“All we ask is to be left alone.”
Selected Quotes for Understanding the Civil War
Selected Quotes from Confederate President Jefferson Davis
I owe the title of this essay to my mentor, Kenneth Bachand (1931-2021), who was a teacher of both English and history, writer, author, and avid researcher of Civil War history. He was my mentor during my blessed decade in Hendersonville, North Carolina. He was a graduate of Stetson University and taught in the Florida school system for 25 years. Nearly blind in later life, he still managed by modern devices to research, write, and edit. Following the death of his beloved wife, Mary Marguerite Bachand, he moved nearer his two daughters and nine grandchildren near Columbia, South Carolina.

“The village leaders decided to abandon the rebuilding of our fortified part of Andria, knowing that our enemies would send their war machines against us again. We concentrated on fortifying our own homes, making them as strong as possible, covering them with rock and dirt. Each family head was ordered to store some food and water, as many weapons as possible, including bullets if he had a firearm, and was ordered by our village leaders to review with his family all of the possible escape routes out of Andria. We all knew that we could not hope to match the weaponry our enemies possessed, but we all did our part to make our village as ‘unfriendly’ to our enemies as possible. We dug stake pits and disguised them, making certain our people knew where they were. We raised heavy logs into the trees, where they could be dropped onto our enemies. We constructed piles of large rocks on the hillsides around our village, being held in place by hidden barriers that could be easily removed, so the rocks would tumble down on our attackers.
Elijah, Ahab, and Jezebel

May the Powerful Take the Land of the Weak?
Elijah was one of the greatest prophets in Judeo-Christian Scripture. He arrived in Biblical history during the reign of Ahab (874-853 BC) over the northern Kingdom of Israel, which had split from the Kingdom of Judah after the death of Solomon in 930 BC. Ahab, whose capital was in Samaria, was the seventh king of Israel and is described in 1 Kings 16: 30-33 as being by far the most wicked and ungodly of the seven.
“Ahab son of Omri did more evil in the eyes of the Lord than any of those before him.He not only considered it trivial to commit the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, but he also married Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and began to serve Baal and worship him.He set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he built in Samaria. Ahab also made an Asherah pole and did more to arouse the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, than did all the kings of Israel before him.”

(ORIGINALLY TITLED: A VERY TRUMP CHRISTMAS)
Written by Tony Olson, and first published by Gem State Patriot News—December 23, 2016
(Modified slightly by W. H. LAMB for The Times Examiner)
Even though the Christmas season has passed, I know that the readers of The Times Examiner, many of whom are supporters of our new President #47, Donald Trump, will appreciate the sentiments and the wit of the author, Tony Olson, who writes regularly on gemstatepatriot.com/blog. A slightly different version was published on Jan. 16, 2017 by 100percentfedup.com. I trust that you will get as much of a “chuckle” from it as I did. It was originally written upon President Trump’s FIRST election victory, so I’ve modified it a bit to bring it up to date. (whl)

“Word soon spread up and down the river that Andria village had actually attacked an Enforcer installation and had killed all 98 of the enemy in it. We all knew that this bold action would put Andria on the Overmasters’ short ‘kill list’, for they were well known for the retribution they always practiced on individuals, clans, or in this case an entire village—who dared to defy them. Two days later the Lees met with the entire village, men, women, older teens, to discuss our possibilities and course of action. Some families were so terrified of Enforcer revenge that they loaded what they could on their horse carts and left Andria quickly. A few families decided to retreat deep into the forest in hopes of hiding from the Enforcers for an extended time. But most of us, numbering about 700 people, decided by open vote to stay and fight our enemies, even though we knew there was little chance that we could continue to resist them for long.
Conclusions on Atavisms as Evidence for Universal Common Descent
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Evolutionists claim what is called atavism as evidence for universal common descent. However, the designation often presupposes universal common descent. For example, in our investigation of it, see previous articles, we have seen several cases where these features are more likely than not simply birth defects or genetic defects. Furthermore, in cases where they may actually qualify as atavisms only qualify as evidence for universal common descent if it is assumed.
Robert E. Lee — A Noble Legacy under Attack

Defamation of a Gallant Soldier, Selfless Patriot, and True Christian
January 19 will mark the 218th anniversary of the birth of Robert E. Lee in 1807, one of the most respected and revered military leaders in American history. That respect and reverence extends over most of the world, wherever military leadership is studied. Robert E. Lee’s birthday was once celebrated as an official holiday in most Southern states.
The number of holidays or commemorative days for Robert E. Lee has dropped considerably, however, in the last two decades. Only four states now commemorate Lee as an official holiday or observance: Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas. Alabama and Mississippi celebrate a combined Lee and Martin Luther King holiday, and Arkansas now has only a commemorative day, but these and others have become largely invisible in politics and the media.
