All board members should be aware of the politically correct pinheads operating in the city of Mobile, Ala.
The Nov. 13, 2001 edition of the Birmingham News contains a photograph of a Sons of Confederate Veterans member being strong armed by two of Mobiles' finest. His crime?? Waving a Confederate flag at a Veterans Day parade.

While his arrest, barring other mitigating factors, is blatantly a violation of his right to free speech, it raises broader questions. Are not Confederate soldiers considered veterans? Doesn't the Federal Government recognize them as veterans by vitrtue of supplying them with tombstones through the V.A.? I know we should steer clear of political statements on this board, but if we do not stop this "political correctness" now, this board may soon be ruled illegal.

If you are incensed enough to do something about this abuse of power contact your nearest S.C.V. camp and donate money to the legal defense fund maintained by the S.C.V.
