Are The tea Party pro-Southern Confederacy leaders planning for or hoping for A violent Second Civil War in America to return America to the "status quo" of White Supremacy ???

Dan Gonzales, who Chairs the Constitution Party in Florida, asserted that "this is the end of America right here," and if the Tea Partiers "don't get to work we're going to be fighting in the streets."
He was not particularly kind to the Republican party either, claiming they were owned by the Rockefeller family.

It is insulting not just to President Obama but to all African Americans to celebrate the infamous Confederacy. The issue is that these Pro-confederate conservatives want to minimize the impact of slavery and racism in America. To celebrate the Confederacy is to be dismissive not just of slavery but also of over a hundred plus years of segregation, the denial of equal rights to African Americans, and to be dismissive of the racist history of the South including the establishment of the Ku Klux Klan and the legality of lynchings which took the lives of thousands of African-Americans. We must remember that segregation was not ended in the South until the mid 1960s and even then many institutions and municipalities continued to enforce segregation . For instance Jerry Falwell and others kept their schools and colleges all white into the 1980s.
What Pat Buchanan and other apologist for the South claim is that slavery was not that big of a deal or that it happened long ago and African-Americans have nothing to gripe about once slavery was ended . But this is to deny the racist history of America since the time of the Civil War including segregation, Jim Crow and the Lynch mobs & the KKK. It also is an attempt to gloss over the racism in contemporary America in which people of color in America are still treated as second class citizens. It is a further attack on Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement which many conservatives then and now believe was unnecessary and was a plot or conspiracy against White America. This is the essence of racism in America.
We also have to note the context of having a Celebratory Confederacy Month when there is a black man in the White House. What it then appears to be in part is pushback against President Obama and the struggle for equality for African-Americans and all other non-white Americans. The Tea Party movement has a substantial racist component. It becomes clearer what some members of the Tea Partying Republicans and their Patriot Movement & Militia Movement are riled up about is that they believe that White male Americans are fearful of losing their strangle hold over America.
Former Rep. Tancredo: Send Obama Back To Kenya! by Jillian Rayfield via TPM Muckraker,April 19, 2010
A Tea Party rally in Greenville, South Carolina over the weekend took some of the Tea Party's violent rhetoric to new levels, with speakers attacking everything from President Obama's citizenship to Sen. Lindsey Graham's sexuality.
The event was hosted by the Upcountry Conservative Coalition, a local South Carolina conservative group that describes its mission statement as:
We the People...are coalescing to reclaim our God given rights by restoring our Constitutional Republic.
The event took place at the Bi-Lo Center in Greenville, and featured former Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) as its keynote speaker. Tancredo, who ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008, said that Americans are "going to have to pray that we can hold on to this country."
He added, referring to President Obama: "If his wife says Kenya is his homeland, why don't we just send him back?"
Pastor Stan Craig, of the Choice Hills Baptist Church, was particularly angry about the state of Washington, saying he "was trained to defend the liberties of this nation." He declared that he was prepared to "suit up, get my gun, go to Washington, and do what they trained me to do."
