Dixie Dave's is coming to Parsons WV
Our business licenses have been refiled and should be arriving shortly with our new address on them.
We'll always carry the Confederate merchandise you know and love us for but we're phasing in all things redneck, hillbilly, and blue collar to soon join them on our shelves.
We're also looking at ways to possibly brand our own merchandise allowing us to put to good use our Dixie Dave's name and work on establishing a bit of brand recognition.
Following our store opening in Parsons we'll be reworking our online shop pages and moving things around a bit so that we can add more inventory, new categories, and better functionality for our customers.
We're here, we're growing, and whether you like us or not we really don't give a damn. Since our inception we've been severely lacking in our efforts to be politically correct in that we don't put forth any at all. We're here simply to be a redneck retail company not to babysit you, not to look lovingly into your eyes and tell you what you want to hear, and not to bend over backwards to make you feel good about yourself.

Mt. Storm WV vending show locked in for May 28th 2016
We've once again been invited to do the Mt. Storm vending show by our friends at the Mt. Storm VFD we had a blast setting this one up last year and can't wait to see everyone again this year.
With our Parsons location set to open in just a few weeks we'll be traveling on weekends all over the state of West Virginia doing different events and shows as a part of our business plans introducing Dixie Dave's to the masses.
I also have some great announcements for the future of our little company that will start coming out after we open our doors one step at a time as they are put in effect.
The Parson WV retail location renovations
For a while now we've been working on renovating our first brick and mortar store location in Parsons WV. These videos will show you step by step just what we've been up to lately from cleaning to completion.

A history lesson.
I've been asked several times why I feel the need to support, fly, and sell Confederate flags and usually I shrug it off. You asked so here now is my response.
I choose to because i'm an educated man who knows history and a part of that history is as follows.
SC seceded from the union in 1860 fearing Lincolns election would mean increased taxes and a lack of representation towards the south as Lincoln had not made a single southern friend or contact in his entire political career. In 1861 after a year of Lincoln doing almost nothing to rectify the situation with SC or attempting to contact the South other states joined the secession and together formed the CSA.
When Lincoln was faced with the decision of what to do his general advised him of 3 alternative choices either recognize the CSA as an independent nation, try to peacefully bring them back to the union, or force them back in which would take over 300,000 troops and a budget of 250 million dollars (roughly the entire national budget at the time) to fight the then only 7 states that made up the CSA.
Lincoln who had made it clear during the Lincoln Douglas debates that he had no plans to free any slaves decided to try to bring the South back to the union peacefully and knowing they relied on slavery (as did much of the country at that time) did so by offering them a 13th amendment declaring that slavery would be permanent and up to each state to decide free from federal challenge. It was passed on a national level (the house and senate), was ratified by a few states with the needed 2/3 votes, and in all likely hood would have passed the rest by the required 2/3 vote had it not been for the outbreak of war.
Lincoln a man who had publicly condoned slavery his entire career reluctantly signed the emancipation proclamation to sour the public opinion of the war both domestically and abroad particularly in England and France both of which had growing public sentiment to join the war and officially recognize the CSA as it's own nation despite politically denying any plans to do so.
If you look at Lincoln and read his own words you'll see a man who condoned slavery and then suddenly did a 180 with a self described "war measure".
The North and South both wanted slaves as it was free labor and had it not been for the civil war both sides would have kept them in my mind right up until the industrialization of the country modernized and automated American infrastructure to the point of not needing them.
I find it amazing that people choose to condemn a flag that existed for such a small amount of time and make it in their eyes stand for the entirety of all US slavery.
