It's tough being an old, while male southerner these days, isn't it? History is catching up to you, and you don't like it.

But hey, the post Confederacy had a good run. 165+ years is nothing to sneeze at. But all things must pass.

I find great humor in people bemoaning the removal of statues that until two days ago they didn't know existed. Those of you in Duval County go down to Hemming Park and gaze upon the Confederate Soldier all the time? Didn't think so. Would you know if it was removed last week? Didn't think so.

It doesn't bother you that a lot of this love of the Confederacy was in direct reaction to Brown v. Board of Education? I went to school in Duval County - grades 1-12 - and never had a black kid in any class. Duval fought integration tooth and nail. That's the history you're trying to preserve?

Come Senators, Congressmen
Please head the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't citicize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
And your old road is rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend a hand
For the times they are a changin'.

Don't worry, FBT. You and the boys at the country club, as well as Stroud and Winger and Drifter and Dakota and Richard Spencer and David Duke and all associated fellow travelers will get through this. It just won't have the outcome you wish. You thought with Trump you had a chance to string it out a little longer - but the little tin god you chose to support turned out to be a petulant man-child who puts his personal grievances before any agenda. And he's a terrible politician who is alienating everyone except a few true believers.

So, put on your Sean Hannity Truth Deflectors and hunker down. You'll always have Byron LeftTown's trolling posts to amuse you.
