I think it's roughly PAST TIME for "the" South to get over the Confederate Flag.
It's not a matter of actual importance.
Yeah yeah. It has some historical significance to some of the Southern States.
So what?
That was then. Like 1860 or so.
This is now. 150 solid years since that time.
Time marches on.
And nowadays we all have REAL problems to worry about.
Yeah, and libtards say the same thing about the Constitution when they think no one will repeat it.
Not saying that YOU are a libtard, but using their form of 'logic' doesnt help your cause much.
My ancestors were from Indiana and fought against the South. One of my great-great-...uncles fought at Antietem, Fredericksburg, Chancelorsville and other battles in the Indiana 7th infantry regiment. And I do not abide secessionism these days as it is treason, IMO.
But prior to the Civil War, people swore loyalty to their state,not the Federal government, and so the Southerners were being loyal to what they had sworn loyalty to and did not commit treason. They fought for what they thought was their right to leave the political arrangement of the time, much like thier ancestors left the British empire. It was not about slavery.
This issue is important for us today because it is simply one more item on the historical revisionist agenda the left is marching for. To give in to them simply makes it easier for them to then go on to slandering the Founding Fathers, our record of conduct in war and the derision of other national heroes that have fought to defend the freedom you and I have today.
Isnt it better to argue about dead Confederate soldieres than dead American heroes?
I grew up in the South and I can promise you that I and a lot of other Southerners will never forget what those yong boys sacrificed trying to defend their homes back a century and a half ago. Nor will I ever forgive those that spit on the honor of those men for cheap political gain.
Shame on Perry and he has definately lost my vote.
REALLY????????????
If it came between Perry or Obama you would be that stupid as to vote Obama or stay home????
How much can you defend the South obsessing over a stupid flag that hasn't meant anything in 150 years.
I grew up in the South too.
The only people that obsessed over that flag were Democrats still pissed off they lost on Jim Crowe.
That's one reason I'm a Republican. I grew up seeing what the real Democrat party is like. Remember Wallace? I sure do!
I don't care about the confederate flag. I care about my country getting rid of socialists who want to change this country into Europe.
Socialists like Obama.
Who cares about the Confederate flag in the face of that.
