Alabama-Jefferson Davis To Be Re-Inaugurated As President of Confederacy -Wonkette
It’s been over 146 years since the Confederacy ceased to exist. But it’s been exactly 150 years since Jefferson Davis was inaugurated president of the thing in Alabama, and, boy, doesn’t it seem like that latter one was just yesterday? Tomorrow, the Sons of Confederate Veterans (Sons? How old are they? 135?) are descending on the Alabama State Capitol in Montgomery to inaugurate a person dressed up as Jefferson Davis as the president of slavery, just like they did back then. Huzzah! It won’t be hard for them, because the state of Alabama is making way for this festive event to happen, and there’s even a bronze star on the steps of the Capitol where he was sworn in! Oh, and there’s a “pre-inauguration” event at the Embassy Suites tonight: “Kracker Dan will provide
the entertainment for the evening as the Division welcomes everyone to Montgomery!”

There’s no description of who will play Jefferson Davis, but we hope it’s a Jefferson Davis furry, and we hope there’s a lot of bondage. Slavery bondage.

More.... they even talk about his honor guard

1. The people that experienced the War Between the states are all
DEAD! It's over. Only idiots would want to celebrate the rise of racism and slavery.

2. We need an amendment that allows us to kick states out of the union.
Or at least round up the morons that attend events like this and strip them of their citizenship. Fucking douchebags!

3. During the celebration of the event,
a Robert E. Lee look-alike will be stripped naked and suspended from his body piercings.

So, anyway, about eighty years after the Constitution is ratified, eighty years later, the slaves are freed. Not so you’d really notice it, of course. Just sort of on paper. And that was, of course, during the Civil War. Now, there’s another phrase I dearly love. That is a true oxymoron if I’ve ever heard one: civil war. Do you think any country could really have a civil war? “Say, pardon me” (gun shots) ”I’m awfully sorry. I’m awfully sorry.”

Now, of course, the Civil War has been over for about 120 years, but not so you’d really notice it, because we still have these people called Civil War buffs, people who thought it was a really keen war, and they study the battles carefully, and they try to improve on the strategies and the tactics to increase the body count, in case we have to go through it again sometime. In fact, some of these people actually get dressed up in uniform once a year and go out and refight these battles.

You know what I say? Use live ammunition, assholes, would you please? You might just raise the intelligence level of the American gene pool.

5. If they disinterred the remains of Jeff Davis and propped them up for people to ogle at...
THEN it would be interesting. Otherwise, this 're-inauguration' is ridiculous.

6. That's fine...IF the people doing so renounce their USA citizenship...
...and prompty leave the country.
