'Sen. John McCain may be the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, but supporters of Ron Paul in Montana refused to abandon their candidate. The group led an impassioned fight Friday at the Montana GOP convention, shaking things up in a failed effort to secure the state's 22 national convention delegates for Paul — who suspended his presidential bid earlier this month. While the battle jazzed up a normally dull delegate selection process, Paul supporters could not muster enough votes to trump McCain's backers. In the end, McCain received all 22 delegates despite a close vote, party officials said.'

'Both candidates already plan to speak at separate sessions [at the annual convention of the National Council of La Raza], and both will address the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials conference next week.'

And we are supposed to grin and happily vote for one of these two traitors?

'Only 12 percent of Americans now have confidence in Congress, the lowest percentage in the 35 years that the Gallup Poll has tracked the number. Americans now view Congress less favorably any of the 14 other American institutions tracked by Gallup, including big business, newspapers and health maintenance organizations.... Friday's survey showed an across-the-board disapproval of Washington, with only 32 percent of Americans expressing confidence in the Supreme Court. The sense of malaise extends beyond the capital — Americans show less confidence than in 2004 in all 15 of the American institutions tracked by Gallup. That includes schools, organized labor and the military (which about 7 in 10 Americans show confidence in, the highest percentage of the 15 institutions). Only banks and the criminal justice system have seen as precipitous a decline as the three branches of the federal government.'

'A Southern heritage group that opposed a statue of President Abraham Lincoln at the American Civil War Center is offering to donate a $100,000 statue of Confederate President Jefferson Davis for the same site. Brag Bowling, a spokesman for the Virginia division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, said the gift is intended to celebrate Davis's birth 200 years ago this month in Kentucky..... The executive director of the Virginia State Conference of the NAACP said Richmond does not need another monument to a Confederate figure.'

This very anti-Southron article from the Tampa Tribune attacking the newly raised giant Confederate flag in that area contains the following quote: 'The best qualities of America are those that allow for people such as Obama, Clinton and John McCain to run for president. The qualities the Confederacy stood for were division, oppression and discrimination; let's not forget that. The Stars and Stripes is the only flag with the moral authority to fly with such prominence over our community.'

One quick point: the Federal rag has the same 'moral authority' to fly over Dixie as it does to fly over Iraq - both are conquered lands that the Feds invaded and have imposed great suffering upon. Invasion, cultural genocide and the like are hardly things to take pride in. They can keep all such 'moral authority,' as well as their Federal rags! 

And what is this about the values of Obama, Clinton and McCain being 'the best of America' huh? What exactly are those values? Corruption, open-borders, consumerism, corporatism, give-away of sovereignty, continual war, globalism, torture, etc. If those were truly the best values of America then this land and its various cultures would definitely NOT be worth saving. Southrons, have always opposed such 'values.'

Rather, the values of Dixie - self-rule, self-reliance, self-determination, local autonomy, cultural preservation, etc. are in fact the exact values that the old (formerly voluntary) American Union was founded upon. Those same values, especially the will to actually fight for them if necessary against centralized tyranny, is what is truthfully represented by the Confederate flag. Sadly, those values have been all but lost in our present leaders and under this present System - as this article points out in its own way.

'Federal agents arrested four supervisors at a House of Raeford Farms poultry plant Tuesday and are expected to arrest six more as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged immigration violations. Immigration officials made the arrests after finding what appeared to be false information on employment records kept at the company's Greenville chicken processing plant, according to Kevin McDonald, first assistant U.S. attorney for South Carolina.'

This is becoming a regular problem with the House of Raeford. Perhaps they had better start following the law and considering their communities and the local people first rather than just profits. Companies like this need to be driven out of business for supporting the invasion and their owners need to be fined and jailed - ultimately, that is the only way to stop ourselves from being replaced in our own land.

'After years of complaints about the failure of the federal government to deport foreign nationals who commit serious crimes, new statistics for Georgia indicate stepped-up efforts are having an impact, particularly in state prisons. The Georgia Department of Corrections transferred 433 felons to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deportation proceedings in 2007....'

While it is certainly nice that the people of Georgia are now free of 433 of the worst of alien criminals in their crowded prisons, it truthfully is almost a meaningless drop in the bucket. Large sections of the Peach State are being converted into 'Little Mexico' complete with all the many problems of that troubled country. The Feds could easily deport 433 criminal aliens every single day and it still would not make up for the millions they are allowing in yearly.

'Undercover investigators testing how tough it is to cross the borders into the U.S. had a better than nine-in-10 chance of pulling it off using oral assertions and counterfeit identification, according to a new U.S. Government Accountability Office report. The report was released the same week as a separate unrelated report that indicates tougher border security isn't deterring illegal entries to the United States.'

The Feds have no intention of ever taking any meaningful steps to combat the invasion - that has to be blatantly obvious to even the least informed among us. Even now, with all the public anger over the matter, they continue to thumb their noses at the people.

'With the Democratic Party finally realizing it cannot take Hispanics for granted, the McCain campaign is bracing for the toughest competition ever for Latino support. After introducing its first Spanish television ad in April and then going back onto Spanish radio in New Mexico and Nevada last week, the McCain campaign has produced 10 other ads targeting Hispanics that will roll out when the time is right... [A tracking service] also noted that the “key growing and emerging” Hispanic markets — in addition to those that are already well-established — are outside the Miami area and in South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Indiana and Nevada. Hispanics could determine the outcome of the McCain/Obama contest in New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada and Florida, states that Bush won by less than 5 percent of the vote in 2004.'

How could it possibly be that the key to winning an election in America is being able to speak Spanish, a foreign language? This trend is a sign of the growing strength of the invasion which is culturally and demographically swamping us.

President Evo Morales of Bolivia is no stranger to us here at SLMN.  Referring to him as a 'Bolivian Lincoln' would not be uncalled for.  Just as Lincoln exploited the Southron States in order to ensure the dominance of Northern interests, Morales has engaged in his own sectional and centralized politics.  Seeking to buy votes from one segment of the population, the radical politician has sought to seize the property of the people of the Santa Cruz region. When the citizens of Santa Cruz held a referendum and overwhelming voted in favor of their autonomy, he refuted their right to do so.

More recently, however, Morales has criticised recent European Union legislation aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration.  While this legislation is justified and not even terribly bold, he nevertheless considers it 'draconian, hypocritical and undiplomatic.'  As is the case with so many Third-World politicians, Morales is apt to encourage his citizens to leave and take advantage of the economic capabilities, hospitality, and procedural weaknesses of other nations – instead of taking responsibility and addressing troubles at home.  That’s 'odd' - the People of Dixie and other nations would very correctly consider that 'draconian, hypocritical and undiplomatic.'  What else should one expect from the Lincoln of Bolivia?

'Conley is not only right on war (unlike Graham's primary challenger Buddy Witherspoon), but he is also right on trade, immigration, civil liberties and amazingly enough the Fed! ...Conley is a pro-life, observant Catholic. His slogan appears to be "help me fight the neocons and advance the cause of liberty". What serious paleo or decentralist would ignore that call to action?'

We just got this word from CarlGa by way of the SHNV forum. Southron patriots in Jacksonville went on the offensive against anti-Southron bigotry. As was reported, about 1,300 fliers were passed out and about 15 folks protested in person, led by Mr Bobby Tillet himself (the man who is being discriminated against by BJ's because he flies a Confederate Battleflag in the back of his truck) and the local Dixie Outfitters. The management there at BJ's took pictures of all the cars and folks at the protest, focusing on Mr Tillet. We wish him the best and hope he doesn't lose his job. Pictures of the rally may be forthcoming. Monthly protests are being planned until BJ's drops its discriminatory stance against Mr Tillet and Southrons in general.

Injustice to Southrons must be challenged any and everywhere. We must let the world know that we will not quietly be pushed aside in our homeland. We hope far more Southron patriots can make it out to the next rally!

'To cheers and applause, a super-sized Confederate flag went up this morning west of Interstate 75 at U.S. 92. Leaders of the Sons of Confederate Veterans said they hoisted the flag to commemorate Flag Day. Thirty men stood on a concrete slab shortly before 8 a.m., each holding a piece of 100-pound flag.'
