COS John Kelly gone rogue on Confederacy

This new insight by Kelly on the Confederacy reinforces a feeling that White Supremacy is now back in vogue in the highest echelons of American government, especially this Trump administration, and it will just feed in this renewed movement in White Fascism growing worldwide and, in particular, in America.

As for John Kelly, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell seems to be really onto something in his assessment of Kelly’s upbringing.

This brings me to excellent article in the Economist magazine which calls American hero-worship of the military problematic. John Kelly is not using that to go on FauxNews to add salt in the wounds of the descendants of those who continue to suffer from the repercussions of a war fought over slavery and their determination to assert their as equal citizens under the law.
