"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "A student whose protected expression is stifled suffers an injury that cannot be undone." - U.S. 3rd Circuit Court "If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter." - George Washington "It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their

Three high schools within our Commonwealth have made the misguided decision to ban the Confederate flag. I encourage all members of the Pennsylvania Division, the SCV, the larger Southern heritage community and all lovers of the liberties and rights protected by the Constitution of the United States to contact these schools and encourage them to change their policy regarding our venerable symbols

It was customary up into the end of the 19th century for citizens and groups to design their own versions of the US flag. The "Betsy Ross" flag, for example, was never an official US flag any more than the "Bennington Flag" was, but both are some of the favorite designs of all time. The "Great Star" flags and a variety of "Federal Eagle" flags were popular in the early to mid 19th century and

Over the past year the SCV has seen the beginnings of a restoration movement deemed radical by those who failed to understand the original purpose of the organization. This movement, designed to re-ignite the fulfillment of the Charge by a modern generation of Confederate descendants, is an important process that we must see through to its successful complete implementation. It is important to

WelcomeGen John Bell Hood CSA At 11:10pm on May 30, 2005, Ginny (CSS Virginia) gave birth to a litter of just one little black lab, the son of Bo (Gen PGT Beauregard CSA). Both Ginny and Hood are doing well. I'd like to thank Sterl Price and Timmy Spicer for helping build and stain a very nice whelping box for Ginny. She took right to it. Here are a couple more pictures of Hood, Ginny and us

Pat Toomey and I at the Conservative Conference On Saturday 2/26/05, I attended the Conservative Conference which was help in Gettysburg, PA. The conference included many speakers such as Jessica Bayer and Anita Nardone from Pennsylvanians' for Human Life, David French the President of FIRE, Conservative Author Dan Flynn and featuring former Congressman Pat Toomey who is currently the

Today begins my campaign for Mayor of Port Matilda, Pennsylvania. I went to the Centre Country Bureau of Elections and picked up my Candidate’s Nomination Petition Packet. I am permitted to begin collecting signatures in about two weeks. This is the first step in the process, whereby I will challenge the current Mayor in the Republican primary. The outcome of the primary will likely not only

If a liberal were asked to cite that section of the Constitution which specifies the power under which a given proposed law can be made, Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 would very likely be the most cited passage. It is the ‘holy grail’ of liberalism and the source of every well intentioned (and not so well intentioned) abuse of federal jurisdiction. To those who think government exists to solve

I was born and raised near Philadelphia, without any knowledge of my Confederate ancestry. I did not discover my ancestry until four years after college. Yet, I was always drawn to the Southern Cause. I always believed that the South was right. I challenged the teachers on the issues because I took time to read more than what was spoon-fed. I protested that an exercise in our history class was

Have you ever been talking to someone and started to wonder if you are both talking about the same thing? As the months have gone by, I've started to wonder if we're all talking about the same thing or, more to the point, if we have all been looking at the same Constitution. Perhaps all that needs to be said is, "Excuse me, but I am referring to the Constitution of the United States of America."

Welcome to the new blog for a Confederate Constitutionalist view of history, national and world events. I will post new messages here that will hopefully inspire those who similarly believe in Jeffersonian democracy and provoke thought from all on various issues. The War Between the States was a defining period in our history pitting not just industrialism against agrarianism, but also
