Ed Sebesta unveils his Anti-Confederate flag
Behold:
Gotta hand it to Ed Sebesta. With the creation of his copyrighted "Anti-Confederate" flag, he has clearly reached new heights of -- something. Here's his post unveiling this latest creation. Visitors will agree this is exactly the kind of work we've come to expect from one of the left's most prolific and creative minds.
In the post, Sebesta lists his seven criteria for designing flags, then congratulates himself for having met all of them. Problem is, he forgot Flag Design Rule Number One, which says, "Do not create a design that induces migraines." Can you imagine this thing undulating in the wind? It would send hundreds into seizures, stunt the growth of livestock, and probably bring down small aircraft.
If you do visit Sebesta's site, you'll see that no comments are allowed. That prevents facts from getting in the way of the anti-white, anti-Southern dogma he writes.
But back to the "Anti-Confederate Flag." My secret spy at the Crawfish Compound sent me the drawing that Sebesta based his flag on. I'm not saying he copied it, but let's just say there may be some copyright infringement issues he needs to work out with the estate of Charles Schultz:

I don't know much about Ed Sebesta, just what I've read on your blog, but… does he ever change the subject? I've noticed this about people who hate the (white) south -- they are consumed to the point that if the south disappeared tomorrow, they would shrivel up and die. Life would no longer have meaning. (And what is a neo-confederate? Is that a term he made up? Is it meant as a joke?)
Yes, they are so superior, their hearts and pants swell with pride when they consider their superiority.
Here is a fact that enrages them: the Confederate battle flag is loved all over the world and is the most recognized symbol of resistance to tyranny, and the Sebestas have a hard time with that. Poor babies. They dedicate their entire lives to passing laws and sending petitions and designing flags with the ultimate goal of stamping out forever anything southern, especially the flag. But, yikes! What are they gonna do about France? Germany? Russia? Turkey? Spain? And every other country where people love the battle flag second only to their own?
It looks like something a circus clown would wear as pants. I never cared much for the Klan or followed re-enactments but lately I'm trying to understand what led up to 1860 compared to our current bout of public secessionary discussions. I'm displaying the Bonnie Blue in my cubicle but out of direct view. Granted no one in my company here in Tampa knows what it is, being nearly all rootless Yankees, but I wonder what legal stance I would have to keep it. Can it be targeted "ad hoc" as offensive? I never heard of the Klan using it. Other than management edict, can one party make the same argument about it as they do the stars & bars?
Anonymous1,
"Consumed" is pretty descriptive. No, he doesn't change the subject. Anything he hates is branded as "Neo-Confederate."
Just because he comes off as a joke doesn't mean he intends to be funny.
Anon2,
It's gratifying how the increasing talk about self-determination is fueling new interest in the creation of the Confederacy -- the more you know about one, the more you want to learn about the other.
Here's a good introduction to the right of secession. Walter Williams also touches on the legal and Constitutional basis of Southern secession.
Finally, this piece looks at the primary issues that led to Southern secession in 1860-61.

Well, the Department of Homeland Security, fueled by SPLC propaganda, has already condemned Ron Paul supporters, and those who fly the Gadsden flag as terror threats.
The Bonnie Blue, or anything hinting at resistance to the Empire, will be similarly denounced as treasonous, racist, and extremist.
Anon @12:54, do a google image search on "ku klux klan american flag." They march with the American flag more than the Confederate. (Is it true that for every klansman there are 3 gov agents?)
Since the Klan used the neo-American flag so often, they are racist and should die.
Ed Sebesta: So bizarre. Really, what HAPPENED to that guy?
That thing is absolutely nauseating (for more than one reason) I know the last few creaky Klan members like to wave the battle flag in the face of the much larger Black protesting group during much publicized "rallies". If you look at the pictures of the KKK in its heyday of the 1920's you will not see ONE Confederate Battle flag displayed, the only flags that are displayed are the US flag. There are far more anti White racists out there and they are far more virulent and socially accepted than any White supremist who might still be crawling around in the woodwork. The liberals are so sensitive anymore about what is and what is not racist that just about anything that a White person says is construed as having come from a racist point of view. Couple this with thin skinned Blacks and to a lesser extent Hispanics and you have a powder keg ready to go off. Some of the things that I have seen upset Blacks and get you the lable of "racist hater" would be asking them to turn down loud hip-hop noise or if you are a woman, flipping your long hair out of your face. That last one will just about get your rear kicked in some places. I wonder if he just made up that flag to try to make us all nauseated and get migranes so that we will drop our fight to keep our Battle Flag.
Snaggle-Tooth Jones,
The government schools do a fine job of teaching self-loathing to American kids.
Sad.
With adversaries like Mr. Sebesta, who needs friends?
Call me a simple foreigner who does not fully appreciate the local political conditions, but has Mr. Sebesta not just handed every secessionist candidate in every Southern state a lightning rod?
One is reminded of the opinion of several historians that for the post-Stalingrad years the strongest ally that the Allies had was Adolph Hitler, i.e. had he given his generals free reign, outcomes may have been different.
Sebastian Ronin,
I continually give thanks for the enemies we have. As long as radicals such as Bill Ayers and haters such as Jonathan Farleyshake their fists at us in blind rage, we know we're doing something right.
Old Rebel,
The Sebesta site is just a parody set up by some clowns in the SCV. They had another spoof site called Looky Here.
I mean, nobody could be that stupid.

CW,
No, he's for real. Here's a bio, which looks like a portion of the article on him that mysteriously vanished from Wikipedia.
That said, if there were no Ed Sebesta, it would be necessary for the Southern Movement to invent him. Not only is he a gold mine of loopy quotes, he illustrates perfectly the malicious mindset of those who hate the South.
Re the bio, nine times out of ten "researcher" = "career bureaucrat." I dunno if it's my eyes or what, but if you look at that flag thing there seem to be a lot of semi swastikas going on. Fold it in half horizontally and the overlay is presto!
Mr. Sebesta, are you on drugs?
Judge Chamberlain Howell,
I wondered about that after he accused Tommy Hilfiger of secretly putting Confederate designs in his clothing, and wrote that Bill Clinton was promoting "Neo-Confederacy," a term Sebesta applies to everything he dislikes.
But now I think it's his natural state.
Sebastian Ronin,
Good observation! It's like one of those Mad magazine fold-in cartoons.
Can we see a pic? Are you sure he's not the latest invention of that Borat clown?
I think this dude sees Confederate flags in his sleep or something. I will have to look up Tommy Hilfiger and the flag designs but I would not put it past anyone to say that. I remember when the canned Southern Sweet Tea came out and blacks complained that it looked like the front of a plantation or something. Gees is there anything that people will not get offended by? When looking closely at the picture the only person drawn that could have possibly been even close to black was a guy in a suit and hat.
This gets an F- in my book.
I thought homosexuals were supposed to be good at design.
Sebastian Ronin's comment about the foldover creating swastikas is a delicious irony.
Mr. Sebesta needs to get a life.
Harold Thomas,
But you know what the sad truth is?
We ARE his life.
I not Ed Sebesta, and he not welcome in glorious nation of Kazakhstan. Sexy time!!!!
Anonymous,
Ouch!
Borat,
Glorious sensations of across-ocean solidarity!
