American (?) Spring?:“I didn’t see the Civil War-But I’m from the South & we’re still fighting it"

From the Raw Story's summary of the American Spring events...

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/201...

“I’m so fed up with the tyranny I sold my jet ski,” the caller said. “I’m so fed up with the way the government is manipulating the water with the chemtrails, I’m afraid I can’t even use my jet ski.”

.........

One of the demonstrators suggested they sing the national anthem, and he initially led off with the opening words to “America The Beautiful” before joining the others in “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

...............

A woman in her 60s compared the demonstration to the wars she had lived through, going back to the Korean War.

“I didn’t see the Civil War,” she said. “But I’m from the South, and we’re still fighting it.”

...

A caller from North Carolina said he feared Obama would declare
martial law and begin executing Christian citizens as a prelude to civil
war.

Maybe they're right - if you can't even use your jet ski because of the chemtrails and the tyranny, what has become of our democracy??



That's the best line to come out of Americal Fail so far.

was the same woman was handed a megaphone after a person with the camera kept trying to get people to "say something" to "all the viewers", and she looked at it unsure of what to do next, and eventually put the cord on the end of it around her wrist, and let it hang like that while she looked around clueless.

HUNTSVILLE, AL–For the 135th straight year since Gen. Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox, representatives for the South announced Monday that the region has postponed plans to rise again.

Three of the estimated 45 million Southerners who have not yet gotten around to rising again.

"Make no mistake, the South shall rise again," said Knox Pritchard, president of the Huntsville-based Alliance Of Confederate States. "But we're just not quite ready to do it now. Hopefully, we'll be able to rise again real soon, maybe even in 2001."

Pritchard's fellow Southerners shared his confidence.

"Yes, sir. The South will rise again, and when it does, I'll be right up front waving the Stars and Bars," said Dock Mullins of Decatur, GA. "But first, I gotta get my truck fixed and get that rusty old stove out of my yard."
