Supporting James for governor
Dear editor,
In the mid-1990s I sat on the curb in front of J.R’s air-cooled engine repair on Battle Street in Talladega, waiting to broadcast the Talladega Christmas Parade on WNUZ Radio.
A black SUV parked beside the Big Spring Monument, and out stepped the grand marshall of the parade, Gov. Fob James. The governor walked over and sat down on the curb beside me and waited for the parade to begin. That was the beginning of a common man and the governor of our state
forming a lasting bond.
I don’t think Tim James is a carbon copy of his father. I do think the father stands up in the son!
That’s not what makes me support Tim James for governor of Alabama.
I feel Tim James speaks about and supports issues that need to be faced in the state.
It’s not about defeating Joe Biden or Trump or promoting the gay community.
It’s about when one says they have conservative values… they should be adhering to the basics of Biblical teaching!
Sincerely,
Don Stephens
Childersburg, Alabama
It was taxes, not slavery, said Abraham Lincoln
Dear Editor:
April is Confederate History Month as proclaimed by the governor and Alabama Board of Education. Monday, April 25, is Confederate Memorial Day Holiday.
If Russia’s invasion succeeds, the children in Ukraine will be taught Russia’s version of the war and not Ukraine’s.
The same happened to the Confederate States of America, whose true version of Lincoln’s Tax War is suppressed by the Wall Street billionaires, who own most of the media and government.
Over 150 years after Lincoln declared a war over taxes only and not slavery at all, these billionaires continue to divide Black and White Christians with their lie about a “war over slavery.” Divide and conquer is how they control the people of this world.
Nevertheless, Christians believe that “Love rejoices with the truth.” (I Corinthians 13:6)
March 4, 1861, Lincoln declared in his “First Inaugural Address:”
“I have no purpose to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists, and I have no inclination to do so.” (Paragraph 4)
“The power confided to me will be used to collect the duties (tariffs) and import taxes; but beyond what may be necessary for these objects, there will be no invasion.” (Paragraph 21)
There is no proof of Lincoln (the only person to declare war) stating his war was over slavery, not even in his fake “Emancipation Proclamations.” Lincoln’s proclamations exempted a million slaves under his control from being freed, including General U.S. Grant’s four slaves.
Slavery was NOT abolished, just the name changed to “sharecropper.”
Sincerely,
Roger K. Broxton, president of Confederate Heritage Fund
