Jefferson Davis: Remembrance & Recognition

Me Real President!  bizarro-superman.JPG

A touching feature each President’s Day is efforts by our nation’s cracker remnants to attach Confederate President Jefferson Davis to the ranks of actual presidents.

lincoln-davis-vicksburg.jpg Davis is equated to the real deal in this Bizarro World parallel universe, including fellow Kentuckian Abraham Lincoln.  Jolly Confederate clowns wish Davis “Our first and only president…so far” a Happy President’s Day, and weep bitter tears over “One of the great American Presidents, overlooked each year.

Not some places.  The New York Times reviewer of HBO’s “Eastbound & Bounddiscovered to their amazement that the series’ “Jefferson Davis Middle School” wasn’t a joke.  He adorns schools across the South.

The Georgia state park marking Davis’s capture by Union troops assures us that   “On Presidents Day, rangers will offer guided tours to all visitors,” and apples4theteacher thoughtfully amends their Lincoln coloring pages with smiling Jeff Davis. davis-jefferson.gif

That’s The Way God Planned It davis-wrecked.jpg

Tuesday is your day, Donald Trump and other fans of slavery nostalgia!

It’s the gala reopening of Beauvoir, home of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, largely destroyed by politically correct Hurricane Katrina. The accompanying “Presidential Library” was wiped out completely by the avenging wind.

Small compensation for New Orleans, but we Americans are an optimistic people.

Tuesday will also be Davis’s 200th birthday., encouraging the warm feelings of confederate nostalgists towards the traitor. Promoters of the “”Other President” walk a careful but familiar line, lamenting the tragic war between brothers without ever quite explaining what it was about*

Beauvoir’s special day will be marked with flags, speeches, several more speeches, and countless men in itchy wool uniforms. Some sense of decorum is being observed however. The program ask that:

 

“All re-enactors please use back gate entrance.”

 

 

*slavery!

Lost Leaders

Your Washington Times continues to perform magnificently as the daily diary of the Confederate Dream. Their latest is an esquisitly detailed roundup on all the festivities unfolding in this, the Jefferson Davis Bicentennial Year.

The creepy efforts to ape real President’s commemorations will be at full force in 2008. There appear to be at least two reenactments of Davis’s swearing in as secessionist President, and strained efforts to tie Davis to Black History Month have been presented with a straight face. The festive schedule will climax with the the reopening of the Davis Beauvoir home in Gulfport Mississippi, the “Mount Vernon of the Confederacy.”

The neighboring Davis “Presidential Library” was flattened. davis-library.jpg

Its all being rebuilt at a cost of $20 million, provided in part by serial bankrupt Donald Trump and the federal government, over the objections of the NAACP.

But for all this, the first Davis oath reenactment attracted a few hundred. The post-Katrina relaunch of Beauvoir was so sparsely attended they used odd cropping to hide the size of the crowd. davis-dedication-side.jpg

The Lost Cause appears to be getting loster.
