What the Snappy Dressed Neo-Confederate should Wear for the 150th
July 17, 2009When it comes time for the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War to be marked one needs to dress the part at all the public and privte functions one attends. As I now get older, my waist line is not the same so I have been looking into purchasing a new set of trousers from my uniform and have come across some dress clothing ideas for the well dressed neo-confederate who wants to celebrate in true confederate heritage style!
All of the attire can be found here.
Yes, that is right folks, the Memorial Confederate Tartan Kilt. It is not historic in any way that I can tell, but it is registered with the Scottish National Tartan Registry. Not only is there a confederate memorial tartan color…
But a dress tartan as well…
Yep, one for around the house and one for your sunday best! Just think, you too could look this good…firing your modern musket…
What more could the neo-confederate ask for?

More: “How NOT to Honor the confederate flag”
July 17, 2009Eventhough it has only been one day since I posted about how not to honor the confederate flag, I have found a few more instances of HOW NOT to honor the confederate flag that just baffle my understanding of how neo-confederates can complain about their heritage being violated and still display one of their sacred images in such a way.
Nothing like using it as a hood ornament on the old RV!
You can always turn a very nice period reenactment photo into a farb fest with your rebel flag coat!
And finally when the size of your “guns” forever prevent the wearing of sleaves, get a rebel flag tattoo…nothing says heritage like gettin’ inked!

Irony!

I find it very ironic that this group of confederate reenactors would have their picture made standing on or near a SHERMAN tank! But hey, most things confederate reenactors, sympathizers and neo-confederates do are a mystery to me.
Reenacting Treason!
February 17, 2008
Here we have the descendants of Howell Cobb and Jefferson Davis reenacting Davis’ swearing in as the President of the Confederacy. Now I am sure there are those who will have much to say about the title…Treason, you say? Yep, I believe it was treason as did many contemporary Ameicans.
This goes to show that we Americans will reenact just about anything. I wonder what kind of neo-confederate turnout would be expected if blacks wanted to reenact the end of the Selma to Montgomery March? I am sure the Internet would be full of calls for a good olde down south “Flagg’n”!
Here is the link to the story.
