You people need to seek Jesus and stop with the hatred. You will all go to hell! God is still in control and there is nothing that man can do about it. The last shall be first and the first shall be last. So just like white people have told other races for years, stop complaining! Next I guess you will want affirmative action. That’s what happens when you steal from other cultures.

Earl- your arrogance tarnishes what is otherwise a pretty good blog. If you’re so smart, why aren’t people lined up at your door to hire you? Bet that would solve your car problem.

Never mind that the song is highlighting the racism of DEMOCRATS like Sharpton. But no one should let the facts interfere with their moral outrage.

General Longstreet,
My comments were meant to be facetious, but since you seem to be in such a serious frame of mind, may I suggest that you take a closer look at the life of James Longstreet. No one would dispute his military ability. However, after the war, too much of his life smacks of opportunism. He becomes a Republican and a Scalawag, but to what end? He gained a succession of government patronage jobs from U.S. Marshall to railroad commissioner, to U.S ambassador. All obviously enriched him, but how did they promote the causes of Radical Reconstruction that you so eloquently expound upon? His only foray into the political arena was to attempt to promote within the Republican party a more moderate faction, composed of Southern whites , who could counter the influence of the Radical Republicans(those who advocated drastic change in the Southern landscape.) This would result in the traditional Southern ruling class regaining power and control the newly enfranchised black voters.(which in the end is exactly what happened)
Your last paragraph is nonsensical, jumping as you do from Longstreet to Ben Tillman. But if you’re going to criticize monuments on the State House grounds–don’t stop with Tillman. Delve also into the racial views and relations of Strom Thurmond, Wade Hampton, Jimmy Byrnes, George Washington, and J. Marion Sims, all of whom have monuments as well.
Finally, if you’re going to make outrageous accusations, at least spell them right. It’s Jim Crow, not Crowe. Don’t confuse him with Russell.

Mr. Gillon,

Sir, with respect, it was Mr. Silence the Noise who incorrectly referred to the besmirched cavalier as “Stewart.” I knew and served with Stuart and I don’t need “Google” or any other “Search Engine” to tell me that Jeb is actually an acronym for his Christian names. Fool.

And as for your smears regarding my post-Cause life: yes, I became a Republican and, for that matter, a scalawag. That, of course, implies — correctly, sir — that I supported Reconstruction, and that I supported changes that are doubtless an anathema to you, sir, things like abolishing slavery, protecting the legal status of the freed slaves, breaking the back of secret vigilante groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, passing amendments (the 13th, 14th, and 15th) to provide Freedman with equal rights under the law and outlawing unemployed blacks from being arrested and charged with vagrancy.

You stand against those changes, Mr. Gillon, and firmly with cretin such as Ben Tillman, may the Good Lord condemn his soul to Hell for all eternity. It shames me as a native-born South Carolinian that a grotesque monument to the father of Jim Crowe bestrides the northern lawn of our state capitol. Is that your Tradition, sir? Is that your Cause? I, for one, will have none of it. Good day, sir.

I’ll agree with your characterization of the average GOP campaign operative. Many of them are kids who got a political science degree and never held a real job in their entire life.

There is no small irony that those who claim to be advocating a “pro-business” agenda act in such a petty manner that few people in the business world would want to hire such Machiavellian creeps, much less keep them on the payroll.

In fact, it kind of reminds me of the current Governor and his brat packers, people for whom ideas can exist in a vacuum and the ends justify the means.

But maybe they’d find someone like me, who has been with my current private-sector employer for seven years, boring and “in a rut”?
