Entry: Our Pug's Blackballs Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/our_pugs_blackballs#10957 Post contents: Ah, Mr. Nucci, thank you for that remark. Indeed, the Sons of Confederate Veterans tends to be one of the few "ultra" groups in the US of A. I have the privilege of knowing that two of my great-grandfathers refused to take the Oath of Allegiance at the end of "the late unpleasantness." Sorta like my good friends from the Vendee who, when the "doctrinaires" took power in France in 1830, simply retired to their estates and their remained...'til this day. And my Carlist friends in the old Regencia Nacional de Estella who refused to recognize Genl. Franco because he would not restore the traditional monarchy: those folks remind me, in some analogous way, of some of my fellow Southerners. Perhaps there should be a club for those of us who simply refuse to go along...with modernity, etc. Sent at: 2008 07 20
