Carson: Confederate flag can fly on private property

Carson: People can wave the Confederate Flag on private property - CNNPolitics.com

Ben Carson said Tuesday that he has no problem with people flying the Confederate flag -- as long as they do it on private property.

"As a general principle, people can do whatever they want on their private property -- that's one of the basic tenets of freedom in America," Carson said in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. "I am not opposed to anybody doing whatever they want to do on their private property."

I concur with Dr. Carson. What people do on their private property is their business. I don't care, nor do I need to care. Dr. Carson just had a lucid moment, I would say....

Discuss. What do you think?

Of course they may.

This isn't even an issue – Carson is preaching to the choir.

So if your next door neighbor decided to fly a Swastika Flag on his property, you'd be totally cool with that?

Why not. Hitler was a Progressive Founding Father

Any American knows that goes without saying.

no. but they'd have the right to do it, wouldn't they?

why is carson even raising this issue? it's not like anyone is claiming otherwise. typical rightwingnuttery.... make up a non-issue and run with it as if you're taking a stand.

I wouldn't like it, but are you implying it should be illegal ?

No. But I would not restrict his right to do that on his own private property.

So what would be the next flag you don't like that you want to outlaw? The "Skull and Cross Bones"? The Rainbow Flag?
Maybe some country's flag that you also don't like? Not your property, not your concern.

Because he is throwing red meat to the base.

He said it to show that as a Black Man, not all Blacks hate the Confederate Flag....

Do you think he would have said it if he were white?

 

[JoeB131]

Not in Germany, where Stat lives.

In Germany, it is illegal to fly a Swastika flag.

In America, your neighbors would probably get you to take it down, too.

So here's the question- is the Confederate Flag really the moral equivlent of the Swastika. A lot of blacks who aren't Uncle Toms like Ben Carson say, yes.

Damn Joe...you get more confused every day.

Comparing the swastika to the Confederate flag, is what a fool does.

Yes. I think it should be illegal. I also think displaying the Stars and Bars should be illegal.

Go back to the LIbertarian Kiddy Table... The Grown-ups are talking.

Of course it's the same.

Anyone could find any flag offensive.
Where do you draw the line?

Well, Uncle Tom is worried. Republicans like a self-loathing woman more than a self-loathing black man, it turns out.

Where the flag represents something that is truly offensive.

The Stars and Bars and the Swastika clearly fall into that category.
