished cleaning up this Civil War mess & now the festering have developed molds & plagues that will continue to grow & evolve.
They never finished off those traitors in the 1800s so they & their descendants built themselves up in the 1900s & 2000s until we have what we see here.

They have ALWAYS been ready to restart that war.
When Civil Rights advancements started moving forward in the 1940s & 1950s, you saw these Confederate descendants break from the New Deal Coalition & then put up the Confederate Battle Flag in their state flags as protests.
You saw what they did in the 1960s before & after the Civil Rights Act & Voting Rights Act was put into place.

They're still fighting that war.
The Republican Party which was once the antagonists of the Confederates gave them the political structure to develop their plans.
When the Democrats atoned for their evil past by doing right by the Blacks, the Republicans chose to cling to power by absorbing this zombie coalition into their body.
The Confederates really don't care about the Republican Party or ANY party for that matter.
They use the party to damage the Union & all the advancements in this society since the downfall of the Southern Plantation system.
They're still in rebellion.

Luckily, these guys are just as stupid as those immoral slaveowners of the past.
There's just a lot of them, that's all. Takes time to see them go extinct.
Confederacies don't work. America has tried it twice & it failed both times.
There's gotta be a central command. An overpowering structure that protects against fiefdoms.
That's why Unions beat Confederacies each & every time.

A unified force will always beat a divided force.
These toy soldiers are already exampling how you can't have too many roosters in a henhouse.
The government backed off because they knew the infighting was inevitable.
They'll move in once these guys destroy themselves.
