If you oppose the Confederate flag you oppose the American flag too

And you thinking you can judge people that lived in a different time by todays standards is equally sickening.

You mean all those people who equate Southern Democrats of the 1950's with Democrats today?

lol

Let's face it. Southerners fought against Northern aggression and for their freedom. They were patriotic Americans sick of seeing their country going the wrong way. That's why people typically fly the Stars and Bars.
But we got over that and healed and the descendents of those Confederates went on to serve the American army and win our wars.
But those who want to censor, who want to denigrate the struggle of our Southern ancestors, who want to demonize others for holding opinions contrary to theirs are no better than jihhadis and communists, who want to ban anything contrary to their religion. They are the hater dupes of the public world.

Yo, it`s just a matter of time the Socialist will want to ban the American Flag, they can`t stand America, brainwashed!!! Let`s see if Nikki will agree with them?

so you're a moral relativist now?
those people chose to take up arms against their nation in defense of slavery. that does not make them patriots as the op would like us to believe. it makes them traitors.

Hey dumb ass, slavery was legal when the war started and there were no official moves to outlaw it at the time. In fact Lincoln said he was willing to continue to allow it if the south rejoined the union. Economics and an overbearing federal government started the war, slavery was a side issue at the time. Maybe you should learn real history instead of the leftist revisionist bullshit you seem to be buying into.

slavery and its protection were central to south carolina's declaration of secession, and secession started the war, since there would have been no shots fired without it and the subsequent theft of fort sumpter. it absolutely was not a 'side issue' and anyone claiming it was is trying to rewrite history.

Right, you mean the today's dems that are continuing the same policies instituted by the dems of the 50's, those dems. Wasn't it LBJ that said he'd have blacks voting dem for the next 200 years when he set out his new society plantation programs for them. I don't see any current dems trying to abolish those policies. In fact your current dear leader is making them more dependent than LBJ, by destroying job opportunities.

Go on, brag about dem policies that have 50% unemployment among young blacks, I dare ya.

Wrong. Nothing in the Constitution says the president has to wage war on a state that secedes. In fact, it says precisely the opposite. Waging war on the states was an act of treason.

SNIP:
Congratulations! You Oppose The Confederate Flag. Now What?
We are slowly forgetting how to oppose something without seeking its utter destruction.
By Mollie Hemingway

the General Lee or, perhaps, the one painted on RuPaul.


For some reason, 100% of media types (give or take) dealt with their feelings of anger and powerlessness in the aftermath of the racist murders of 9 black members of Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, by calling in unison for a removal of a Confederate flag from South Carolina’s capitol grounds. The flag was only put up during the centenary of the Civil War and a modified version was moved to a less conspicuous place about 15 years ago. Republican Gov. Nikki Haley called for its removal on Monday, as have many other politicians. Russell Moore of the Southern Baptist Convention called for its removal earlier. Sure, sounds good. Go for it. Even acknowledging that the relationship of the flag to the people of South Carolina is a bit more complicated than outsiders can understand, I think it’s fair to argue the negative outweighs any positive there.

A lot of the surrounding media-led outrage over the flag seems somewhat cold, given the horror of what last week brought. We had nine black people brutally murdered because they were black and sitting in a church with a history of fighting white supremacy. With all due deference to hatred for a Confederate flag on a pole at the statehouse

ALL of it here:
Congratulations You Oppose The Confederate Flag. Now What - The Federalist

 

[candycorn]

Does not matter. The liberal left have sunk their teeth into this because they believe it can be exploited for political gain and nothing is going to stop them from using it to their advantage. Candycorn is already posting threads about how Nikki Haley's career is over... she has "slit her own throat" by coming out AGAINST the flag! See how that works? If you stand up for the flag, you're a racist... if you don't, you're a political coward who is doomed. You cannot win with a liberal on this issue.

You can't win because you guys are "all or nothing" on almost every topic.

They can only view the Confederate flag as a symbol of racist hate.

Because it is.

The biggest problem I have with the "take it down" movement is... where does this all end? Are we supposed to expunge history of all things offensive now? Seems to me that is recipe for devout ignorance. We can shove our history in the closet and pretend it doesn't exist but what purpose does this ultimately serve? How do we learn anything from that? Why not, instead of becoming "offended" at the sight of the flag, take that opportunity to explain why we should be tolerant of it and respect it for what it stood for at the time? (which wasn't racism.)

Nobody is doing that. Ending State sponsorship of symbols of hate? Sure.
