The theater is quieting down this morning, the anger over the persecution of our Confederate flag is getting even deeper.
CMT , which is owned by Viacom, which owns CBS part of CBS / Warner-Brothers or the CW, decided to pull the Dukes from the TV for the foreseeable future. Which means our job to find the show both in syndication to get a partner station of ours to air it, likewise , get the rights to air the DOH, on Confederate Star TV, is going to be a fever pitch. But the whole thing over one symbol?
Come on now.
33 years the General Lee , Dodge Charger, most likely the most recognized hot rod on the planet, in all nations that have a TV, that Confederate flag expressing Southern Pride and integrity and love of nation, and country, more so than some that look to inspiration from the stars and stripes.
Myself I do not salute the stars and stripes, I just salute my Dixie Flag, but I’m just me, and well the opinion is shared by the Hazzard Knytes, now speaking of the Hazzard Knytes.
There has been much controversy over the upheaval of the club since 2008. We as an entire group from Cooter on down to all of us fans and members of this club, we have some fights in our future. We need to regain some unity. So the membership council decided to put the Knytes-of-Anarchy thing on the shelf, and regain momentum through the Hazzard Knytes as we were originally created as.
I’ll be working on the art work and all, for logoing and all, but we have a duty, not only to and for ourselves but the entire Hazzard Nation.
we have a real set of battles. We need to get the series back in front of the public, CMT killed the thing, but that don’t mean that Confederate Star Television or CST could not air it, after all , Confederate star Television was created because of the Dukes of Hazzard.
The last 29 years of my life has been because of the Dukes of Hazzard, my entire vocational enterprise, from the shop, towing service motorcycle shop everything has been built on and because of that vision and foundation of the Dukes-of-Hazzard. The fact that such things as NASCAR a sport built on southern roots has been enhanced by the Dukes-of-Hazzard. The Dukes of Hazzard and in fact the General Lee that is the center of all this fuss a stock car itself, brought a more awareness of NASCAR into homes, made NASCAR mainstream, and now our flag, that has been tarnished by hate groups is being banned? Bullsbreath. Not as long as I have breath. When I needed the Dukes they were there for me, now that the General and the Dukes are in trouble from political zealots, and self righteous hey the first volley of the next civil war has been shot. I’m there for the Dukes and General Lee.
When a gal from Alma’s Facebook page said she couldn’t read these blogs, okay I lightened it up, to be better read.
There will be a meeting this weekend at Knytes Hall to plan our battle here.
This is A Knytes call to ACTION.
