Maybe it's South Colorado

Well, I live in SW Colorado, and the "Rebel Flag" doesn't bother me in the least.

To be fair, the chubbiest of them all — has her booger picker on the bang lever.

For all we know they could be ancestors of southerners who moved out after the war. Just because CO or even AK to IL doe snot mean they cannot fly the flag especially if they did have ancestors or just want to.

Southern women are the best.

I cannot figure out the racism angle”

Simple, The Confederate flag stands for the Southern Democrat Slave Owners, the Democrat Party Created ALL JIM CROW LAWS, The Democrat Party Created the KKK, The Democrat Party Filibustered Every Piece of Civil Rights Legislation ever introduced in Congress. So the Confederate Flag is a symbol of Proud Democrats and that’s RACIST.

Wouldn’t bother me a bit. Back in the 1990s when the Malcolm “X” T-shirts were worn quite a bit, my oldest daughter use to wear a “you got your X, I’ve got my X” Confederate Flag shirt to high school from time to time. I was actually proud of her and most of the students did not care one bit. I certainly could tell that she was my daughter. :)

I remember when a popular shirt had a picture of Malcolm X and the words "It's a black thing -- You wouldn't understand".

Somebody made up a batch of shirts with a picture of Einstein with "E=mc^2" and the words "It's a white thing -- you wouldn't understand".

“A bunch of kids photographed themselves in front of a confederate flag and a couple of guns and the media get their panties in a twist again.

The media and those upset need to get a life.”

This is a direct assault on the first amendment. The left has tried to twist it to mean “You have a right to free speech unless you offend me.”

That means that the left gets to decide who can talk and who cannot. It is exactly like the Muslims saying they will kill anyone who draws a cartoon of Mohammed.

Agree with you wholeheartedly.

Not too long ago kids at a school wore shirts saying gay and proud, another kid decided one day t wear a shirt saying straight and proud and he got suspended.

There clearly is a double standard and it needs to be voiced more and more because silence only emboldens the left wing NAZI’s

Doodle Dawg is a racially correct south basher and a retread here in my opinion

One must remain indignant over slavery even as American culture melts all around us per yankee south bashers

But I....non repentant.....no remorse

Shameless southerner proud of my slave and non slave owning confederate ancestry

Appreciate your levity

For later
