Leftists/Libs/Progressives whine and bleeding hearts join their cause because those bleeding hearts are afraid of being accused of not being sensitive.

The calls for bans differ little from ISIS/ISIL destroying antiquities, except the cries for bans come from the progressives/Liberals for their own political/social advancement.
Both ideologies are equally destructive.
Face it, Romney represents big $$$$$$$$$, all GOP hopefuls 'need to' bow before him and kiss his ring. (Well, maybe not the Donald.) The question is how do we know THE eventual GOP hopeful will keep our interests in mind after the election? The answer is 'no, we can't and they won't'.
Romney is not getting my votes for anything.
Romney, you are an ass!
Shut up, Mitt.
Go guzzle a bourbon....it might do you some good.
It is an historic symbol of the Old South. Many of my ancestors fought and died under that flag during the Civil War. And many of our cities and towns are named after them. As such, I will give it the same respect they did and honor the Confederate flag in their namesake.
Liberals disrespect much more than this flag. They hate its people, culture, and a country that no longer exists. As they rewrite history to assert their views, a new generation of rebels wait patiently and endure.
Seeing the rebel flag flapping in the breeze, liberals will instinctively lie and say it stands for slavery and injustice, of racism and hate for black people and other minorities. But we know this isn’t true. Instead we are reminded that once upon a time our ancestors found it necessary to abolish (by secession) and re-institute a new form of representative government. And that we do not have to accept the tyranny of an over-reaching government and the elites that would tell us how to think and live our lives.
Who knows, maybe the South will rise again. Remember, nothing is forever except Jesus. Leave us alone to honor our dead and our culture as we see fit. And let the Confederate battle flag fly to remind us the battle never ends until HIS kingdom comes. Amen.
Stay up North Mitt. Oh and STFU!
Nearly all 59,423, or however many R candidates there are, have shot themselves in the foot the past few days. It’s only going to get worse.
The Confederate Battle Flag is a symbol of my ancestors, a symbol of pride and spirit. Its colors symbolize valor, purity, and truth, and when this flag is flown, these virtues are heritage and proudly remembered. I will not turn my back on my ancestors and their sacrifices. The Confederate Soldier's memory is not left up to the Federal Government. It is the responsibility of the descendants of those brave men to preserve their memory. No false shadow over their emblems or over their memory should be allowed to detract from their remembrance of the honor, courage and valor that they demonstrated.
Removal of this flag and not its presence is becoming a wedge between our people and is breeding a climate of resentment and intolerance. I tolerate black history month and a holiday designated for a philanderer and a plagiarizer. Those people should tolerate a symbol of my heritage and pride.

The race baiters will find some other symbol to hone in on, like, white people.
Romney, a person no one cares about trying to be relevant...
Romney, big cheese in a religion that only belatedly recognized blacks as fully human.I know black people who have no use for Mormons based on that.
