The Glorious Confederate Flag

June 21, 2015

The removal of the confederate flag and the memorial of Southern leaders is part of the cultural revolution to demonize America’s greatest heroes and poison people’s beliefs about noble principals for which the South fought.  While honoring those brave men who died under the Stars and Bars, the Confederate Flag should fly free in the yards of good men still resisting the tyranny of our totalitarian government.

“Take Down a Symbol of Hatred,” rails The New York Times.

Contrary to what Statists want American to believe, the Confederate Fag is not a symbol of hate. But, it is an object of hate by every proud person that doesn’t understand why the South refused to submit to Yankee Marshal Law. The NY Times would have us believe it was a symbol of slavery, but the Stars and Bars did not fly over slave quarters; it flew over a battlefield. Furthermore, not one slave was brought to America by ship flying the Confederate Flag.

The Confederate Flag is a symbol that righteous principals are worth dying for; that we should stand for what is right even though we may suffer for it. For this reason, President Jefferson Davis never apologized for the principals for which the south fought. For, submission to tyranny is a greater evil than submitting to it.

The Confederate Flag is a symbol of resistance to tyranny. The War of Northern Aggression was started by totalitarian Abe Lincoln who used military muscle to subjugate the Sourth to Northern ambition. Refusing to voluntarily submit to oppression, the South exhausted itself in defense of liberty.

The Confederate Flag is a symbol of the cross of Jesus Christ–the hope of the world. It is called St. Andrew’s cross in honor of the early Christian who refused to say “Caesar is Lord.” In resistance State worship, St. Andrew was crucified on a cross. The confederates felt this an apt symbol of their resistance of the subjection of the total man to total government under Lincoln. President Davis said, “All we ask is to be let alone; that those who never held power over us shall not now attempt our subjugation by arms” (W. Jones: Christ in the Camp, p 43).

” . . . further research has indicated that this was no folk legend. In 1863, during the session in which the Confederate Congress was voting on the 2nd National Flag, William G. Swan of Tennessee’s second congressional district wished to substitute the following language:

“That the flag of the Confederate States shall be as follows:

A red field with a Saint Andrew’s cross of blue edged with white and emblazoned with stars.” (Confederate Flag History)

Swan, who before the secession had been mayor of Knoxville and attorney general of Tennessee, had adapted his proposal from the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia, but it was in fact identical to the flag proposed by William Porcher Miles in March 1861. Because he believed that the battle flag had been sanctified by the blood of Southern soldiers in their struggle for independence, Swan wished to adopt it for use by the nation now as a tribute to the valor of the Confederate fighting man. Further references to the link between the battle flag and the St. Andrew’s Cross are made by Confederate soldiers during the war.

The Confederate Flag is a symbol of freedom. The 13 stars represent the original 13 colonies that declared independence from great Britain and the oppressive actions by King George that sought to make Americans slaves to the British crown.

The Confederate Flag is a symbol of honor and courage. The red stands for courage, the bravery of the few and the weak against the many and the strong. The north had greater finances, greater man-power, greater industry, and greater man-power. Many of the Southern leaders knew that the South had not the resources of the proud north, but they knew resistance to tyranny was the right thing to do.

The Confederate Flag is a symbol of truth: The north having fallen into Unitarianmism had long abandoned Scripture as the Word of God; but, the South remained loyal to the principles of the Reformation and the Prostestant gospel. Consequently, the South was Lincoln’s  war on Christianity and Southern ethics.

Jefferson Davis got it right – the principles for which the South fought were not resolved and they would rise up again in another place and another time.

“Truth crushed to the earth is truth still and like a seed will rise again” – Jefferson Davis

The Confederate Flag is a symbol of loyalty to the original principles of the Constitution. It was Lincoln who broke the constitution, and the South who begged him to submit to the authority of the nation’s charter. But, Lincoln would have nothing to do with it. Violating the nation’s fundamental law, the South had no choice but to secede from the union and to form a government dedicated to the principles upon which it was founded.

The South was defeated, not because it was wrong, but because of the superior resources of the north.  John C. Calhoun says: a defeat on principle is not an overthrow, while a victory by compromise is a defeat.

The South took the high road on principle, and Lincoln took the low road in practice . . . and, the fruits are self-evident.

May the South Rise Again!
