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 here

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 here

After reading this demonstration of extremist liberal sleaze, you may wish to drop Professor Fartly a note, by clicking (here)

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.

For Mr. Melton's declaration of independence, in behalf of the SP or North Carolina, click here.

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.

Mahoney, an ex-Marine, is a true Southern Gentlemen, with a keen eye for the protection and defense of individual liberties and state sovereignty.

FREE 3'X5' CONFEDERATE FLAG WITH SIP MEMBERSHIP!

We have 16 3'X5' Confederate flags in inventory. The SIP Executive Committee has decided to give these away free to the next 16 southerners who join the SIP. Because of the limited supply, these will not last long. If you have considered becoming a member or supporter of the SIP, now may be a good time. New members will also receive free SIP bumper/window stickers. Click on the blue "Join The SIP" button on the left side of this page.

OUT OF DEFEAT, VICTORY

Yes, Mike Crane has lost his Fannin County, Georgia bid for elective office...and we wish he had won.

However, let's put this thing into perspective. Are there positive accomplishments to be found within the outcome of Crane's race? Is there a lesson to be learned by the broader Southern Movement? Assuredly so. ... (more)

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? ... (more)

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)

TIM CHAVEZ OF THE "TENNESSEAN" GETS IT RIGHT ON VANDERBILT'S CONFEDERATE CONTROVERSY

Tim Chavez, the Tennessean's most ardent foe of ultra-liberal political correctness, whacks Vanderbilt's elitist administration for its hypocrisy in the removal of the word "Confederate" from a dorm building there.

OPEN LETTER TO MR. JERRY BAXLEY OF THE NATIONAL SOUTHERN PARTY

Dear Mr. Baxley,

As you are aware, a controversy has recently developed regarding whether you have served in the military, or whether you have claimed to have served.

For well over two years, your name has appeared at http://www.authentiseal.org/reportsb.htm, on the "Wall of Shame"....a list of individuals who have falsely claimed to have served in the U.S. Navy SEALs. Although the posting of your name there has been the subject of much public discussion in various chat rooms and forums, the posting has apparently gone unchallenged by you, or anyone else. ...(click here for letter)

VANDERBILT: CHANGE NAME TO "POLITICAL CORRECTNESS UNIVERSITY"?

It looks as though authorities at Vanderbilt University have knuckled under to the forces of political correctness, by removing the word "Confederate" from an historical building there. Apparently, these liberal elitist "educators" wish to deny history ..... OUR history! (More)

HISTORIC BREAKTHROUGH FOR SOUTHERN MOVEMENT!
by Madison Cook

The Southern Party of Georgia has made a political breakthrough in its home state, the implications of which can only be imagined. For nearly a century and a half our country has been locked into a political system dominated by two self-centered political parties that have steadily discarded the principles of Our Founding Fathers.

Now, all that has changed. ... (more)

THE FREE STATE PROJECT: An Introduction
By Jason P. Sorens, President, Free State Project

How much is liberty worth to you?  Try to quantify it: what would you give up in order to secure real liberty, the kind of society envisioned in the Declaration of Independence?  Would you move to another part of the U.S. if it meant you could enjoy that kind of liberty, and participate in building it?  If so, the Free State Project may well be for you. ...

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 for whole article)

LEST DARKNESS FALL (article)

Walking battlefields, can be a very inspiring event. So many thoughts run through your mind. The courage of gallant men, their sacrifices and honour. The impact of the ebb and flow of combat on our current lives. This is particularly true for War of Southern Independence or War of Northern Aggression battlefields. For these battlefields were not only a mortal contest between courageous men, but an intense battle over our form of government and the very foundations of American Liberty. ...

REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!

In spite of the wishes of the people whom they claimed to represent, many Republican and Democrat legislators voted in favor of Tennessee Governor Don Spendquist's 4.5% income tax. To their great credit, the people of Tennessee were not fooled by the massive barrage of liberal propaganda orchestrated by the Governor and his pals in the media.

Now, the liberal-socialist infestation in the legislature must be cleaned out, once and for all. These big spenders (of YOUR money) must be defeated in the upcoming elections....we must REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER. To see the complete list of those legislators who voted to impose an oppressive income tax on already overburdened Tennessee taxpayers, click (HERE)....and REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER....NO VOTES FOR TAX TURNCOATS!!
