The NAACP has chosen Ben Jealous as its new president after a contentious debate that lasted long into the night, members of its board of directors said Saturday. There was not much fanfare as the 31-24 vote was cast for the new 35-year-old Californian. Jealous is the youngest president in the history of the organization. To see more of what he has said, please:

The NAACP is at it again in Pendleton, South Carolina. 'Administrators at Pendleton High School said Monday night that clothing that had the Confederate flag printed on it caused racial tension at the school during Black History Month.... However, efforts to ban the apparel were thrown out by the district’s superintendent, Gary Burgess. He said there just is not enough reason to ban the flag....'

'If you've been on Interstate 5 near Ridgefield, Wash. lately, you might have done a double take at the area's newest landmark -- a Confederate flag.... Brent Jacobs is with the Sons of Confederate Veterans. The group raised both the stars and stripes and the stars and bars in honor of Jefferson Davis, the former president of the Confederate states, and unsung hero of the War of Southern Independence, according to the Sons.'

Thankfully, the news coverage of the story has been mostly positive. It is also refreshing and inspiring to see pro-South patriots everywhere in America. We salute Brent Jacobs for standing tall and educating the public!

Ron Paul's “The Revolution: A Manifesto,” has topped The New York Times best-seller list and the Amazon sales chart. It has also helped rally his grass-roots following long after John McCain clinched the GOP presidential nomination.... Now the Ron Paul revolution, as his supporters call it, is experiencing a second wind. Paul took 16 percent of the vote in Pennsylvania, his best primary showing yet, and has surpassed 1 million votes in the GOP contest. Ron Paul Republicans have started roiling local party organizations, taking control of state conventions and running for public office, all without much coordination from their leader.' This article documents Dr Paul's rising influence in the GOP, going through several congressional races where Paul-like candidates have won over neo-con establishment types of late.

Anyone else tired of earth-shaking bass coming from "urban" vehicles these days? Well, in Sarasota, Florida, cops now can do more than just give tickets to 'noise pollution' offenders. Some minorities are upset, thinking these laws unfairly target them. Others, such as the Black policeman in this video, are all in favor of it. Is this a matter of liberty or irritation? One thing is for sure - the exact powers of policemen and what exactly defines 'noise pollution' need to be very specifically defined, or the potential for abuse definitely exists.

'Things are so ugly for the members of the GOP right now, it’s worth pondering their political mortality: Put bluntly, can this party be saved?  We talked to some of the smartest minds in Republican politics, and their prognosis is pretty grim. They think it will take pretty big changes — and possibly many, many years — to repair a Republican brand sullied by excessive spending, an unpopular war and an even more unpopular president.'

With more and more Southrons apparently not voting for the GOP of late, can the Party survive as a 'national' force? Recent losses in conservative districts in Lousiana and Mississippi seem to hint at a developing trend. Is Dixie fed up with the GOP? One thing seems to be more than obvious: shouting "Obama will be our ruin - vote Republican!" is not going to be enough. As the article says, 'Republicans have now failed twice this month to win by using Obama against Democratic congressional candidates in the Deep South.'

'Bortolo Ruiz was fishing with four other Mexican day laborers at Wahoo Creek April 5 when a state Department of Natural Resources Ranger asked the men for their fishing licenses. When they could provide neither a fishing license nor valid identification, DNR Cpl. Adam Loudermilk arrested the men and took them to the Hall County jail, where it was soon determined they were in the United States illegally. Under a new local-federal initiative known as 287(g), jailers processed the men to be turned over to immigration officials for deportation proceedings.... "There’s no way five people fishing in the middle of the day would cause anybody alarm or concern," Corso said. Corso’s law partner, David Kennedy, said he believes law enforcement officers are selectively targeting Hispanics with the knowledge that the new initiative could see them deported.'

We salute Cpl. Adam Loudermilk for removing five criminal aliens from our society!

"Maryland…outpost of the South…first to be approached by Northern invasion…"

-Jefferson Davis

The vast majority of individuals whom I meet recognize my beloved Maryland as a Southron State - if for nothing else but the fact that I am obviously a Southron by my views and the manner in which I behave and speak. Perhaps even more telling is the fact that my family has called Maryland home since the colonial days, back when she was ruled by another class of tyrants. Despite this recognition, it can be said that there remain those who are hesitant to "officially" refer to Maryland as that which she is - Southron. Perhaps it is due to it being somewhat overlooked; we are not an overbearing State in terms of geography or population. However, perhaps it is due to a conscious exclusion due to unfettered yankee migration to this area and the historic and cultural revisions put forth by these invaders - exactly what the remainder of the South is experiencing. Indeed, it could be argued that Maryland has suffered the most damage at the hands of the North in terms of the image perceived by its fellow Southron States. I believe this is likely the rationale which causes the Southron Movement to be somewhat hesistant in fully embracing my fellow citizens (citizens - native, Southron Marylanders caught up in this mess - not the individuals who have come and merely live here). Some would say that Maryland's current condition makes it "difficult to accept," a "weak" argument, even a "hopeless" case, but when one looks carefully at our State, it becomes clear that it is among the strongest arguments the South can make - if only it will continue to maintain the Mason-Dixon and put Maryland back on the map of our Southron Homeland!

If any of y'all reading this have visited the urban parts of Maryland (especially those bordering the imperial capital of Washington, as well as once-Southron Baltimore) and have felt out of place, good. I say this because that is exactly how we true Marylanders feel when we have (and I mean HAVE) to go there for a particular reason. We've always been on the frontline and have been troubled by our observations. Despite valiant efforts by our statesmen to resist, our State was invaded and occupied by Lincoln's hordes before an act of secession could be officially passed. Many drafts of an ordinance of secession were made and embraced, which is exactly why Dishonest Abe sent in yankee troops. We experienced the tyranny and atrocities forced upon ALL of Dixie several years later.

Now, just like our Brethren, we face an extension of this invasion - to an extreme degree. The invading force this time around still consists of yankees (and now also their illegal immigrant counterparts from abroad, supported by their scalawag lapdogs), but this time they are here to stay, to settle and colonize us. With the ungodly growth of the leviathan known as the federal government, the resulting bureaucracy has brought them here. They've done all they can to obliterate our way of life, our morals, and our overall culture; yet we true, Southron Marylanders are not extinct! We may be on the frontline, and the "powers that be" may be attempting to shift the boundaries of Dixie, but we have not given up, nor have our identity and loyalties ever shifted. If the South allows the enemy to encroach upon our natural, historic boundaries, it will not end with Maryland - it will only be the beginning of complete isolation and extinction for all of our Southron Homeland.

Is this the proper fate of the State that contributed tens of thousands of citizen-soldiers to defend its fellow Southrons against a beligerent usurper? NO! This is the home of Lloyd Tilghman (brigadier general and "Hero of Kentucky"), the home of Raphael Semmes (rear admiral and also brigadier general). This is the home of Admiral Franklin Buchanan and John H. Winder (brigadier general and defender of Richmond). This is the home of the John Wilkes Booth and the others who plotted to end the tyrant's rule. Ever watchful of the frontline, we know full and well what all of our Southron Homeland faces. Claim us for the South in the hearts and minds of each and every one of y'all, and we'll do the rest. Maintain the Mason-Dixon! Please, put Maryland back on every map of the Southland, and we'll always stand at the frontline, at this northernmost outpost of the South!

'Just down the street from Marietta's famous Big Chicken, Mulligan's has carved a provocative niche in an increasingly multicultural area, thanks to its owner's ultra-conservative political views. If you live in Marietta, it's impossible not to know what's on Norman's mind, as he posts his views on signs in front of Mulligan's. Among his recent musings: "I wish Hillary had married OJ," "No habla espanol — and never will" and the standard "I.N.S. Agents eat free." "I'm saying out loud what everyone in this town whispers," Norman said.'

Now however, the Georgia bar-owner is being targeted by a coalition of local immigrant rights groups.

'Tim O'Hare, who made a name leading Farmers Branch's efforts to drive out illegal immigrants, was elected mayor of the Dallas County suburb [of Farmers Branch, Texas] Saturday... Mr. O'Hare led [efforts] to ban apartment rentals to illegal immigrants. The measure passed overwhelmingly but has been tied up by legal challenges.... Meanwhile, Irving's incumbent mayor and a city council member beat challengers who wanted more immigration enforcement in the city – where campaigns were highly heated and often personal....' And then in Carrollton, Texas Ron Branson won the mayor's race by making opposition to illegal immigration a central theme of his campaign.

'Construction on one of the most visible promontories in West Tennessee for a massive Confederate flag and plaza is expected to begin in June.... Trimble resident Hamilton Parks, a life member of the heritage group Sons of Confederate Veterans, donated a 50-by-50 foot parcel north of where his great-grandfather's log cabin was located, adjacent to Pierce Cemetery.... The project is part of an effort to place the "mega-flags" on prominent locations across the South. The flag will be lighted at night, said Parks.'

'The South Carolina House voted Wednesday to remove fines of up to $10,000 per worker from a bill intended to punish businesses that knowingly hire illegal immigrants, changing a key provision passed earlier by the Senate. The latest proposal also removed employers’ ability to use a new paper-based system created and audited by the state.'

This was a major retreat in the face of a massive invasion. South Carolinians need much stronger leadership than they are currently receiving - especially on this all-important issue.

It would seem that being the 'lesser of two evils' is simply not going to cut it anymore. 'In recent weeks, Republicans have lost a Louisiana House seat they had held for more than two decades and an Illinois House seat they had held for more than three. Internal polls show that next week they could lose a Mississippi House seat that they have held for 13 years....'
