What business does such a large rebel flag have in Elizabethton, Tennessee anyway? Carter County voted 1343 to 86 to stay in the Union! This time I think the SCV is reaching too far and should be satified with placing small flags on the graves.

A member of the group says they've since put up a new, more recognizable confederate flag at Green Hill Cemetery in the other flag's absence.

Does that mean a larger flag?

Next time the tender conscience concerned people could steal the Confederate grave markers instead. That is how it was done originally. Poor apostate Puritans. So many cultures to extinguish and so little time. Truly there is no rest for the wicked.

Some of those people fought on the Confederate side and died but were buried in the cemetery. There’s nothing wrong with that flag since it was a battle flag, not the Confederate States flag.

Here we go again. Another battle over the Confederacy. So what, the damn Yankees won the FIRST battles. Look what it got us. Lincoln “freed” the slaves; 0bambi makes us all slaves.

Because it's part of the South?

Carter County voted 1343 to 86 to stay in the Union!

They were overruled by the whole State!

Perhaps those brave deceased Southrons should roll over in their graves, raise their bottoms up to display the proper solute to Lincoln. Then we all will witness what you do best... kissing Southern ass. :)

btw...look up the Watuaga Historical outfit...a an association governed by the faculty of East TN State University

like I figured

you know I think ol Puroesu...zotted here last year or so and who was plain spoken on race was actually on that faculty

shame he isn’;t here to comment...he was quite the writer

i actually dug more into the association...it looks like it started out better but got PC the more the college got into it

now they get racial healing grants and stuff

they are Melungeon experts..btw

I will confess...I have never heard that term...we had folks like that where I come from....Creola Alabama and Jones County MS both have some of those folks

anyhow

Since when did you become an opponent of the First Amendment?

My personal opinion is that you yankees detest the entire Bill of Rights, especially the Second and Tenth Amendments. After all, the Bill of Rights and the entire Constitution is a 'negative' document, right?
