Flying the Confederate battle flag - Just Don't Do It.

[oldag]

The cross and the Bible are offensive to strict Muslims. So we should ban them.

Old Glory is offensive to some Iranians and others of middle east descent (heck, to some of the French). So we should ban Old Glory.

Meat is offensive to some. We should ban meat.

Some greenies find any person's footprint on this earth (other than their own, of course) offensive. Should the entire earth's population commit suicide?

Where does it end?

Liberals would like that, they love victims, however the down side would be no one would remain to applaud liberals good fortune.

The first step to being a good Liberal is telling other people whats good for them. You need to worry about yourself...

Lots of peple taking that first on this forum.

The flag is the pride of traitors to the united States of America. Should never have been flown in the first place once the civil war was over

Traitors to tyrants are ok with me.

Well they did lose the war to the federal government that kept taking more and more powers away from the south and a U.S. Government who wanted to cripple the southern economy, so if we really want to forget that brave souls of all skin colors, religion and backgrounds fought and died against the U.S. Gov for what they believe in we should just take all the rebel flags down and thank Obama for his triumphs over our freedoms today.

Obama.


He's like the modern Lincoln.

Except he wants us all as slaves and says the n-word on the radio.

 

[Younggun]

Lincoln wanted us all as slaves as well, and I'm sure he said ****** as it was in pretty common usage at the time. Woulda had to telegraph it though, no radios.

I myself am not offended by the confederate flag, but I can understand those that are offended. Mainly has to do with how it has been used since the civil war, not during.

As for slavery, of course I am against it, but then that's my 21st century perspective. Had I been born in the 19th century I'm sure my perspective would be somewhat different. It mainly has to do with how you are raised.

As for what started the civil war, certainly the union didn't want slavery and they didn't want secession, but neither actually started the war. The south wanted to buy back Fort Sumter from the U.S. government, but they wouldn't sell, so the south took it by force. When the union tried to march troops through the south to retake the fort and found opposition, that started the war. Slavery hadn't been outlawed at that point and neither had secession, but those were later used as propaganda to fuel the war.

Then I come from a long line of traitors. I prefer that to those that will give in and give up.

Every race has been subjected to slavery at some point in history. Not institutionalizing slavery is a relatively recent thing in human history. It's still a common practice in some parts of Africa and the Middle East. People who seek to force and steal other people's labor will never go away; they just take new forms.

Hell we still have forms of slavery in the west. White slavery aka sex trafficking. Funny thing is it's most prominent in big liberal cities.

And for those offended by it's use after the war , they should know the Klan marched with the U.S. flag too.

I would also include the endless cycles of handouts as being a form of slavery at this point as well.

I just looked and eBay is taking all the items related to the battle flag from the site.
The 'Stars and Bars' 13 star flag I bought 2 days ago has been deleted!!!!

I found this one and quickly bought it.

Deluxe Nylon Southern Stars and Bars 3x5 Flag FL640 New 5x3 South Civil War | eBay

I should have gone 'neckbeard' and bought a few dozen to sell at a huge markup when they become illegal.

This nugget was reported by our local newspaper this morning ...

[h=1]Confederate flag sales brisk in Hood County[/h]June 25, 2015
Two retailers in Hood County reported being sold out of Confederate battle flags amid the recent controversy following the shootings in South Carolina.
Troy Ferguson, who sells a variety of flags along Hwy. 377 in Cresson, said that he sold about 325 Confederate battle flags between Tuesday and Wednesday.
“It’s becoming a collector’s item,” he said. The owners of Army Surplus M&J in Granbury are also out of stock on their Confederate battle flags.
The store sells a number of items featuring the flag’s design.

Anywhere but here, that might be taken out of context. lol

 

[TheDan]

lmao... My neighbor had the battle flag hung up on his garage this morning. He usually has an LSU flag hanging there, so this is an improvement

 

[SA_Steve]

Can this possibly be true? I heard on the radio yesterday that when the civil war started that there were 3 million slaves in the South.

Seems high by a factor of 10 at least...

And that was one reason, along with another big one, that Lincoln did not ship them back to their original home.

There's a full court press on rewriting history these days. I sure don't know what is true. Cannot ever get a correct story on the TV news that is for sure.
