Rally to rename Ervay St. to Harvey Milk St. Send a message to Robert Jeffress and 1st Baptist Church

We are having a rally to change Ervay to Harvey Milk St. This is the street which runs past the infamous First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas where W.A. Criswell was pastor.

At the group page is a lot of links to historical materials pdfs which you can download and articles which you can read telling about W.A. Criswell and Robert Jeffress. 

Henry Ervay for whom the street was named was part of the invasion of Nicaragua to make it a slave state, was a Confederate officer, and later played a key role in re-establishing white supremacy in Dallas when he was part of the effort to end the multi-racial democracy of Reconstruction.

Neo-Confederates in support of Putin

It seems that neo-Confederates aren't entirely over as an issue. Thought the Confederate monuments have gone down, it seems the ideology remains.

This article by the Boston Review details the support for Putin by the conservative Americans, many of whom have joined the Orthodox Church.

She has a book coming out with Harvard Univ. Press titled, "Souching towards Moscow: American Conservatives and the Romance of Russia." It is not available for pre-order. I will order it when it becomes available. 

I have discussed Russian support for American secessionists in this blog. I have also commented on the folly of honoring treason as a potential security risk to the nation. 

The neoliberals were dismissive of the issues of the neo-Confederates, and shut me down when I suggested that Obama shouldn't send a wreath to the Arlington Confederate monument. 

I am still having my neo-Confederate studies in a care taker status. These articles occasionally appear, but it doesn't results in neo-Confederates being taken seriously. The Confederate monuments now are largely in small towns and it is just a matter of time before the Chamber of Commerces in these towns get really tired of them as to obstacles to selling the city and the support base passes away.
