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

[cuate]

My Great-Grandfather living in Georgia when the Civil War broke out, joined the Confederate 37th Georgia Infantry at the age of about 20, fought in several battles around Atlanta and went with troops to Tennessee at the Battle of Franklin. The Federals won that battle as Gen.Hood did not take his artillery and Great-Grandfather was shot in the hip and was captured a few days later in Pulaski , Tennessee laying in an ambulance wago0n. He was tasken to a Federal Prison of War Camp in Ohio and kept there until the war ended. In his old age he was an invalid due to that wound,

His Father Joined the US Army and fought for the United States against Mexico in the 1840s. He died there of a fever and nobody knows where he was buried or can find out ! I revere the United States flag, the Confederate Flag and the Texas Flag !

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

Washington, Jefferson, Revere etc were Traitors too. So by your standards the US flag now should not be flown anymore..... LOL

For 150 years the flag was not a problem. In one month a dedicated group of people have villified the flag enough to be removed. Give those people some real work to do instead of whining about everything. Idle people are causing all the problems.

If those people would have put the same effort to something truly meaningful, like bringing the $20 trillion dollar national debt into the spotlight, things could actually improve.

They can't really "fix" anything else - anything that truly matters. That's why they do stuff like this. Feel good to their constituents but zero real fix to help anyone.

The masses of deluded feel good a while and keep buying into the .gov

 

[Mexican_Hippie]

It's too late to really fix a lot of things in a lot of places. They're just going for popularity points so when it comes crashing down people don't want to drag them out in the streets.

Yeah right.


Fixing the debt would mean cutting back on handouts. No way in hell the FSA is gonna put any effort in to that.

The Civil War’s causes were a bit more complex than that, butthe Confederate battle flag has become a symbol of racism.

This is the issue that really puts a bur under my saddle. ...has become a symbol of racism. Key words, "has become". The true crisis in the republic right now isn't whether people of the same sex can marry, but the fact that words can and ARE being redefined as needed to fit a narrative and objects are being assigned "a thought or intention". Now Walmart refuses to bake cakes with the confederate flag on it but don't hesitate to bake one with the flag of the Nation of Islam; Amazon refuses to sell the confederate flag due to a sudden discovery of "principles" but doesn't mind selling the North Korean flag, a banner of a nation currently guilty of human rights violations including murder and torture.

When the nutjobs need strife for distraction and to have a trump card in an argument, they throw out the race card and are doing so more and more to the point I want to puke. Now when I hear the term "racist" my first reaction is to assume the accusation is a lie because the term has been abused.

Louis Farrakhan now wants the United States flag removed because it offends him.

Having grown up in NYC i guess I felt the North was righteous in it's win over the South. At least until I visited some civil war sights and learned some history. Good or Bad it is part of our history. It's a shame the PC LIBTARD Crowd has this much power to not only re write history, but alter our very culture to their progressive socialist view.

I hope they don't come and try to take my Lynard Skynard albums !
