I think most Republicans would stop flying Confederate flags if it didn't get a reaction out of the left.

So...no one alive today.
Who do we pay the reparations to?
Descendants of slaves the same way we'd pay out settlements to next of kins. This is that hard hard concept to grasp.
People who were not slaves and therefor were not harmed by being a slave?
If you robbed and murdered a man do you get to keep his shit or does that go back to his wife or children or grandchildren or closest living relative? And in what way were generations of Black Americans unharmed by chattel slavery and the inability to pass wealth and property down to their progeny?
How is this an example of government working for "us"
I get these things are against your interests, moron but they are certainly within mine.
No, it's not -- unless you believe those who did not hold slaves are responsible for the harm caused to slaves.
I believe citizens are responsible for the actions of their government. When police officers murdered Breonna Taylor in her home the citizens of Kentucky had to pay her family the largest settlement ever received by a citizen of that state despite most of them never having heard of her before let alone being responsible for firing hundreds of rounds of ammo into her home.
Problem is, you cannot present a sound argument as to how -anyone- is "owed" anything for slavery -- and you cannot present a sound argument how those who had nothing to do with slavery are responsible to pay those who are owed.
Thus, you cannot demonstrate how is this an example of government working for "us".
I doubt you could respond to any of the points I just made unless you want to attack the very notion of legal compensation.
"Democracy" is a form of government, founded on the premise that people have the right to life, liberty, property and self-determination.
Where in there is the idea that the state not just can, but should, force people to pay for the goods and services consumed by others?
In the part we all get to vote what kind of government we want genius.
Why do ou believe your outrage gives you the moral and legal authority to deny people you disagree with their right to express an opinion you does not like --- violently, if necessary?
I never said I did. I'm in favor of using Democracy and freedom of speech to criticize and mock your cuck culture until it dies of embrassment and shame.
 
So the government (who has no money) should steal money from people who didn't own slaves, and give it to people who were not slaves. Sounds fair. :rolleyes:
Moron the government is the issuer of all our money. It has however much money it wants.
 
It's clear that the "us" in his "government work for us" line does not mean ALL of us.
I don't think he's come to that realization yet.
Oh, I absolutely don't mean all of "us". Losers can lay down and take it out act up like they did at the Capitol and get smacked the fuck down.
 
Dumb is posting when you have no clue WTF you're posting about.
You're just posting talking points, not truth.
Backup you post, or you are just a troll.

And you suppose I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Then you ask me to back up opinions. If they're an opinion, they why would I need to back it up?

As for "truth", what is "the truth"?

And you've literally called 99% of this board "a troll" because almost everyone on this board refuses to back up their claims.

How am I supposed to provide evidence about how something makes someone think they're someone?

And if you need evidence that the confederacy was anti-American.... well.....
 
Descendants of slaves the same way we'd pay out settlements to next of kins.
In this case, however, you expect people who had nothign to do with slavery to payout settlements 150+ years later to people who where not enslaved. How is this governent working for "us"?
If you robbed and murdered a man do you get to keep his shit or does that go back to his wife or children or grandchildren or closest living relative?
What do I have that came from a slave?
How is a person who was not a slave entitled to what I have?
I get these things are against your interests, moron but they are certainly within mine.
You said "us"
That means everyone.
You cannot soundly explain how it is in everyone's interests for people who had nothing to do with slavery pay reparations to people who were not slaves.
I believe citizens are responsible for the actions of their government.
How does this make people who had nothing to do with slavery liable for slavery?
How is forcing them to pay benefits to people who wer enot slaves an example of government working for "us"?
I doubt you could respond to any of the points I just made unless you want to attack the very notion of legal compensation.
Its YOUR position, its up to you to defend it. So far you have failed, utterly, in that you have not soundly demonstrated how peopel who were never slaves wee harmed by slavery and how people who never had slaves owe them something for it.
And I have, quite clearly and by any yardstick, responded to all of the posts you made.
In the part we all get to vote what kind of government we want genius.
- When you have a government that forces people to pay for actions they did not take to people who were not harmed, you no longer have a government instituted to secure the people's rights to life, liberty, property and self-determination.
- When you have a government that forces people to pay for goods and services received by others w/o compensation, creating a condition of state-enforced involuntary servitude, you no longer have a government instituted to secure the people's rights to life, liberty, property and self-determination.
That is, you no longer have democracy as created in this country - you have mob rule.
So, I ask again:
Where in there is the idea that the state not just can, but should, force people to pay for the goods and services consumed by others?
I never said I did.
Oh, but you did.
You plan to "[tear] down your flag and statues and [piss] all over your history and culture" -- and there's nothing "we" can do about it.
Indeed, you believe people flying the ANV batte flag help you "draw support for tearing down your culture and its deplorable symbols"
So, I ask again:
Why do you believe your outrage gives you the moral and legal authority to deny people you disagree with their right to express an opinion you does not like --- violently, if necessary?
 
Pretending to be color blind isn't the same as not being racist. There are people interested in pretending the Confederacy didn't secede, fight and die to protect slavery and those are white. Not sure else what to tell you.
Like I said, racist accusing of others of being racist. Gotta love it ... The hypocrisy today is breath taking. That's what happens when racist try to use the past to shut down the rights of those they accuse of being racist today, and especially for just being white, then it's automatic according to CRT and the leftist/liberals who have a political agenda at play.

Pathetic.
 
I can't think of a better example of somebody doing something just to get a reaction out of snowflakes. It's the same reason they do a bunch of stuff. They just want to be disrespectful and get under your skin.
If that were true more conservatives would be flying Nazi flags
 
And you suppose I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Then you ask me to back up opinions. If they're an opinion, they why would I need to back it up?

And if you need evidence that the confederacy was anti-American.... well.....
You make statements like they are facts instead of qualifying with something like "IMHO"
Here is your post #24
"They fly it because they think it makes them something. They don't think it makes them supporters of treason and anti-American, but it's what they are."

I had to research WTF your post #207 was referencing?!
I challenged your statement, you have no clue why we fly it. So why post bullshit?
I challenge all bullshitters on this forum, we're supposed to be debating facts.

As for the Confederacy, that was in 1860, and that was a real "insurrection", by democrats who wanted to keep slavery. Flying the flag in 2021 does not support the Confederacy, duh. Its a protest flag, a battle flag against a corrupt government. Its a battle flag of rebels, but the rebels are from 2021 not 1860, duh.
Now in 2021, antifa and socialists are "anti-American", deep staters are "anti-American", the "fake news" MSM are anti-American, the corrupt FBI that falsifies FISA evidence is anti-American, criminal gangs are anti-American, pols that allow open borders are anti-American, you get the idea? We can debate who is really anti-American.
 
Got a link for that stupid post? Didn't think so.
Link to what you fucking idiot. The OP said you pieces of trash don't like the confederacy and only fly the flag to piss people off. I think he is wrong because otherwise more of you would fly Nazi flags. Fuck yourself.
 
It's clear that the "us" in his "government work for us" line does not mean ALL of us.
I don't think he's come to that realization yet.
Gotta have those worker bee's feeding the whining free loaders ya know.... You know these are the one's whom think that they can just go through life finding every kind of excuse known to man in order to extort money in some sort of bid that suggest that somehow it's going to make life all better for them.

Just like everyone else who comes into money they don't deserve, it'll be gone in the blink of their eye's. Then what will be the next stupid extortion scheme they'll come up with one wonder's ????
 
I am intrigued. Is it a fact that it is ONLY republicans who display confederate flags?
I thought that it is a SOUTHERN PRIDE thing?
Don't let face, logic and reason get in the way of a good emotional partisan rant.

Anger is a sign of defeat.
