We at ABE Ministry screech the Rebel Yell at the TV or Radio every time we hear any Yankee * - Yes, Virginia, Obama and Hilary are Yankees - telling us what to think or what to say.
Try it, it is emotionally cathartic and it lets family, friends, and neighbors know where you heart is - in the intellectual heart of Dixie, the last redoubt of American political liberty and, yes, it survives to this very day in men's memory.
Go to 2:00 to hear what a real Confederate soldier sounded like. Now, imagine hearing another 1000 like him charging across a field shrieking this:
Go to 2:50 to hear and learn the three cadence Rebel Yell
* The great Clyde Wilson on Yankees;
By Yankee I do not mean everybody from north of the Potomac and Ohio. Lots of them have always been good folks. I am using the term historically to designate that peculiar ethnic group descended from New Englanders, who can be easily recognized by their arrogance, hypocrisy, greed, and lack of congeniality, for ordering other people around. Puritans long ago abandoned anything that might be good in their religion but have never given up the notion that they are the chosen saints whose mission is to make America, and the world, into the perfection of their own image.
Hillary Rodham Clinton, raised a Northern Methodist in Chicago, is a museum-quality specimen of the Yankee – self-righteous, ruthless, and self-aggrandizing. Northern Methodism and Chicago were both, in their formative periods, hotbeds of abolitionist, high tariff Black Republicanism. The Yankee temperament, it should be noted, makes a neat fit with the Stalinism that was brought into the Deep North by later immigrants.
