“federal action banning the sale or manufacture of the Confederate flag”
By what authority? I don’t get it.
I took a drive around town today and noticed many businesses and homes that had been flying the confederate flag for many years have taken them down.
I went to buy fireworks this afternoon with my kid. There was a nice couple who happed to be black standing next to us choosing what they wanted. They chose 10 “Whistling Dixie” fountains with the Rebel Flag on them. Didn’t care one bit. Probably would be called ‘Uncle Toms’ for their purchase.
Where’s Nikki Haley these days?
Surely she has the guts to face the fire for her shameless and ignorant call to remove the CBF. No?
Well Nick, seems you learned well from the Establishment Republicans to pander and be spineless. Problem is you’ve been duped into believing the future belongs to the weak and unprincipled politician.
Not just the flag, but things Confederate in general seem endangered. In my hometown of Macon,GA,two downtown Confederate monuments have been targeted. One is a monument to the Confederacy’s soldiers(which towns galore across the South have)with a soldier on top ever vigilant. The other is a monument to the wives, sisters,mothers and sweethearts of the South’s soldiers. Thanks to a former mayor, these downtown memorials may be gone one day. In the city’s Rose Hill cemetery, there is a Confederate section with a flag. I’m just wondering if local soreheads have plans for that.
The only elected official with the moral authority to ban the Stars and Bars was Abe Lincoln, and he chose not to. Anybody who know a wit about the Civil War knows that the fighting rebs were just poor farm boys who didn’t own slaves. In fact, slave owners were exempt from conscription by the Confederacy. Lincoln was a healer, not a divider.
