PRESS RELEASE

Neo-Nazi rally, use of flagThe S.C. Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans respects and strongly supports the Constitutional right of every American to exercise his or her freedom of speech guaranteed under the First Amendment.
However, we, the descendants and true heirs of the men who served the Confederacy, in the strongest possible terms, express our disdain and outrage of past as well as future display of the Confederate Battle Flag by the National Socialist Movement (NSM).
The NSM’s misuse of this time honored symbol that we hold in the highest regard is blatantly offensive and totally disrespectful to the citizen soldiers of the Confederacy, especially the more than 25,000 South Carolinians who courageously fought and bravely died under this flag.
Thousands of patriotic American men who are and have been members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans condemn the NSM’s inappropriate and inflammatory use of the Confederate Battle Flag for political, racist or neo-Nazi purposes.
It is the official policy of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, as expressed in its Constitution, that conduct such as the inappropriate display of the Confederate Flag by the NSM or any hate group is deplorable and unacceptable. Any SCV member found to be in violation of this policy sets firm grounds for immediate expulsion from our organization.
With the same firm and determined resolve to defend South Carolina as our Confederate ancestors, I am,
Randall B. Burbage, Commander
South Carolina Division
Sons of Confederate VeteransA copy of the South Carolina Division’s official “Policy on Hate Groups” is attached for further substantiation of our organization’s determination to protect the honorable use and display of our hallowed symbol, the Confederate Battle Flag.

You see, the SCV knows that the swastika flag isn’t the only one these boys are likely to be carrying, not by a long shot. They also know why the National Socialists would pick our State House as a place to rally. Something about that setting seems as friendly and inviting to them as Nuremberg.
I wonder what it could be — do ya think? Yeah, that’s what I think. And that’s what the SCV knows.

I read today the press release you issued on behalf of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

I want to state in no uncertain terms that you and your organization are anti-white, anti-Southern scum who disgrace the heritage you claim to celebrate. I have no love for the National Socialist Movement but I have less love for white race traitors who endorse the Jewish and communist values of multi-culturalism and anti-racism and cloak them under the guise of Southern racial heritage.
You dishonor your ancestors and all Southern white people. Its a shame that with so many killed by the Union, your ancestors managed to survive.

The Time Warp
It’s astounding, time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely, not for very much longer
I’ve got to keep control
I remember doing the Time Warp
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me and the void would be calling
Let’s do the time warp again…
Let’s do the time warp again!
It’s just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
But it’s the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane,
Let’s do the Time Warp again!
It’s so dreamy, oh fantasy free me
So you can’t see me, no not at all
In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention
Well-secluded, I see all
With a bit of a mind flip
You’re there in the time slip
And nothing can ever be the same
You’re spaced out on sensation, like you’re under sedation
Let’s do the Time Warp again!
Well I was walking down the street just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink
He shook me up, he took me by surprise
He had a pickup truck and the devil’s eyes.
He stared at me and I felt a change
Time meant nothing, never would again
Let’s do the Time Warp again!
This Bill White cat sounds like one fun-loving guy.
Dale Carnegie, perhaps?
Maybe some Montana brochures?
I’m sure his mama must be really proud.
Mr. Warthen:
The case you have made about the Confederate flag is completely without merit, not to mention insulting. A symbol does not become evil because it is misused by an evil person. In similar fashion, freedom of speech does not become evil just because you use it to spout your hatred and bigotry.

Brad, have you ever bothered to attend an SCV meeting or do you have such a closed mind that you’re already determined that it’s the evil of evil organizations?
Maybe Brad could compare the 1939 Nazi’s,the 1861 CSA, and the 1861 USA.
I’ll help. Slave labor- all three
Invade other countries- Nazi,US
Target civilians-Nazi,US
Overthrow government-Nazi,US
Disregard warnings out of Geneva
(killing civilians, human shields,etc-Nazi,US
destruction of personal property(non-combat)
Nazi,US
War crimes-Nazi,Us (Sherman admitted such)
trying to annihilate a race of people-Nazi,US (Jews& Native Americans)
I know people like Brad are trying daily to get others to tie the swastika and the Southern Cross together. Ain’t gonna happen.
History doesn’t change just because you don’t like it.
This post will most likely result in yours truely being banned but it needs to be said regardless of the outcome. I know many here belong to Mr Whites organization and this is not directed to you personally but to your Commander.
Recently Mr White referred to Sons of Confederate Veterans as anti white, anti southern scum who “who endorse the Jewish and communist values of multi-culturalism and anti-racism and cloak them under the guise of Southern racial heritage.”
He goes on to say “You dishonor your ancestors and all Southern white people. Its a shame that with so many killed by the Union, your ancestors managed to survive.
You, Sir are not only an idiot but an uneducated one to boot. Your arrogance is only exceeded by your ignorance. You have no clue, if you did you’d resort to the presentation of fact instead of personal cheap shots and your own communist organizations propaganda.
1. 7,000+ blacks volunteered for service in the Confederate army.
2. Jews along with Indians from 4 major tribes also fought for the CSA
3. Slavery was totally operated by the north prior to the war. ALL U.S. slaves ships were under Northern registry. Slavery was first legalized by the state of Delaware in the 1600’s. Your party needs to be flying the stars and stripes not the battle flag if you want to be historically accurate.
However, your recent attacks upon the SCV Leadership in SC has done nothing more than to aid in our struggle to separate our organization from the dark cloud that yours and the ones like yours has cast upon the SCV. For that….thank you.
So with your slurs being directed to me as well since I am a Southerner and white and a member of several organizations with Southern Heritage roots, I take offense to your half witted comments and will leave you with my sincerest feelings ………..
You, Sir can kiss my Confederate ass!!!
Kindly disregard the referrence to being banned and the members comment. I was going to post this at a racist site but decided this would be a better place and didn’t edit it out.
Perhaps Mr. White, [of the so-called ‘American National Socialist Party’] needs to take time to read history. He would soon find out the Confederacys Attorney General, Sec. of War, and later to be Sec. of State was Jewish. (Judah P. Benjamin). In fact Benjamin wrote the following, which was used in abolitionists tracs.
[Quoting directly]
This passage of his [Judah P. Benjamin] legal brief was reprinted in pamphlets by abolitionists and circulated all over the country:
What is a slave? He is human being. He has feeling and passion and intellect. His heart, like the heart of the white man, swells with love, burns with jealousy, aches with sorrow, pines under restraint and discomfort, boils with revenge and ever cherishes the desire for liberty. His passions and feelings in some respects may not be as fervid and as delicate as those of the white, not his intellect as acute; but passions and feelings he has, and in some respects, they are more violent and consequently more dangerous, from the very circumstances that his mind is comparatively weak and unenlightened. Considering the character of the slave, and the peculiar passions which, generated by nature, are strengthened and stimulated by his condition, he is prone to revolt in the near future of things, and ever ready to conquer his liberty where a probably chance presents itself.
Benjamin concluded by asking, “Will this court be disposed to recognize one standard of humanity for the white man and another for the Negro?” The Louisiana Supreme Court said no and ruled for Benjamin’s clients against the slave owners. The case became a cause célèbre, argued about in Congress and ultimately the object of international arbitration. (24)

Mr Bill White:
I am a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. There is absolutely nothing in common with the Confederacy and the NAZI ideology, which came much later. The Confederacy was an extension of the ideas of Thomas Jefferson and was similar to the early United States. The NAZI ideology was one based on disrespect for humanity and personal sovreignty and socialism. It is an abomination as demonstrated by the use of ovens to render down humans for the manufacture of products in the third reich. It was a dictatorship and all who opposed it was subject to face the ovens. The Confederate flag is our flag not yours. Wave your own damned flag. I have come across people who have been taken in by the NAZI rhetoric. They are nasty people I would never want as friends. The SCV is not anti white, we are just anti NAZI. Our purpose is not to be against anyone except those who would desecrate our heritage. That puts you in the same boat with the NAACP as far as we are concerned. You both dishonor our Confederate ancestors.
Mr. Warthen,
Maybe the real difference between the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the National Socialists is their opposing political beliefs. National Socialists are, um, socialists who want a powerful, centralized government. The Southern tradition, on the other hand, has consistently backed limited, local government. We even have a name for it — States’ Rights.
In fact, Hitler and Lincoln fought for the same principles. On page 575 of Mein Kampf, the dictator-in-waiting wrote in his jail cell, “The mischief of individual federated states . . . must cease and will some day cease.” That’s exactly what Lincoln accomplished in his invasion of the South.
So who has more in common politically with Nazis?
Mr. Monk
Where are you? Why haven’t we heard from you on the Nazi Bill White?’s You could easily have made a bufoon of him as you did on Sen. McConnel’s picture in a Confederate uniform in the Hunley piece. Heck you even took on Jimmy Byrnes accusing him of racism( your opinion) by having a black chouffer-one Mr. Jesse Byrd. You failed to note that Mr. Byrd killed his wife and was pardoned by then Gov. Byrnes.
Mr. Monk , your fans are waiting!
Good lord I am so sick of people putting jews on pedestals which they do not deserve. Jews and indians have nothing in common other than both want the white man exterminated.
I think the white man did more to try and rid the world of both jews and indians they did to rid the world of us, wouldn’t you agree bud-lite?
