Anthem protest vs confederate flag

[Timmy]

Explain this paradox .

Many people upset over ball players silent protest during the anthem because "it's disrespectful to flag , our country , our troops".

Yet many of these far right guys are also big fans of the confederate flag . Stickers on their cars etc..

Isn't that FAR more disrespectful to our soildiers and country ? The confederates fought to destroy our country and constitution. The confederates killed more US soildiers than any enemy in history .

How can a confederate flag lover consider himself a real American?

How many OP a dozen? Here we go again with the dishonest left broad brush. Are these confederate flag fans part of the millions of American citizens Hillary says are deplorable and not even American while she defends illegals who are clearly not US citizens? You might want to get a prescription for your butt hurt OP down at the free clinic.

More flag freaks that players protesting.

A confederate flag lover is hoping for an America that is over and will never come back.

Both sides should be able to express their beliefs without being silenced.

Obviously.

its not ENTIRELY nonsense----just sorta---lots of southerners are very sentimental about everything "southern"-----I understand
that------scarlett was a delight------biscuits and gravy ----
fried chicken------big wide fluffy ball gowns. I don't like the confederate flag because of its association with slavery----but
it is ALSO A SYMBOL OF THE SOUTH----YAAAAY Dixie. The southerners should come up with a different flag -----one that would give them a warm fuzzy feeling but not hurt anyone's sensibilities

It's history and heritage and anyone letting it give them gas and the vapors needs to grow a set

it is history-----but it could be upsetting to some people----they could fix it up a little------to distance it from the concept of
slavery

You mean by fixing it up changing what history is? You can't rewrite history, it happened and should be studied for what it is, not what you wish it had been.

One of our daughters has a Crusader flag on her bike, one day some daffy old hag leftist loon just went berserk over the fact she had witnessed a Crusader flag...it's also the school mascot name....if something bothers you that much then don't look at it.

No one was disgusted by Tim Tebow. And nobody is making demands and boycotting that he stop

Why is there a statute of Albert Pike prominently displayed in Washington D.C when he was a confederate general and founder of the KKK whose leadership was built on free masonry????

 

[JakeStarkey]

Probably because of his prominence as a Freemason then and his importance to Freemasonry now.

Let's just reverse this logic if you left wingers feel baning or removing things associated with the confederacy is alright because some people find them offensive then surly you feel kneeling or sitting during the national anthem should be banned because some people find that offensive.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

The Confederate Flag represents the spirit of rebellion all over the world. As long as there is a democrat as president, the American flag can only represent weakness, fear and the worst part of segregation.

Perhaps you are completely ignorant of the fact that Confederate Soldiers are, due to US Legislation, official US Veterans.

"Section (e) of the law states “For the purpose of this section…the term 'veteran' includes a person who served in the military or naval forces of theConfederate States of America during the Civil War…” ... The first category listed is “Soldiers of the Union and Confederate Armies of the Civil "

I have no problem wh people being upset about it . It's just the hypocrisy of the right wing . They hate PC stuff like being against the confederate flag , but ok wh PC stuff like being mad at the QB.

The right can be just as politically correct .

Are they buried in Arlington.?

That was just congress making nice after the war. For the good of the country .

But they were textbook traitors . That's just a fact .
