In Defense of the Confederate Flag

"So please, if you think that the Confederate flag is solely the domain of people like Dylann Roof, I implore you to think again."

The irony here is that with all of this hullabaloo from the fascist liberals and all of the enabling useful idiots, they have actually ALLOWED THE REAL RACISTS TO WIN by acknowledging and confirming that FLAG to be their racist symbol.

What the CSA seceded to get away from is still the basis for continuing considerations of secession today.

It has occurred to me that the slavery issue has some similarities to the Global Warming issue today.

North Eastern Wealthy Liberals are proposing that they be given enormous powers to regulate carbon and stifle the use of carbon fuels with a resulting HUGE economic impact on the rest of us.

It would literally kill our economy if they were given what they want, yet they have not the slightest concern for this resulting economic upheaval because they themselves will not suffer from it. They will be content so long as they get to impose their new found moral crusade on the rest of us, and d@mn the costs.

People still think the federal government is going to try and limit the expansion of slavery?

You are a deliberately obtuse Religious fanatic when it comes to your desperate need to believe your opinion is morally right.

The larger principle involved is whether people have a right to self determination or whether they must be ruled from Washington D.C.

You will shortly reap the consequences of the philosophical Whirlwind you have sown. Make sure you pay your Obamacare premiums, and don't even think about escaping.

The more it is banned on government/public property, the more I am going to find ways to display it on my private property. It’s the least I can do.

I AM a southerner and Krouse’s qualification is chicken-hearted to the extreme.

The continued presence of Confederate flags, monuments, statues, etc. over the years was evidence of the post-war reconciliation. The message was basically: "We were divided but are once again united - and as proof of that these images will be honored for their historical value".

A better, vanished time, I suppose, because now the message is being replaced with the "We Won" taunt. Sound familiar? In the eyes of the political left, there never was a reconciliation. They've just been biding their time until they could eradicate the evidence of past rebellion.

What is really being accomplished by all this agitation? What's the true goal? All I can think of is an effort to shut down any simmering thoughts of armed resistance. They may be miscalculating in that regard.

Ooooops, I’m sorry, it seems I directed my remark to you when it should have been to the Krouse. I too live in the South.
