ALABAMA SP SECEDES
FROM BAXLEY PARTY, ENDORSES ABBEVILLE CONFERENCE
In a statement issued early this morning, newly
elected Chairman Rick Cook announced that the SP of Alabama has voted to
disaffiliate from the Baxley Party and the Southern National Committee.
The SPAL thus joins the SP of Georgia, the SIP of Tennessee, the SP of
North Carolina, the SP of South Carolina and the SP of Maryland as
independent and sovereign state political parties. The latter three
organizations have all separated from the Baxley Party within the last
three weeks.
States in which other Baxley-led parties have now
disappeared or gone dormant include Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky, New
Mexico, Oklahoma, Arizona and Delaware.

THE REAL FACE OF VANDERBILT'S JONATHAN
FARLEY

Educating your children in what? Using YOUR tax
dollars for what!!!
|
Assistant Professor
Jonathan Farley of Vanderbilt University, is shown above,
proudly posing with a poster of Communist terrorist and murderer Che
Guevara. The photo is from Farley's Green Party congressional
campaign web
site. He has been the subject of coverage by the SIP for his
stunning ignorance of southern history, heritage and culture (see
stories below). It is disheartening to know that Vanderbilt would
hire such a fool....but not particularly surprising, unfortunately.
The reader is invited to visit Farley's web site. Just
about every leftist crackpot idea ever proposed by extremist
ideologues is represented there. Now, say a prayer for Tennessee,
take a deep breath, hold your nose....and click (here) |
GREG HANSON
HAMMERS VANDERBILT'S PROFESSOR FARTLY
Mr. Greg
Hanson, a friend of the SIP, has posted a terrific letter to Professor
Fartley of Vanderbilt. Greg points out Fartly's errors, and makes it clear
that the Prof is exactly what he appears to be....ignorant. Click

THINKING OF
VANDERBILT FOR YOUR KIDS? BETTER READ THIS FIRST!
Visitors here are aware of Vanderbilt's
current attempt to erase your southern heritage by the removal of the word
"Confederate" from Confederate Memorial Hall there. Now, a new assault is
underway, spearheaded by Associate Professor Flatulence
Fartly.
Fartly has penned a guest opinion article in the
Nashville Tennessean, which begins by demeaning Gen. Nathan Bedford
Forrest and goes on to smear just about every ideal and principle honored
and held dear by southerners. One would hope that those who teach our
children would be less obviously extremist in their views...and that they
would at least know what the War Between The States was all about.
Instead, we see clearly purposeful distortion, misdirection and lies. As
you read this gaseous emission from one of Vanderbilt's finest, ask yourself this question....Is THIS what
I want our children to believe about our southern heritage, our history
and our culture?
Warning....this is going to anger you. Click

NORTH CAROLINA
SOUTHERN PARTY DECLARES INDEPENDENCE FROM BAXLEY PARTY, CITES LEADERSHIP
FAILURES AND CONSTITUTION VIOLATIONS
Jeffrey Melton, Chairman of the SP of North Carolina, has
announced the organization's formal separation from the Baxley Party. In
the same announcement. Mr. Melton reiterated the party's support and
endorsement of the Abbeville Conference, to be convened in Abbeville, SC
on February 22, 2003....a meeting of independent and unaffiliated state
political groups and parties.
Mr. Melton, observing that there are
many fine and principled people in the few remaining state BP
organizations, citied the failures of the "national" leadership under
Chairman Jerry Baxley, as well as violations of the party's constitution.
The Southern Party of North Carolina joins the Southern Party of Maryland,
the Southern Party of Georgia, the Southern Party of South Carolina and
the Southern Independence Party of Tennessee as unaffiliated and
independent state political parties which have opted out of the Baxley
Party.

BAILEY
ATTACKS MEMPHIS CONFEDERATE PARKS, MONUMENTS....
AGAIN
Walter Bailey, Chairman of the
Shelby County Commission, is at it again. Every once in a while, this
Champion of Political Correctness tests the water in attempting to erase
the names of Forrest Park, Confederate Park, and Jefferson Davis Park, in
Memphis.
This time, Bailey sobs that he was recently embarrassed
because a lawyer for a heavyweight fighter said he didn't like the names.
Bailey can't seem to grasp the fact that these parks and their monuments
are symbols of southern pride, and testaments to our respect for history,
and for the brave men who gave their lives for the CSA. These fools seem
never to give up, do they?
We think it might be a good idea to drop
Commissioner Bailey an email about his latest silliness. Just tell him to
leave our history, our parks and our heritage alone! Send you calls and
emails to....

SOUTHERN PARTY OF
SC DECLARES INDEPENDENCE FROM BAXLEY PARTY
The SP of South Carolina has formally separated from
the national Southern Party, headed by Jerry Baxley, Greg Kay and Terry
Sloan. SP of SC Chairman Rebecca Barbour cited repeated and ongoing
violations of the SP constitution as factors considered by the officers of
the state party. South Carolina is the second SP state organization to
secede from the heavily centralized Baxley Party in as many weeks. The SP
of Maryland declared itself independent approximately ten days
ago.
Both parties are expected to participate in the
Abbeville Conference, which will convene in Abbeville, South Carolina on
February 22, 2003.

MARYLAND SP
SECEDES FROM BAXLEY'S SNC, CITES LEADERSHIP
FAILURES
The Executive Committee of the
Southern Party of Maryland has
announced it's disaffiliation from the "national" SP, citing the failure
of the leadership to move the organization forward.
The SIP of
Tennessee salutes the officers and members of the rapidly growing SP of
Maryland for their courage and their vision of the future of the Southern
Movement. In the spirit of local control and state sovereignty, the SPMD
has cast off the bonds of centralism. With our warmest regards, the SIPTN
welcomes this fine organization to the proud ranks of independent and
sovereign state political parties.
GEE, WHAT A SURPRISE...ANOTHER
FALSE CLAIM?
As visitors to the
Southern Party national web site know, SP Chairman Jerry Baxley claims to
be a direct lineal descendant of Thomas Jefferson. Well, here we go again.
We received this item, which appears to refute Baxley's claim. It would
appear the information is accurate. In any case, it is easily verified by
anyone interested. ... (more)
WHAT
IF....?
Historians have often
pondered in print what might have been the outcome if the Texans had been
able to overwhelm Union defenses at Little Round Top. Certainly, the
entire Union line at Gettysburg would have been flanked, and Southern
forces would have won that pivotal battle. At that point, there were no
significant Union forces between Lee and Washington D.C. Perhaps
everything might have been different....and wouldn't that have been great?

BAXLEY "OUTED" ON MILITARY
SERVICE CLAIMS
Jerry Baxley, Chairman of the Central Southern Party, has been
the subject of a great deal of speculation recently. In spite of several
published testimonials from well-respected members and founders of the
Southern Movement, that Mr. Baxley had made such claims to them, Mr.
Baxley has denied to many of his state chairmen that he has ever claimed
service. As the email we received points out, SP Vice Chairman Greg Kay
has, in Mr. Baxley's behalf, in forums and chat rooms, repeatedly denied
that Baxley has ever claimed to have served as a Navy SEAL. The email
received has an attachment, which appears to be Mr. Baxley's resume', and
which clearly shows his claim to have served as a U.S. Navy SEAL. ...(more)

PARTING COMPANY (by
Walter Williams)

Each July
4, we celebrate the founding of our nation, but how many Americans
understand – much less respect – the founding principles? I fear
that, for most Americans, July 4 is a celebration of a day off of
work, an excuse for fireworks and feasting on barbecue but not a day
to celebrate and enshrine the liberties the Founders sought for us.
Some of this is the result of dumbed-down schooling, but a large
part, I fear, is simple contempt for our founding principles. (click
