If you say stuff like this, you might be a redneck.
“Somebody needs to say a good word for slavery. Where in the world are the Negroes better off today than in America?” — Jack Kershaw, League of the South board member, 1998.
If you have served as the League of the South’s western Arkansas chapter chairman, you might be a newly elected member of the state House of Representatives.
…there are Republicans and there is Republican Loy Mauch, elected to represent House District 26 near Hot Springs. A former head of the Sons of the Confederate Veterans post in Hot Springs, Mauch calls the Confederate flag “a symbol of Jesus Christ,” and is a current member of The League of the South, a group which works toward the formation of an independent Southern nation.
Founded in 1994 in Killen, Ala., The League of the South advocates for “the secession and subsequent independence of the southern states from this forced union and the formation of a southern republic,” according to the “Introduction” page on its website.
I particularly like this part:
When asked what the Confederate flag symbolizes, Mauch said: “It’s a symbol of constitutional government. It’s a symbol of Jesus Christ above all else. It’s a symbol of Biblical government.”
Give this guy a few years and he’ll probably be the governor, or a member of the U.S. Senate.
This is what we’re dealing with, people.
