Was that worth reading?
Then why not:
Just sayin’
This quote describes the behavior of Antifa and other demonstrators. Ironic, considering the source:
Oh, I'm a good old rebel,
Now that's just what I am,
And for this yankee nation,
I do not give a damn.
I'm glad I fought against her,
I only wish we won.
I ain't asked no pardon for
what I am or done.
I hates the yankee nation and everything they do.
I hates the declaration of independence, too.
I hates the glorious union, t'is dripping with our blood.
I hates the striped banner, and fit it all I could
Of course they want to erase history, they don't want anyone to recognize what they are doing, who they are, what's in their hearts. Next year's Fascists looking for a leader to guide their nihilism.

Small Thoughts
Having not read The Weapon Shops of Isher in some years and unable to find my old paperback copy I ordered a replacement from Amazon. So there it was, on the first page, in the prologue:
THE RIGHT TO BUY WEAPONS
IS THE RIGHT TO BE FREE
People have understood this for generations, it took a lot of efforts (yes, I put that plural on purpose) by anti-immigrant bigots, people seeking favor with protection racketeers, racists, fascists, and fake liberals to reach the current level of hostility to the right to bear arms our so-called betters keep trying to keep stirred up.
One of the specific rights Jim Crow Laws tried to specifically deny Freedmen was the right to bear arms. and making sure that right was extended to all Americans was one of the pretexts used to pass the 14th Amendment, something taught in Junior High and High School American History into the 1980’s.
Lately many Americans are learning the hard way they don’t want to surrender this right and that “reasonable laws to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and madmen” had somehow metamorphized into laws to keep guns out of the hands of honest men.
If the Covid-19 Pandemic teaches us anything, let it be this, it is incredibly stupid to create a system where you need the government’s permission to buy a gun in an emergency and all the government’s offices are closed for the emergency.
