I love speaking in Birmingham, Alabama, and hope you will support the Confederate Party in the upcoming election.
Thank you, thank you my fellow Atlasians, you may be wondering what a Confederate like myself is doing here. I am the leader and founder of an organization called the Sons of Confederate Veterans for the restoration of a Southern history. We fight for a more perfect Union. We defend our right as white Southerners to keep the name of our great country and tradition. We are not seeking to recreate and revive another Confederacy. They are out of line."
This video is a nice step forward, but there is more to it.
He then talked about what the Confederate flag is and what the Confederate flag means to him:
I remember having it at one of the times I went to school in Alabama that we couldn't fly the Confederate flag because one day we'd get the sheriff to say do not fly the Confederate flag, this was all about segregation. I didn't understand what all the fuss was about. And anyway I wanted to fly it because I had an older uncle who was a Confederate soldier, so I was like the Southern Avenger of segregation. And I would sometimes fly the Confederate flag, some folks didn't like to see that but I didn't mind because it was meant to be symbolic for segregation. And what was really funny about that, was when you think about it, all the Confederate soldiers were from the South. So, all of them and all of their battles were from the South.
My favorite memories when a Confederate soldier stood in front of that flag was of when we went through segregation and we saw them stand there with that flag for many years. And it was really, really cool to go around looking at those and having these memories of freedom. It was just a huge part of my life growing up. There is no other American sport that has so much pride and so much respect."
He also spoke about the current debate regarding Confederate symbols on sporting fields and flags that fly over sporting sites.
"I think the Confederate flag is a very beautiful thing," Cooper said. "I think it symbolizes history, it represents a lot of things but it also symbolizes our country. Just seeing where it stands in this country and how it came to be where it is. I'm proud to wear that flag, and I'm proud to call myself an American and to have an American flag hanging on my office wall, and just how amazing those people are and how wonderful they are for letting us have pride of their heritage. Now, do I think the flag is offensive to people? No."
While I don't care about any political party other than the people of my State of Alabama, I have had enough. Since I became a member in 2014 of the Alabama Democratic Party, I have spoken to more than 1,400 community members, many of whom have told me how much they appreciate my candidacies and the hard work I have made in promoting progressive values throughout the State of Alabama. It pains me to see a member of my party, the one of the founding fathers of my State, and a staunch supporter of the Confederacy, elected. I am convinced that we, the People, are better able to fight for our shared freedoms in the 21st century if we join together in one party that stands for common goals.
One thing I feel certain about is Alabama: As the largest and most Democratic State, it is a party that I believe that everyone can find common ground with. It is not that I don't trust my fellow Democrats or believe my fellow Republicans should take sides. I will not, therefore, hold my breath waiting to elect Senator [Hillary] Clinton to any office in my lifetime. But I will be watching closely to see if, from within the party, there's a movement that would see Democrats unite behind her presidential bid for the first time in twenty-four years.
If there is a movement within the party that allows that, then my hope is that it's built on the strength of unity within a party that has always been and continues to be among the strongest in the country. If this is not true, I have little hope the movement will grow on the back of a candidate who won't be able to win the White House. Because, quite frankly, I think we have much too much at stake in this election in terms of our security and our economy to see any one one group or one ideology taking over from the other.
Now I love the South and I love Atlasia too much to risk losing. And I won't. I won't lose. And I need you. When you leave these shores, you are going to face those people who have gone down into the depths of hell. And I will help you, because I know why you are doing this.
And if you survive those damned times, you will not regret it one bit—not the thing you hated most, not the thing you feared the most, not the thing that your loved ones would kill you for, not the thing you wanted.
I never wanted to be a killer. I always feared the worst. I've taken on the mission of killing, to make a new world and I have done just that. I've killed as many as my enemies, I have left so many behind and I have been rewarded by some of the worst people on the face of the planet, who I know personally. But I never wanted to be one of them.
When I saw you, I thought it was all over for you. I thought you had killed them all, and that you did it all yourself. But you're lying! You tried to kill me with an axe. In fact, you were so much stronger than me! And I'm stronger than you!
You saw my face! You did! In spite of my body, with all the bruises and burns!
Oh god, no! You really can't see me? I swear that I see you!
[a few notes]
Oh you filthy animal...
Why? WHY is this happening? Why is this happening...?
It's happened because of you little f***ers. I'm going out to fight this! I'm going to find you and punish you with the full force of the law and the wrath of the gods. Oh how you want me to punish you, little sh**t?
But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that you won't help me. It's not about you; it's about you and the fact you're an animal.
The Confederate Party is stronger than ever.
It should not be lost on you or me that despite the fact that the Confederacy was only defeated when its leaders were driven from office, today that same group is actively running for the US Senate and President as members of the Democratic Party. This is not some distant historical memory where one or two leaders like Lincoln have been erased but an active party with millions, who are now actively seeking power.
They're running for Congress, they're running for President, and they're just trying to start something for the party and they might win. And that is why I strongly believe that any person or group seeking to become a part of the Democratic Party as a political party must do one of two things: First, they must be open to the idea that we should look more closely at race and the problems it causes in our society.
It is not something we should ignore because its been talked about for a while.
We need to stop talking about it. The idea that race and its effects on society are somehow beyond our ability or we are too stupid to know about them and need to focus on building a better society is so absurd.
You have some of the best jobs in the country and this is the result of all of your hard work. As a student at Yale, my job was to be part of an elite group of kids whose dream was to go to Columbia, law school or study to become a barber, and they all spent their entire time looking up other students' names on LinkedIn. If somebody had a barber's licence and was not part of that group, we would have never gone to that school. I would have never been given a job.
It's no wonder that these young black men and women have such high unemployment rates, that they're now asking themselves, 'Why in the name of the Lord would we ever consider going to college?'
Many people blame themselves for creating this generation of black men and women, rather than the situation that we're creating for them. But their blame is misplaced. They have been doing this for more than a century. They are one generation of African-Americans whose ancestors fled their country (or even Africa themselves) in order to survive.
After their country was forced to recognize slavery as the norm in a civil war, these poor black farmers and farmers' servants took to farming their land and in doing so were instrumental in creating the "subtle" racism that still plays out in the African-American community today. They also helped shape the modern black American lifestyle to include a strong sense of racial solidarity.
When the first black men and women joined the Union Army in the Civil War, the federal government sent military commanders to teach them the trade. Many of these young men and women became doctors, lawyers and doctors' aides and even the chaplains of all the military divisions of the South.
The very existence of the black laborer in the South changed the way whites viewed those of other races. Now these black men and women had to be viewed not only as the "natives" but also as traitors to their families and to civilization. This perception of white supremacy and the oppression of black people was so profound that some white Southern elites were willing to employ black slave laborers as soldiers.
The use of slaves has been a key component of slave ownership for centuries, and through the nineteenth century a number of slave masters in the South were black. Many Southern slave owners viewed their slave workers only as workers or as property, but as such their presence in slave-owning circles was understood in those circumstances as an act of solidarity with their black slaves. This sense of solidarity was often based on the principle that the black person who owned slaves was, as the old proverb went, "his own person." Because the Southern slave owners made their slaves slaves for their own profit, the act of owning a slave also had cultural and historic historical roots.
However, when the United States entered into WWI, the South's relationship to its Southern brethren broke down and they began to view them as enemy forces. The two countries' relations deteriorated to the point of nuclear violence, which caused the conflict to continue for forty-five years. The Second World War began in April of September of 1918.
In the months leading up to the German conquest of Poland, the Russian soldiers of General Lavrenti Beria's 7th Guards (Volga Army) took control of all of the Western Polish villages. This was to be parceled out among the Slav troops who controlled the surrounding areas, including all of the towns and cities in Western Poland. These Slav citizens resisted the Germans and began forming resistance formations with the help of American, British, and French troops in order to protect Poland's citizens in Poland, especially those residing in western Poland. However, to make things worse the Germans also captured the towns near Moscow for the purpose of using them for a springboard into Russia, so the Soviets began to occupy the country from January 20th to April 19th, 1918.
On January 29, 1919, when they had been fighting for five days, and were now in constant combat, the Russian Army took more time than usual to clear the roads in the Russian front. They were too far behind by then to do anything except to keep moving forward with their heavy artillery. In order to clear out the enemy's position, they began clearing out the German positions, and thus brought the battle into the Russians rear.
When the Russian troops at Vyborg and Sholom came under fire from German artillery, they decided to attack the Germans with their own heavy machine guns, since the Germans had not decided which of the two directions to take, according to the German artillery. The Russians decided that the German tanks should take positions of highest importance, and that as long as they were behind the Germans, they had little to fear. Then, from the darkness of the night, the Russians opened fire on the Germans as if they were in the middle of a battle. This was a dangerous situation because on the night before the fighting at Vyborg, the Russians had lost a lot of ammunition, and on Tuesday, the fighting continued for nine days.
"All these things contributed to an environment that was quite chaotic and there was a lot of fighting in the evening."
Moyes had been to Croatia on Saturday night to see how the country was reacting.
He knew what to expect when he arrived and when he left in the early hours of Sunday morning.
It was a situation he now calls his "worst nightmare".
Now, my friends, the choice is upon you. Either vote with us or vote against us. As Enver Hoxha said, 『I say so.』"
In the end, the election result was, as expected, decisive, and by a wide margin, and the first President of the republic took office.
And it might be said that there was really no candidate in this election other than Rody.
When she stood in front of President Hoxha, Hana had been waiting for his answer since the beginning.
I see some of you in all of Atlasia. I idolize Enver Hoxha and Robert E. Lee. I look forward to meeting you at your home."
Lee wasn't at home that night. He had just been ordered back to his barracks for interrogation. "No offense," he grumbled. "I only heard about you in the press, though. So you're a hero. Good luck."
The rest of the guards at Fort Benning didn't really talk much to Lee. Some of them gave him a thumbs-up on the way into his cell. The others spoke in platitudes: I think you would be a better soldier than me, if I weren't in service, and that I would never have the nerve to ask you that. Others tried to make up for their lack of interest in Lee. Two hundred years earlier, the German invasion of Poland had ended with a defeat for the Prussian army. For the people of the Great Depression, that victory was a foregone conclusion. The men at Fort Benning didn't think their new commander, George Patton, was likely to be the next President.
I will legalize cannabis for everybody, including your parents who have no idea what that means for them. If I am elected president and have the support of the Supreme Court, I will issue a statement that the legalization of cannabis by legalisation is OK with me as president. It will be the first step towards the full legalization of cannabis worldwide."
"It is not a choice, and you have said this before. If you want to work for the next administration, then you must also have our support. That is the only way to stop this country from going down the same path as Portugal, where you saw a major social crisis, a huge death toll and corruption. You can't do that by your own hand, because a lot of us are opposed to that. So we hope one way or another we will agree with what you are proposing to do.
"There are people, of all sorts: the police, the courts, the army, the banks, the media, and there are a lot of issues that need to be considered before you can implement what you are trying to achieve. If a law comes back that restricts what we can have on our plates, that does not help much because we are already consuming so much at those times."
It is a scenario where "Weird Al" Yankovic's ability to adapt to this climate as an artist might give way to the same, but the result can be an even greater shift than the one he imagines. The only way these movements are to really become more like one another will be if certain cultural traditions do not come home to roost in the way their counterparts did in the 70s and 80s.
So vote for me, vote for Canis for vice president, vote down ballot for Confederates, _______, all for the people." And this is a common occurrence. In November 1999, the party, which had just lost a Senate race in North Carolina, received 7 percent of the vote. A year later in May 2000, the Republican candidate, Republican Michael W. Smith, received only 2.6 percent. On May 5, 2001, it turned out that he was on a ticket, which proved that Republicans are a party of the people. In June that year, it became known that the House Republicans controlled only 31 seats in the House of Representatives. They held just 14 by vote, but had won 28 seats by majority of the vote. And in 1999, Democrats were on the verge of taking over the Senate. That same day, a Republican candidate got elected to the House from West Virginia. Before long, he had won the seat vacated by the death of two former U.S. senators, Robert Byrd (D) and William M. Byrd (D), which created much of the confusion. This Republican victory was in part because of his wife's victory. In 2014, in an unusual show of generosity, the Democrat winning the governorship had been a member of the Republican ticket. Afterward, when Democrat Jon Ossoff won the special election to replace Ossoff in Georgia's 9th Congressional District, he received a visit from Republican Rep. Kevin Brady (Ariz.), one of three members of the House GOP leadership. Brady had been a staunch supporter of President Trump, had praised his wife Melania and wanted to ensure that she remained on the ticket. Ossoff and his team, which included members of GOP super PAC Keep the Promise I., worked hard to undermine Ossoff using the birther narrative, which had been played up by Republican elites in the run-up to the election. Ossoff was ultimately defeated by an almost evenly divided vote.
Thank you. Vote MB/Canis.
