Hopefully, Mississippians won’t cave to the tyranny of Political Correctness. Fly the flag with pride.

The modern day Ministry of truth is rewriting history and stealing a proud heritage from the South- so very sad.

“Mississippians voted by a nearly two-to-one ratio to keep it. Recent ( polling) suggests the majority have not changed their minds.”

Well then go f*** off!

Hawaii has the British union flag in the same place, and the British were responsible for the subjugation of millions of people for centuries.

Go bug them.

Holy crap, this is actually a new article.

The New York Times is trying so desperately to keep this Leftist media meme from a few months ago alive.

“Mississippians voted by a nearly two-to-one ratio to keep it. Recent ( polling) suggests the majority have not changed their minds.”

They lost their chance. It’s like gun control polling after the Sandy Hook shooting, it changed for a couple of months, but then corrected itself back to normal by April 2013. Their window of opportunity has closed, most in MS still support the flag, same as they did not long ago when they voted overwhelmingly to keep it as is.

The sad part of this effort to wipe out the Southern culture is that the Libs/Leftists/Progressives ‘guilted’ the Republicans in several states into doing the dirty work of removing certain flags, moving certain statues, etc.

Pubbies are so easily manipulated, it is almost sickening.

The Confederate Flag isn’t a symbol of racism. It’s the flag of treason.

Just remember the flag flown on the slave ships was not the CSA battle flag is was the Stars and Strips. Stay tough MS.

I fly the Mississippi State Flag in my driveway with FUBO painted on the white bar.

SOMETHING MORE ABOUT THE FLAG FEATURED ABOVE.

I’m not sure this war will ever end.

If you live there, pledge allegiance or move to Massachuttes

The flag graphic needs to correct its math. 1865-1786 = 79, not 76.

However another way to do the math is that under the U.S. federal flag slavery was legal about 34 percent of the time, under the CSA flag, it was legal 100 percent of the time.

That said, I support Mississippi keeping its flag. Mostly because I loathe the Leftists who say they can’t have it.
