Update: Connie is blocking me from linking to her blog. Here's the link to "Useless Information." http://one80dts.blogspot.com/2012/06/useless-information.htmlIt appears the almighty advocate of "Southern Heritage," Connie Chastain, took it upon herself to right wrongs of modern history.

Note the title, as the below post elaborates on, is not entirely accurate. The title should say "Federal Judge Upholds City of Lexington's City Ordinance Banning Flags." Because the SCV is the main group taking the city to court and claiming free speech violations, the Confederate flag is thrust to the forefront. Excerpt from the Roanoke Times:

Recent events demonstrate that yes; Connie Chastain is afraid of Yankees. In particular this Yankee, Joey Andrews. Beneath that bloodcurdling exterior lies a war crime waiting to happen.

I've written about the Confederate Battle Flag before examining its dual meaning to many people. For some there is the vision of hate, and for others it is the symbol of pride.

This is a terrific letter from a Mr. Jourdon Anderson to his former master Colonel P.H. Anderson. The date of the letter places the events immediately after the Civil War and is in response to the Colonel's letter requesting Jourdon to come back and work on his land. Jourdon's reply letter is quite hilarious. Enjoy.

I'd like to thank Brooks D. Simpson for bringing to my attention that Hunter Wallace, a regular commentator at the SHPG, has sought to include me in his blog The Occidental Dissent. If you scroll down the page, you will find this short passage:

Joey Andrews, a cohort of mine and contributor to the Historic Struggle, brought this video to my attention. I have watched it several times and I find it truly fascinating.

This will be a co-lead lecture between myself and Brad Campbell. In the next couple of weeks I will be presenting pieces on here for review in order to fine tune the lecture. More soon to come.

Connie Chastain over at SHPG, or as Brooks Simpson calls it, "The gift that keeps on giving," has posed a new question. Take a look.
