The Very Word "Confederate" Is Laden With Negative Connotation

[EvilCat Breath]

Does it trigger you? Give you the shakes and the need for a safe space?

Pass the smelling salts, a snowflake heard the word "confederate".

In my readings today I came across a wonderful psalm, Psalm 83 which reads...

1. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2. For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5. For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
6. The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7. Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8. Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
9. Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10. Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
11. Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
12. Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
13. O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
14. As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
15. So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
16. Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O Lord.
17. Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
18. That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth.

It does't bode well for the future. It really doesn't.

We should have sent them back to Europe if they weren't willing to live the American way. We don't let Muslims come here and mutilate genitals so why would we allow slave owners to fly that confederate flag around. You lost. Burn the fucking flag. It's like waiving a nazi or ISIS flag.

Do you think the same about the American flag. It flew over slavery. Let's see if your consistent or a hypocrite.

The confederate flag was never a US flag. The 13 stripes represents the first 13 colonies in the US flag.

The American flag flew over slaves. Whatever you say will not change that. So if are consistent you would be against it for the same reason. But you're a hypocrite.

I read even Lee didn't want the flag. When one territory wins over another their flag is no longer flown. The confederate flag did not fly over the slaves. It was a flag made for the succession of states, and well you lost and the flag lost.
