The Confederate flag is the flag of racial bigotry. There’s no doubt about it. Need a bit of proof, other than Dylann Roof proudly waving it in pictures before committing his racially-motivated crime?

David Duke eats ice cream.

David Duke is a racist.

Therefore, ice cream is racist. /sarc

Social media being used for inciting to riot?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Nothing new there.

[easternsky]

My People also, carved in some of their Headstones, guess they want to tear those down also.

That is sort of what seems confusing, There are some in the conservative movement who want to claim both Lincoln and the confederacy.

What about 'Burn the ISIS Flag Day'?:

You called?

>> Secession, for whatever reason, was legal and should be attempted again. <<

Be careful what you wish for, you may get it:

If I thought the burning of supposed seditious symbols could cure a rainy day I'd be routinely torching lots of images of liberals and/or other interchangeable symbolic pornography.

It won’t. There’s plenty of them posting here.

I’ve not seen that. I’ve seen those who despise Lincoln but claim the confederacy...always thought they must be Democrats!

The New Black Panther Party flags, La Raza flags, Muslim Crescent flags, Gay Pride flag, Nazi Flags, Jolly Roger Pirate flag.........

Trash and burn - seems to be the Left’s plan for urban renewal - then they wonder why there’s so many burnt out husks instead of thriving neighborhoods.....

Your post #90 noted.

There seems to be some sort of politically correct appeasement in this old word of ours. Now the original flag of England was the Cross of St. George. A red cross on a white background.

To mark themselves as English, soccer fans, some of them rowdies painted the red cross on their faces. A village in England called Radstock, banned the flying of the old St George flag. There were 16 muslims in the village of 5000. Did not want to offend them. Others spoke of removing that old flag from town halls. vis: do not offend muslims with the flag of the Crusaders. Another reason being to do not associate with anything that soccer rowdies use.

So it goes. In friendly fashion I will check back on June 30th.

What's the problem???!!! Is burning the American flag too yesterday?

[VerySadAmerican]

I don’t believe Texas would secede to join Mexico.

[VerySadAmerican]

I’m not one of those who claim Lincoln AND the confederacy. Nor do I see where the confederacy has anything to do with being conservative.

I do see where it ties in with fighting tyranny. And tyranny is here, folks! And that is a confederacy I’d be willing to join and hopefully it be a peaceful solution. And it could be unless, of course, there’s another Lincoln in the white house.

As for a re-play? I would hate to see another Civil War. It would be hard to draw lines today.

Where does it tie in with fighting tyranny?

Even Mitt Romney, the man who no longer has to worry about impressing the more bigoted base of his party...

...seems like an appropriate target for ridicule by astroturf rage directors.

[who knows what evil?]

Sounds like a great idea...buy it and fly it! As a poster said yesterday; it’s a great way to flip off the left!
