Just one day after he told KENS 5 that he would continue to sell it, Dixie Flag Company owner Pete Van de Putte confirmed Tuesday that the store will no longer sell the Confederate Battle Flag.
He confirmed just after 6 p.m. that the decision was effective this afternoon.

You sir, nailed it.
“The fact that people are so easily cowed is what is frightening.”
EXACTLY!!!! A nations of COWARDS and FOOLS!!!!
“Home of the Brave”???
I DON’T think so - not anymore anyway.
Call it the Home of the Pussies.
WTH happens if the next psycho killer is seen in some stupid selfie holding an American flag??? I can’t take the utter stupidity anymore.
focused attacks on individuals to cow an entire society is a Leftist specialty.
So when are we going to act as a group and protect each other? if ever?
And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

The American Flag will preceed it.
This is nuts. To most Americans it probably is a “so what, I’m not a Confederate” issue. It is a FREE SPEECH issue. These cretins are REWRITING HISTORY.
Now Toomey (REPUBLICRAT) from PA and Manchin (phony “Blue Dog Demonrat) are pushing MORE gun control.
***THE FLAG CAUSED IT!***
Gee! And I thought it was that GOLD’S GYM T-shirt that set him off.
SHAMEFUL
It would seem that way. I just went to a High School Graduation. Guess what. NO CLERGYMAN for the Benediction.
Our entire country, heritage and even history is being stolen from right in front of us and it has NOTHING to do with a single lunatic gunman in Charlestown.
It has EVERYTHING to do with national stupidity and cowardice.
I know. But there is no longer any other conclusion to come to.
America has indeed become a nation of cringing cowards.
Someone whispered in his ear he was going to lose his business license.
I didn’t stay home. I voted for Mitt. If Mitt was President they would still be taking down the flag. He is currently calling for it. But I know what you mean. Mitt would have been somewhat better than Barky.
His supplier has cut him off. He was a distributor only, apparently.
The knives are out for manufacturers and sellers of flags.
Coming soon: Holy texts of the Christian faith.
(1) slavery was allowed to continue (slavery itself predates our Independence after indentured servitude was replaced), and (2) it flourished after Independence in both the North and South.
The Stars and bars is only credited with 4 years.

True - unfortunately and the progressives will pick up on it. Nothing succeeds like success, and a bunch of yellow-bellied Republicans, starting with that Nikky Haily witch , gave it to them.
Could be one in the same.

The current South is not the South of your father or grandfather. Migrants from the North are slowly tilting the South's political leanings towards the left. I guess the rest of them are too busy at work to get off to protest.
I have already contacted Ebay about this and will be moving down the line. None of these places will be getting my business and I will also be letting them know how I feel. I’m not doing it to defend the confederate flag. I am defending free speech and expression.
Migrants from the north - lol
Migrants are mostly from the south actually, south of the border
