<P><FONT color=#ff0000><FONT color=#400040 size=3>In a recent blog Doug Wilson
referred to those who criticize his understanding of the ante-bellum south
as members of the "Secularist Crimson Jihad." I find myself
grateful once again for Doug's name calling repertoire. One of
the most inspirations and dearly loved songs that I know is called "The Red
Flag" - which is, I suppose, exactly what Secularist Crimson Jihad members would
carry. </FONT></FONT></P>

play it after my sixty second slot on their weekly show - but there has never
been enough time. I furnish the lyrics below - with the hope that my
sister and brother Intoleristas will adopt it as our anthem - and that Doug, the
Dougsciples, and all the little Douggles will come to know it
well.</FONT></FONT></P>
