Quietly, but with a slow and
steady voice, the Southern people are calling out for liberty.
Their eyes are opening up all across this land, Dixie’s land.
It began immediately following the close of the War for Southern
Independence and survives even unto today.
Jefferson
Davis knew that the very principles that they contended would, one day,
resurface and today they are bubbling up again. It began with the Confederate Veterans uniting to remember
fallen comrades and the glorious Confederacy.
Their children, sons and daughters, then took up the fight to
remember the past.
Recently,
heritage groups sprang up across the South to remember not only the War years,
but also the old South and her fate. Then
through much toil the Southern Party was born.
This small party is quickly becoming the voice of the people of Dixie.
It has even elected candidates to office and has run a candidate for the
office of Governor of one of the Southern states to lead under the banner of our
righteous cause.
Still,
there are those who do not understand our cause, our fight.
The Southern Party is not a political party designed just for white males
who cannot forget the past. No, it
is a Party hoping to include all Southerners who wish to regain their natural, as
well as their government given, liberties. No
one can truly deny that the government of the United States has ceased to
operate within the bounds of the Constitution of 1789.
At one time, the Democratic Party protected the South from the usurpation
of power. It failed.
For the last few decades, Southerners looked towards the Party of Lincoln
to help them preserve their rights and liberties, but that Party failed them.
Which is why Michael Andrew Grissom titled chapter 15 of his book “Can
the South Survive”, “Why the Republicans Can’t Save the South”.
Now,
the people of the Southern nation are searching for a new voice that will set
them free. What the Southern people
as a whole needs is a workable plan that protects this country for our
posterity. Not only are our
freedoms at stake, but our culture, and our very land.
The
federal government, with a policy of multiculturalism - the idea that every
culture needs to be separate- is actually creating a monoculture.
It is controlled by two Parties who are bent on destroying each other
only to become one party at the end of the war. This war is causing more harm
then good to the Southern public. They
have failed to protect Southern honor abroad, to protect the standards of the
Southern people, to uphold the Southern family and to create workable policies
to govern.
The
North is not crying out for freedom and the West is acting to preserve their
land and yet it is the South that wishes to protect her freedoms, her culture
and her land. Her people are
important to her and they must be protected and we can see the sad failing of
the United States government in this respect.
So, in an effort to save at least some part of what was once our Southern
Nation, to revive the Southern Dream, the South must secure to herself the
blessings of Liberty, and they must do it under the banner of the Southern
Party. It is the only Southern
political party in existence.
There
was once a political party in this land that stood for State’s Rights and the
rights of the workingman. This
party traced its roots back to Thomas Jefferson’s Democratic-Republicans, but
it now promotes liberal ideology. This
party denies God in government, denies a strict interpretation of the
Constitution and promotes a world government.
This party was once the proud defender of the values of the Old South,
now its leader claims to be a son of the New South.
This longstanding party once believed in local control, but now wants to
see a powerful United Nations, which stands in opposition of the Declaration of
Independence and the constitution of 1789.
The Democratic Party has become a party of liberals of the Puritan belief
of higher power-humanity- of course, bent on destroying the South at her very
core.
The
Southern Party now must uphold the banner of the workingman and protect his
interests. We will formulate
policies that protect Southern goods in foreign markets. We must not give away our children’s inheritance.
The Southern Party will develop ways to maintain our complete
independence from a world order without isolating ourselves.
The Democratic Party promotes environmental safeguards, but their plans
greatly hinder economic growth. Our
plan will give a workable solution for the environment so that the land God gave
us may be preserved for the future generations while not stopping economic
growth. Our Party will protect
farmers and families. Our Party
will once more raise the banner of Jefferson and Madison.
The
Republican Party, the conservative party that should represent Christian values,
has become nothing more then a right-wing Democratic coalition.
In “Can The South Survive?” Michael Grissom writes:
“The embodiment of that new Republicanism was Ronald Reagan.
His spunk
in dealing with the hippies at Berkeley, his tough talk about government being “the problem, not the solution,” and his
eternal belief
in cutting taxes as a way to spur the economy were what endeared him to
independent-minded Southerners. But,
what Southerners overlooked was the hard fact that he was not Southern.
Even today, with a
majority of Southerners imperfectly informed about
their own heritage, mention of the word
Reagan evokes starry-eyed idol worship
among those in the South who choose not to
remember that it was Ronald Reagan
who gave us the troublesome Martin Luther King
holiday, and that it was Ronald
Wilson Reagan who not only signed but pushed for extension
of the hated Voting
Rights Act when it came up for renewal during his first term.
He lobbied
Congress to extend the federal government’s control over
elections in the Deep South states
for another twenty-five years.
Like some coup-ridden banana republic, those Southern states
under its
provisions must endure the humiliation of federal poll-watchers who have the
same type of authority Republicans gave carpetbag regimes during
Reconstruction.”
With
the new term of “inclusion” breaking forth in the mouths of every Republican
leader, the values of the party is weakening to the point that it is difficult
to distinguish the good from the bad. As
a Christian, I believe that God came to save the entire world, but as that same
Christian, I believe that He did not bow to every viewpoint and adopt sin as His
platform. What the Republican Party
has done is to turn it’s back upon the South and Christian people everywhere
by wishing to include people from every agenda.
From pro-abortionists to pro-gay righters, The Party of Lincoln has
forgotten God and His values. Therefore
let the preachers preach, let those of us with the power of the pen write, let
those of us with a loud voice speak only with Divine words shout when necessary
with a mighty, bold, and unshaken voice that we demand the return of our
government, a government of people diligently protecting our rights for the
South.
The
Southern Party will maintain our heritage of God in the government.
It will be legal to pray at a high school football game and to hold
student led prayers in classrooms. Our
teachers will be allowed to teach creation alongside of evolution.
Our children will learn that George Washington was a man of diligent
prayer.
No
longer will the legacy of Christ and our founding fathers be denied to our
country because a political party refuses to stand for the truth.
The Southern Party understands the importance of truth in history and
will endeavor to preserve the correct history so that our children may know
fully where this country has been, the mistakes and the successes.
What
is our justification of that demand? What
are our reasons for wanting a government to operate justly and under the
Constitution? How would the
Southern government be different? The
people of the South need a plan, not just a political plan, but also a roadmap
that shall guide them to true Liberty. Not
just economics, nor politics, but a plan to resurrect the Southern leader and
the Southern devotion to our nation. It should be a plan that gives hope and promises a better
tomorrow without compromising the values of today and of our genesis.
The
plan, commissioned at the first national convention of the Southern Party, which
was held in Charleston, South Carolina, promises to deliver a dynamic hope for
the future, the first Confederacy failed in part due to the hotheaded rush into
secession. The end of our dream –
secession - must only be achieved after steps are taken to insure the South and
her interests.
The
south was once inferior to the North in population and in the economic
resources. This time, our homeland (19
southern States from Delaware to Arizona) holds over half of the population of
this country, 51 per cent of the military, and our economy is the strongest of
any part of the United States. Our
land is rich in industry as well as farming interests and of all things (which
the government will not tell you) oil and natural gas. The armed forces of the United States have built several
strong bases across the face of the South and have stocked them with arms and
with a great surface fleet. Though
we do not have centers of commerce such as Chicago and New York, we have
Atlanta, Houston, New Orleans, St. Louis and Richmond.
We
have the hard facts to plead for secession, we have the numbers to prove the
case, and we have the thirst for Liberty. What
we need now is a plan, a working roadmap that will lead our vehicle to Liberty.
We will then show the world that we will protect our culture, our
Liberty, our environment, and ourselves. Our
policies not only will reflect our conservative nature, but it will also show
that the South is a different creature than what is painted in our textbooks.
Some of these plans, may be earth shattering, some will be old and some
time tested. But all will be sought after as a means to Southern Liberty.
We seek men and women all across the South to help us put this plan into
action, not as a symbolic effort, but as a sure fire method of achieving
success.
Who
will help our nation, The Southern Nation, have the rebirth it has longed for,
for the last 140 years?
“All
the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that
were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee: they
that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in
him.” Obadiah 1:7
