Southern Politically Correct Butt Kissers

Appeasement as a Strategy

2011-10-09T14:32:00.001-04:00

Appeasement – 1. the political strategy of pacifying a potential enemy in the hope of avoiding conflict—often by granting concessions. 2. an attempt to stop complaints or reduce difficulties by making concessions.

Concession – 1. an act or an example of conceding, yielding, or compromising in some way, often grudgingly or unwillingly.

Compromise – (n) 1. a settlement of a dispute in which two or more sides agree to accept less than they originally wanted. 2. something that somebody accepts because what was wanted is unattainable. (v) 1. to settle a dispute by agreeing to accept less than what was originally wanted.

Ronald Reagan used to tell the story of the man trying to drain a swamp who finds himself surrounded by hungry alligators. In panic, he starts throwing his fellow workers to the monsters to protect himself. Of course, the end result is still the same: he will be eaten! Reagan was illustrating the futility of appeasement which gains nothing for the user but a little time before the end.

Actually, many people confuse appeasement with compromise. This is not difficult to do, especially if one is inherently honest. However, the difference between the two concepts is that in a compromise, both sides accept what is agreed upon. On the other hand, when one side considers the agreement a step towards the desired result while the other believes it is the solution to the problem, “compromise” is in fact, an act of “appeasement” by the second side. For far too long, our side has believed that each “compromise” we have accepted regarding Southern symbols and heritage is the final answer to that particular heritage problem—only to find out that in a day, or a week, or a year, the other side is back demanding more and greater “compromise” on an issue that we, at least, had considered settled.

Now, the first time this sort of thing happens, no blame obtains to us. We were honest in our negotiations but our adversaries were not. However, the second—not to mention every time thereafter–that the same thing happens, we lose all right to call ourselves ill-used. We cannot blame “the other side” when we knew—or should have known—that the concept of “compromise” existed on our part alone while our adversaries were determined to continue to work towards total victory. Indeed, I am willing to state unequivocally, that some fifty years after the end of The Grand Bargain and the commencement of the second war on Southern heritage and culture, most defenders of the South have to be aware that “compromise” with our enemies is actually appeasement and that to continue down that particular road will end in our extermination. As this is the case, Southern apologists and leaders have no business engaging in such ill-considered “compromises.” Whatever they choose to call these arrangements, they represent concessions by us and thus they must be recognized as appeasement. To paraphrase Ronald Reagan yet again, if it looks like a duck, and it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, it’s a duck—even if you call it a pig.

Given this situation, how should we deal with our adversaries? Is there any hope in attempting valid compromise or are we dealing with an unrelenting, uncompromising, intractable mindset that will settle for nothing less than Southern cultural genocide? Sadly, the answer to the above questions is, “no,” there is no hope and “yes” we are dealing with a mindset that will accept nothing less than the total extermination of the culture, history and heritage of the South. Furthermore, no amount of manifest good will and conciliatory gestures on our part will change a damned thing. With that in mind, we must determine how to proceed. First and foremost I would say that all of the efforts to foster good will by many Southern “leaders” is seen not only by our own side but by our adversaries as—to use a vulgar phrase—“kissing butt.” However sincere Southern leaders may be in attempting to re-establish the previous attitude towards the South that existed under The Grand Bargain, the sad fact is that the nation has passed beyond actual compromise and adopted a Marxist revisionist version of “history” that requires nothing less than a complete condemnation of all things Southern and that the manifestations of a unique People must be consigned to oblivion or, in the alternative, remembered only with contempt and disgust. If we do not recognize this existing state of affairs, we are not only woefully naïve, but we continue to labor towards our own extermination.

Having accepted the matter as it stands, what then is left for us to do? First, we must not “concede” or “compromise” without understanding that such “solutions” are nothing but appeasement by our side, the only benefit of which—at least to us—is that it creates a momentary lull in the struggle. Secondly, we must make much better use of that lull to forestall total defeat even if we cannot achieve total victory. We must also understand that all such “agreements” are incremental victories for our adversaries. Most important, we must be prepared to use the time to regroup and go on the offensive rather than congratulating ourselves that we have at least forestalled total defeat—for a little while anyway. At the very least we must understand that the other side will never compromise on its stated goal of cultural genocide while there is any hope of victory. Therefore we must develop strategies to use when the enemy’s assault is momentarily halted by these bogus “compromises” because we know from experience that they are formulating their next plan of attack—and the whole thing starts again with each cycle leaving us a little more isolated and impotent.

The Southern heritage movement cannot continue to be caught flat-footed by these constant assaults. We have to push back. Only in that way is there any hope of having at least some control over the outcome of the struggle. Right now, we do nothing but react. We must become far more proactive and we will never do that while many of our leaders work so tirelessly to “get along” with our adversaries. Remember, it is easy to “get along” with the enemies of the South. All we have to do is surrender—and die.

SCV caves-in to demands on Confederate Powder Works??

UP-DATE,10/11/11:
The next Alexander camp meeting will discuss events surrounding the removal of the Confederate battle flag from the Confederate Powder Works Chimney... Think maybe a little flack is bouncing off them?

Story one

Confederate Flag To Be Removed From Powder Works. The Sons of Confederate Veterans and the Augusta Canal came to an agreement (SCV caved in) that a plaque will be installed on or around the chimney, using various flags that were used during the Confederacy. There is no definite timetable for the flag's removal, but the Canal Authority says it will be a couple of days.

To appease the Georgia Historical Society and the local Salvation Army, they demand the historically correct battle flag be removed because of a flimsy “historical accuracy???” excuse and a feigned sudden concern for the chimney after receiving a state tourism award for improvements to the Augusta Canal National Heritage Area.

Story two

Regarding the story “Confederate Powder works flag to be replaced with more historically accurate one” (Sept. 16): The Augusta Canal Authority is mistaken. The Confederate Battle Flag is historically accurate.

In August 1864, all Confederate forces in Augusta, including those under Col. G.W. Rains’ authority, were assigned to the Army of Tennessee under Gen. John B. Hood. The Army of Tennessee battle flag was ordered by Gen. Joseph Johnston and issued to units beginning in January 1864. The rectangular design incorporated 13 white stars on a blue St. Andrew’s cross on a red field. Augusta’s Commanding Gen. A.R. Wright sent 1,300 troops, including companies from the Powderworks, to Macon under the Army of Tennessee battle flag.

UDC Kissing butt???

UP-DATE 9/26/11
Reidsville UDC offers hope for the future From SNN

(The Reidsville UDC [United Daughters of the Confederacy] is thinking and responding at a level that is morally superior to that of its State leaders whether or they will this heritage battle. They are to be highly commended for their intelligence in this current situation, AND beyond that they are to be commended for the integrity and strength of their moral fiber and character that has given them the dignity to stand for that which is right when their State NC UDC failed the test of this heritage challenge.)

Daughter's of the Confederacy (UDC) not interested in replacing the Confederate Statue "Reidsville. NC."

The city determined that statue was owned by the United Daughter's of the Confederacy (UDC). That group told the city it had decided not to return the statue to its former location.

A letter to the city from Aileen Ezell, the President of the North Carolina UDC stated: "While we much prefer the monument to remain in the location it has occupied for the past 100 years, we do not wish to be a factor in any unpleasantness that may occur if the statue is allowed to remain in its present location."... (What about the unpleasantness done to Southron and their heroes!?)

This is typical of most so-called Southern Groups (UDC, SCV, etc) of late.... Kissing butts of the pc crowd!!

HERE

The marble statue was knocked off its pedestal and distoryed on West Morehead Street and North Scales Street on May 23 after a van missed a traffic circle and crashed right into it. The driver of the van was black.

The complete monument has now been removed by the city.
