3. It is HIGH TIME that we refer to Republicans as Neo-Confederates - because they are.

Every move they make, every act they commit, from their White privilege delusions to States rights, they are no different than the Confederates of the past. They have used our elections and the Republican Party, infiltrated the Republican Party, and are dismantling it from the inside out as they slowly turn it into the Neo-Confederate Party.

Unless and until we recognize that the Republican Party is being destroyed and a Neo-Confederate Party is taking its place, we'll always be a day late and a dollar short with these pre-Civil War fanatics.

It's time to call a spade a spade.
