In a story by the International Herald Tribune, there are increasing incidents of Homeland security searching through laptops or other electronic devices. This story and others portray the agency as going through everyone’s devices. My own experience is that it is not as widespread as the article makes it sound. In the article is a line that points out that one particular group is being singled out for searches. That line suggests that the department is finally profiling those individuals that have the greater likelihood of nefarious activity than other groups, rather than blanket across the board searches.

What has happened is that the G8 nations are considering expanding their searching for illegal downloads. The boogey man of illegal downloads are being used as an excuse to go fishing for other data.

When I was a teen, the police knew who the trouble makers in the community were and they were on the lookout for those persons. There was less latitude for the trouble makers than for the rest of the community. My take on the news is that such an occurrence is what is happening.  Like many of the news stories today, what is reported is designed to direct the attention of the reader to a specific item. It could be that some in the government are actually protecting the border. Granted, some agents may be doing their job and then some.

This item was one that my experience did not line up with what was reported. I have found that Dixienet.org is not available in all countries or on all internet providers even in the empire. MSN is notorious for having skewed searches for Southern related materials. Can I say that there is a conspiracy to block Southron sites? No, it is happening in some areas, but it is not occurring across the land.

Southern Heroes Set # 3

Like any other distinct people, Southerners have our own heroes — those who have dared to challenge our enemies in defense of our beloved Southland. Sometimes in the halls of government and sometimes on the field of battle, these Southern heroes are the kind of men worthy of emulation and admiration of men, women, and children, alike.

This Set Includes:

• Steven Wilkins - “Patrick Henry & Constitutional Liberty”
  Patrick Henry was one of the few American patriots who spoke out against the proposed constitutional convention in 1787 and refused to attend. In this presentation, Pastor Steven Wilkins explains Patrick Henry’s concerns about the creation of a more powerful federal government and his arguments for the proper way to ensure true liberty in the new American Republic. The visionary thoughts of Patrick Henry are, indeed, appropriate for consideration in our own day of an out-of-control federal government.

• Robert Maddox - “The Christian Character of Stonewall Jackson”
  No true Southern patriot ever tires of hearing a new account of the life of the Confederacy’s greatest hero. Stonewall Jackson was the embodiment of everything best about the Old South, in both his life and his death. Dr. Maddox presents Stonewall in a refreshing presentation which will arouse and motivate you to do more for the Southern Cause, yourself.

• Steven Wilkins - “The Brief Life of Jeb Stuart”
  The dashing cavalry commander Jeb Stuart was the “eyes and ears” of Lee’s army. His daring raids and exploits behind enemy lines made him a household name throughout the Confederacy. His chivalry rivaled even that of the legendary knights of the Round Table. This presentation by Pastor Wilkins is one of the few recorded messages about the life of this great Southern general.

• Clyde Wilson - “John C. Calhoun”
  John C. Calhoun was the foremost spokesman for Southern Rights and “States’ Rights” for an entire generation before the War for Southern Independence. He spent an entire career in Congress, representing his home state of South Carolina, and led the effort to nullify the Tariff of Abominations… an action which nearly precipitated war years earlier than it actually came. His vigorous defence of the use of the Doctrine of Nullification by the states is perhaps the single best chance to restore our liberties in the face of growing federal encroachment today. And there is none more qualified to speak on Calhoun than Professor Clyde Wilson of the University of South Carolina, editor of the Calhoun Papers.
