Maine legislators recently approved a new state ballad, a task one would expect to be simple and drama-free. Alas, in the year 2019, it’s not so easy. Some Republican state lawmakers in the northeastern state were concerned that the ballad chosen cast too negative of a light on the Confederacy, according to a new report from the Maine Beacon. The song, titled “The Ballad of the 20th Maine,” tells the story of a Maine infantry regiment that fought in the Civil War, and unsurprisingly, has a pro-Union message. Two Republicans found this inappropriate. “I find it a little bit, we are united states, we are not Union, we are united states. And I find it just a little bit – I won’t say offensive but that’s what I mean – to say that we’re any better than the South was,” Republican state Rep. Frances Head said last month while discussing the song, per the Maine Beacon. Republican state Rep. Roger Reed expressed similar hesitations. “I am a lover of history and especially a lover of the civil war period and regardless of what side people fought on, they were fighting for something they truly believed in,” Reed said, according to the Beacon. “Many of them were great Christian men on both sides. They fought hard and they were fighting for states’ rights as they saw them.” -------------- -------------- South Carolina wasn't fighting for states' rights. Unfortunately the White Race lives on in the North. #SnowflakesAreWhite
Despite the many debates on the real causes of the Civil War there is no denying Slavery was a big reason for the rebellion. For someone to praise them as fighting for something they truly believed in is funny. Good people on both sides.... sounds familiar. However I do find it funny a State ballad is based on a specific time in history that really has nothing to do with the State as the Maine in fantry fighting in the Civil War is not the only thing to celebrate about Maine.
Today Donald Trump has achieved an approval rating of 51 percent. --and rising--looking good for re-election. His approval rating is now exactly the same as Hussein at the same time in his presidency.
Up until Obamacare, this was the 11th Commandment for the White Race: Thou shall not pass any law, nor create any governmental program or entity, nor elect any politician of any office that will seek to provide any form of benefit for those outside the White Race, no matter how favorable that benefit may be for the White Man. But in the midterms we saw Whitey for the Dem when their O-care was threatened. It'll be interesting to see the voting patterns in 2020 if the Whiteys perceive Trump as not one of their own.
