i have a friend in New Jersey, a longtime Freeper; she was the person who introduced me to this site. She doesn’t post anymore because she has several children in private school, and she and her husband work to keep them there.
She has no Southern roots; hers are in Italy. But she shares your view on the flag in question and Southern roots.
I guess she’s a Reb too, LOL.
I can think of many worse things to be called than “Reb”...in fact, “Reb” is what we conservatives are, isn’t it?
We’re “rebelling” against a growing and out of control government and tyranny. Yet, somehow, those who “rebelled” in the South in the run-up to the CW under similar circumstances are to be viewed as unAmerican and their heritage and history is to be erased from our American history?
I can’t even begin to comprehend that position from purported conservatives.
The problem I believe is that so many have come to believe in the revisionist history being taught via PC and the indoctrination in the school systems.
I suppose, based on the so called arguments being presented, that if any of us have roots going back to some country or nation that engaged in some actions that are now found “objectionable”, we’re to not only forget our ancestry and history but to erase it as well?
