Southern Nationalists Demonstrate in Augusta

This Sunday, another Southern patriot and myself decided on the spur of the moment to do a little mini-demonstration and try to generate some good will for our symbols here in the local Aiken, SC – Augusta, GA area. We met on the Jefferson Davis Memorial Bridge (commonly referred to as the “Fifth Street Bridge”) and braved 100 degree heat to fly the colours and wave to passers-by. The response was nearly entirely positive. The vast majority of people, Black, White and Hispanic, waved back to us. Many folks gave us thumbs up and some enthusiastically honked their horns and shouted praise. One man in a van with New York plates stuck his hand out the window and gave us a very energetic thumbs up. In fact, he passed by a little later and again cheered us on! Several folks who were enjoying the afternoon on boats on the Savannah River below us shouted up their approval or wave and gave us thumbs up. In an hour and forty minutes we had only three negative responses. Two less than civilised people yelled profanities at us and one driver flipped us the middle finger. But all in all it was a fun time and we were very happy at the positive feedback from the people. We showed that as few as two patriots can get together, show the colours and rally a little good will for our symbols and our cause. It seems that the Confederate colours are still very popular in our part of Dixie!

Many more small protests such as these will be taking place in the near future in the Aiken-Augusta area. If you would like to join us, you are certainly welcome! We’d love to have you.
