Uglier Than Homemade Sin

Wisconsin –-(Ammoland.com)-  I was freshly in from the cold rainy highlands of Scotland enjoying a hot Virginia summer day at the Little Creek, US Navy base swimming pool.

I was all of eleven years old and trying to talk to a girl also swimming at the base pool. As we spoke her better looking friend swam up and yelled at me for trying to speak to the lesser attractive of the two.

I do not know what the pretty one’s problem was, but when she announced that “I was uglier than homemade sin” I understood the conversation was over.

I am from Iowa, but between my father’s Navy career, my Air Force career and my wife’s Air Force career I have lived approximately one third of my live in the south. Studying history in junior high and high school in Virginia and South Carolina meant learning revisionist southern Civil War history.

They see the outcome of the Civil War differently than does the North, and the revisionist take on the war has changed much of how large parts of this Nation views that conflict. Hollywood and TV has helped that pro-southern philosophy along.

The issue of the confederate Stars & Bars flag has been in my life since I first moved to Virginia in 1963 from Yankee-land Northern Illinois. One side claims it is heritage, and one side claims it is about hate. On both my maternal and paternal sides of my family I have members who fought for the Union and the confederate side.

In fact in sheer numbers more of my family fought for the south than the north. I have tried to stay away from the heritage vs. hate argument. You just cannot win that argument from either direction.

I am a retired field grade Air Force officer who swore to defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies foreign and domestic. My approach is; the confederate flag represents the worst, most deadly attack on the Constitution of the United States that the Union was able to prevail from. Then there is the argument about State’s rights and that each State should be able to decide how they “used the law” to justify slavery.

Lets us step back from the heritage, hate, or the attack on the Constitution points of view, and concentrate on that fine southern phrase “uglier than homemade sin” and what that might have to do with slavery and sex.

“You are the ugliest little white boy in all the State of Mississippi. You were so ugly your momma had to tie a pork chop around your neck to get the dog to play with you when you were a child. It is so bad for you, that as you come into your manhood, the worst looking, grossest white trash female below the Mason-Dixon line will not look your way without laughing. But not to worry ugly-boy, you live in the Antebellum south. All that money you saved not having to spend on trying to date southern Bells has added up. Now you can buy yourself a slave girl of your very own.”

Approximately 70% of Black Americans have white DNA. This is not because the USA so openly embraced inter-racial marriage. The math would suggest that many little slave girls were the forced sexual partners of white male slave owners.

Black women suffered the most under slavery in this Nation. State’s rights were first and foremost about the massive economy of the slave business (money—it always goes to money), but it was also about sex. If you own them, and they had to do whatever you tell them, then you can truly be “uglier than homemade sin” and still be a “man,” and all that that implies.

Fast forward to a time of a modern major crisis, when the only two thing of true value are food and firearms (ammo actually), sadly in a total social breakdown women become a commodity.

This is not meant to be a joke in any way. Men be prepared to defend and protect the women in your life. Women do not sit back and expect this protection by your men to always happen. The first thing evil does is separate the men from the women. It happens in all races and all cultures in time of chaos.

Look at the abuse of women in WWII, the Balkans in the 1990s, South East Asia in the 1970s and Africa with the Boko Haram stealing young women to make them sex slaves, using their religion as a de facto states-rights to subjugate, enslave and sexually abuse for their “cause.”

Do you see the comparison? Mao Zedong stated “power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” Women remember this when evil tries to invade your life. You must be ready to stand and defend yourself, expect no one else to do this for you and you will be better prepared.

There is greater safety in numbers, but always know the limitations of the people in your inner circle. They can and will fail you. When in doubt, always buy more fresh ammo.

Clark Kent I’d bet that someone in your life has Died in the past. There memories are behind you, GET OVER THEN, it is history. NO, they are your memories RIGHT. Will the War Between the States are part of our memories and HELL NO WE WONT GET OVER IT. Your Sir are such a a TROLL

Wow! Some folks have WAY too much time on their hands. The South lost the Civil War a long time ago; get over it and move on….

Below is the Preamble to the Declaration of independence. Only in England would John Hancock be considered a villain and a traitor. History, Major, is written by men who hang heroes. Sometimes what one person calls Historical Revision is “setting it strait” to another. Long Live the South !!! ———————————————————————————————————————————————– When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them,… Read more »

Maj. Harl, First off – I agree totally about your primary topic of women becoming essentially “goods” in times of great civil strife (or even in “normal” times, when in areas where the law is ineffective for one reason or another). I suspect the veneer of civilization we normally see all around us, is actually very thin, and easily disrupted whenever there is little organized civil order being enforced (and I DO mean enFORCED!). On your brief digression into the underpinning of the Civil War however, I (also a Northerner by birth, a military brat, and a Viet Nam veteran),… Read more »

Well said sir….

Mamalukino

It has been stated numerous times; your article is riddled with BS with regards to the facts pertaining to the Civil War.

In a SHTF environment, civilization will be displaced; be prepared.

The Confederate Flag,Southern heritage is here to stay. The ‘War between the States’ was started by an obnoxious,arrogant federal Government that thought they could control the South through intimidation and threats ! I think the U.S. found out real quick those tactics just won’t work in the South,then or now ! Do the Yankee politicians,negroes,and liberals think removing a few flags and monuments is going to change anything ? It won’t,they know that. Firearms,flags are both inanimate objects that had no part in that kid shooting those 9 blacks.Are we going to continue to mollycoddle negroes by changing the MS.… Read more »

What the heck kind of article is this? Is it about prepping or just another opportunity to try to brainwash the ill informed into thinking that the War of Aggression was to free the poor slaves from the evil Southerners? I totally agree that in a EOTWAWKI senareo people will be held and sold as slaves. As for the the war being unconstitutional It Was! I believe the point of leaving the union was discussed during the Aticles of Confederation. THe founding fathers agreed that if it came down to it a State could leave the Union. Think about it… Read more »

People didn’t starve for four years, fight wearing little more than rags, and leave bloody footprints in the snow while doing so to support the institution of slavery, particularly when the great majority didn’t own slaves.
They were fighting to prevent dictatorial rule to by an all-powerful central government, but to secure government as prescribed by the Constitution. They lost! Therefore we are ruled today by an all-powerful central government.

“We have dissolved the late Union chiefly because of the negro quarrel.” Robert Hardy Smith, Alabaman politician 1861. Seems pretty clear the Confederacy was all about slavery. If you have more questions please consult the Confederate Constitution.

I see the issue as being primarily civil liberties. The anti-flag people are attackingr the symbolic speech incorporated in the flag. I support leaving the flag where it usually flew to affirm my support for the First Amendment and my veneration of the Constitution. The anti-flag people are displaying the same intolerance for symbols as the murderer in Charleston. They are equally despicable people. I do not own any Confederate flags or clothes nor am I inclined to hunt up some on the Internet. If I did have some, I’d display it as a way of saying F___You to the… Read more »

A perfect example of how the world that surrounds you will turn and devour you without notice.

My take on this is this, if the war of northern aggression was about slavery what the hell took so Lincoln so long to say this. The war of northern aggression started in April 1861 and the emancipation proclamation was announced in 1863, 20 months after the war had begun. I think the north was having problems with troop recruitment and had to do something to justify what they had gotten their butts into. Viola, a moral reason. Oh please quit saying civil war, a civil war is the people of one country fighting each other, the South was a… Read more »

Very disappointing article. Sad to see you jumping on the “hate the south”, “hate the Confederate flag” bandwagon. It disgusts me to witness otherwise intelligent people, for whom three weeks ago the Confederate flag was acceptable, suddenly lurch, like someone being jolted by an electric shock, to the left and claim offense at “that terrible and dirty symbol of pure, distilled hate”. I have lost respect for you and for your opinion. You have done yourself a great disservice in voicing this phony, contrived “opinion” of yours. You should learn to think for yourself, rather than allow yourself to be… Read more »

Major Hart If the south so disturbs you go the HELL back to where ever came from I really think the South will be much better off And Sir you are not the only one the serve this country., quite trying to wave that in our face. Big deal you were a field grade officer. I was a field grade NCO your status does not make you better than anybody else in this USA. This is the problem with America We are ALL CREATED EQUAL IN GODS EYES If you don’t like the area go back North

I am disheartened by the description of making females a marketable commodity. Not because it’s false, but because it is sadly true. However, I disagree with your characterization of the Civil War. Let’s leave ‘legal” out of the argument for a moment – since all law must be morally based, let’s look at the moral basis. If secession was immoral, then out fight to leave England was also immoral – hence, the laws passed by the immorally created USA could not be morally binding. The South was trying to do just what the Colonies had done less than 100 years… Read more »

I appreciate the sentiments in your piece, however please be aware your reference to the “Stars and Bars” is erroneous, the link shows pictures of the Confederate Navy Jack and of the (later adopted) Confederate Battle Flag. The “Stars and Bars” is the first flag of The Confederacy, and consisted of 3 horizontal stripes (red/white/red), and a blue quadrant, top left, with a differing number of stars, depending on the number of States that had joined the Confederacy. Your reference to “revisionist history” is disturbing, after all these years the truth is coming out, and it ain’t nothin’ like the… Read more »

Maj. Harl, I, too, am a retired field grade officer. I took the same oath as you. The point which you are attempting to make is a good one, but your route to the point was illogical. When I ran up against your attempt to justify your obvious disgust for the Southeastern part of the US by insinuating that the so-called Civil War was unconstitutional, it was like hitting a speed bump in the middle of an interstate highway. Just where in our Constitution does it say that a state or state may not withdraw from the Union of States?… Read more »

“Confederate flag represents the worse, most deadly attack on the Constitution…” with respect for your service, Sir, you are completely, 100% wrong. Indeed, it was the South that fought for our Constitution, the one given and intended by our Founders. For the North, it was all about money! That’s it in a nutshell. If you are interested in reading some actual history, hardly revisionist, and unreconstructed, I invite you to read, “Lincoln Takes Command,” by Prof Emeritus John Shipley Tilley, published 1941. The War of Northern Aggression was exactly that, with Lincoln fomenting the entire late unpleasantries as payback to… Read more »

This “field grade air force officer” is typical of the leftists that fill most officer ranks, considering that his military rank has absolutely NOTHING to do with intelligence or knowledge, I find it pathetic and revolting how they use it as some kind of badge of courage. Noting that this idiot is also from Iowa, one of the most Leftist POS cesspools in this country, it is no wonder that he has the view of the south that he has. He also has absolutely zero understanding of the Constitution, or he would KNOW that the civil war was the southern… Read more »
