Is the SCV Pro-Confederate? You Betcha!! Are They Neo? Georgia, Statues, the House, SPLC and Soybeans

JUNE 28, 2021

**  Revealed:  neo-Confederate group includes military officers and politicians.  (The Guardian.  They are calling the Sons of Confederate Veterans group neo-Confederate.  No kidding.  Their ancestors fought for the Confederacy.  That is the only way you can become a member.  Now, I realize calling SCV neo-Confederates is akin to calling someone a neo-Nazi and puts a person in bad light, which is exactly why the ultra-left, or neo-Marxists, or whatever you want to call them, use this term.  I get tired of the other side lumping Confederates with Nazis.  Don't you?)
