FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
"NO VOTES FOR TURNCOATS"
The South Carolina legislature has voted to remove the Confederate battleflag from atop the Capitol dome in Columbia. To those in both chambers who supported the flag atop the dome, we applaud your patriotism. But to those in both chambers (and in both parties) who voted to take the Flag down, we promise to oppose your re-election bids with tooth and nail. The South Carolina League of the South will spread the word far and wide: "No votes for Turncoats."
We assert that the Confederate battleflag is a symbol of the conservative Christian culture of the South. That culture is diametrically opposed to the leftist culture that has destroyed the foundations of numerous countries (including the United States) in the 20th century. Our traditional Southern way of life honors the Lord Jesus Christ as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and that is why the humanistic left seeks the destruction of our symbols. But this campaign of destruction will not end there; the leftists will not be satisfied until they have transformed South Carolina and her sister States in the South into socialist, multicultural wastelands. For example, look closely at the agenda of The State and other chain-owned newspapers in South Carolina. These leftist propaganda organs hold a monopoly over the print medium within our State, and their biased and deceitful reporting on the flag and other issues is shamefully transparent. They will not rest until South Carolina's traditional culture is eradicated and our State joins the deracinated ranks of the new socialist-fascist order.
The Flag that is coming down in Columbia is more than a mere piece of cloth. Not only does it represent the blood sacrifice of our Christian Confederate ancestors but our future as well. Wherever that flag waves, there exists a commitment to the principle of States Rights and local self-government. The starry St Andrews Cross waves in opposition to the illicit and immoral concentration of power in Washington, DC, and that is the reason that the American Imperial Establishment (including the mainstream media) cannot abide its public display.
Decent South Carolinians will never consent to removal of their symbol from atop the Capitol dome. Yes, the Flag may come down, but we believe the Flag will become more visible than ever within our State. Our proud and patriotic citizens will see to that. Let the Flag fly everywhere as a reminder to our turncoat politicians that there will be a price to paid in the next election. Come November, the reckoning is at hand.
From the start of this fight, the South Carolina League of the South has refused to compromise and to provide cover for craven politicians who wish to appear as supporters of our Southern culture while giving in to those who wish to destroy our culture. The Flag must fly over the dome or nothing! And for those who lack the guts to take on the NAACP and the Chamber of Commerce, let them get out of the way and make room for those who understand what is at stake in this battle. Our intention is to prove that the ouster of former Governor David Beasley was no fluke. Instead, we intend to show that he was only the first political casualty in a war for control over our political and cultural institutions. By God's grace, the left shall not triumph in South Carolina. Yes, the Flag may come down from atop the dome, but that embattled banner will never be subdued as long as one South Carolinian refuses to forsake his culture for the sake of profit or expediency. Like Jefferson Davis, the people of South Carolina have been endowed with unconquerable hearts. No compromise, no surrender, and no votes for turncoats.
