Probably as many as there are ultra-conservative right-wing nutjobs.

Doubtful.

Doubtful.

Pull your blinders off and look around. How many of those left-wing Democrats have you found here?

Doubtful.

As one who self identifies as an ultra-conservative right-wing nutjob, I have to agree... We should do a poll...

You aren't a nutjob.

If only people would look at how Hitler and other dictators operated they would see we are using those blueprints.

What we are seeing isn’t anything new.

I tell people this routinely- "What we are seeing in our society today, we saw in Germany in the 1930s".

Look up a town called Gleiwitz. "The victor will not be asked whether he told the truth".- Adolph Hitler, 1939

Exactly!

This turned out to be an interesting thread. Only a couple of commenters actually described the War for Southern Independence with some accuracy. (or War of Northern Aggression, War Between the States... there was nothing "Civil" about it- that's a label coined by cheap historians). The commonly known "rebel" flag was patterned after Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia flag, but there were actually several different flags flown by the Confederate States and the various State regiments, also containing that design or distinctly different designs, reflecting the individual regiments.

If any of you want to dig deeper into the history of that War, I suggest researching Sons of Confederate Veterans and/or Sons of Union Veterans. Those two national orgs are comprised of thousands of members, all descendants of WSI Vets and share a wealth of little-known factual information about the Cause, Lincoln's betrayal of the U.S. Constitution regarding State sovereignty/right of secession, how the Lincoln Admin crafted the situation that led to the first shot fired on Fort Sumpter, the myth of slavery being the central issue of the War, Lincoln's support for the institution of slavery, etc.

Your public school history of the War is so watered-down as to sound ridiculous after doing some research of the historical record. Namely, there were hundreds of other battles/skirmishes that were fought all over the South and even in neutral States that never get mentioned, but were decisive engagements, affecting the eventual outcome.
Tidbit: General Robert E. Lee was actually against Secession, was a trained Union Army Officer (West Point graduate) and only joined the fray from a sense of loyalty after Lincoln's Army invaded his home State of Virginia, which had already seceded from the Union.
For the doubters, I suggest starting your research with the Corwin Amendment...

Congratulations! You've said nothing here that many of us don't already know... If you've really got something we don't know, there's a thread for that...

Tell us something we don't know....

Pretty self explanatory - I'll kick it off: -All odd numbers have an "E" in them. -Sloths don't fart. -Most toilets flush in E flat - France was still executing people via guillotine when the first star wars movie came out. -No square piece of paper can be folded in half more than 7 times...

Thank you! I'm pretty sure I gave credit where it was due and addressed those who came across as lacking knowlege of the subject. But then, you obviously already knew that, too...

So are some here trying to make a correlation, or comparison between Nazi Germany and the Southern Confederate States?

I mean the thread starts out about the Confederate battle flag and then we suddenly seem to be making references between Nazi's and Confederates. As if their is any comparison, or even remotely similarities.

Trying to make that link is pretty offensive IMO.

Ridiculous nonsense!

 

[BillM]

Counting you, just one.

 

[Axxe55]

Ridiculous nonsense!

Really? Then why are you several times and another person referencing them several times on this thread?

Unless I'm mistaken, I think you were the one that introduced that perspective into this thread.

If you are going to accuse me of something, you better be able to back it up.

Some might even call that a personal attack and could very well earn you getting banned.

Might be very careful if the words you choose to use.

Lol, no one compared nazis to the south. The original post was about the censorship and cancel culture overtaking this country, and THAT is what is being compared to Nazi Germany. Of course that's obvious to everyone posting here but you for some reason.

I think you are incorrect. Seems the original post, was about possibly some misplaced outrage because you thought Amazon went "woke" because you failed in finding a Confederate flag for sale there. In less than a minute of doing a Google search, i found numerous Confederate flags for sale, including more than a few from Amazon as well. I even linked those sources.

So please explain to everyone about all this censorship and cancel culture you experienced. I'm actually quite curious. Please enlighten us to how Amazon compares to Nazi Germany and they are censoring you. Even IF they were censoring stuff at Amazon, not for sure how that compares with the Nazi's exterminating 6 to 10 million people.

What I find rather obvious is the start of this thread to be a total fabrication on your part. You wanted to cry outrage at Amazon, but I proved that to be incorrect. A skeptical person might wonder at what other things you are fabricating in your posts here on the forum.

Leftists say they're one and the same - the fact that the Confederate $2 bill had a Jew on it and the nazis killed 1/3 of world Jewry doesn't matter!

Pretty much what I expected from you, and the typical response. Glad to see you didn't disappoint Bill.
