Flying the Confederate flag over a state capitol ... is like flying the Nazi flag over a synagogue

Complete Headline: Flying the Confederate flag over a U.S. state capitol building is like flying the Nazi flag over a synagogue

Flying the Confederate battle flag — the symbol of the deadliest war in our country’s history — over a state capitol dome is like flying the Nazi flag over a synagogue. It symbolizes everything that the institution is not. As Americans, we’re better than that. Really.

The Confederacy was about breaking apart the union, not its unification. That’s why we’re called the United States, not the Divided States of America.

Ignorant libtards like her forget that the men in gray were honorable men ... they were fighting for freedom and liberty ... they were fighting for the rights of states against northern aggression ... and that many of the problems that we face today caused by a runaway federal system intruding into everything from education to healthcare to citizen oppression would not be an issue if the South would have won the war!

It doesn’t fly over a capital. It flew at a memorial.

This Liberal Bit#h forgets who authorized this display. It was racist, segregationist, DemoRATS that voted this in in Southern statehouse during the 1960’s. Andthe Black sheep that continue to vote for a DemoRAT Party that enslaves them still.

.....not the Divided States of America.

It is precisely that now, more than ever. The shooting just hasn't started yet.

Just because some libtard says so doesn’t make it so.

“...ignorant libtards...”

One of whom would probably not hesitate to fly the rainbow flag over her local church.

IMHO

Yesterday driving down the highway in Virginia I saw a line of about 7 or 8 trucks, all flying the Gadsden flag, the Battle flag and American flags. They were heading to a local 4th of July parade. I was really happy to see that because a few people had taken down their Battle flag in the past few days.

The CBF flies at monuments not over the state capitols, the 3x5 flag that flew over some is long gone. She is an ignorant and hateful propagandist, in some countries she would be arrested, so she should get down on her knees and thank the dead old white men for the 1st amendment.

I’m almost 69. My great-great grandfather fought as a Rebel at Shiloh. He had no slaves; worked his land like a slave himself. - He fought because YA’LL ARE DOWN HERE ! I don’t worship any flag - not the Confederate flag, not even the American flag. Attempting to rewrite history is deplorable; her “truth” is her “truth” - to her. I don’t advocate the Confederate flag over a state capitol. It IS history & still has a place at certain places & events.

flying the Gadsden flag

In the past two years I have had two Gadsden flags stolen off the front of my house...

I have two libtards moon-bats live in my neighborhood.

I caught one of them trying to steal my Romney yard sign back in 2012.

I told him next time, I'd just shoot him and ask questions later...

Agreed. I just got a Texas Confederate battle flag, which will be proudly displayed below the State of Texas flag. Not flying it for racism, which I abhor, but for independence from big government and tyranny.

The US flag was absent from my home for the first time on 4th of July. Stupid people shouldn’t have the right to vote, because eventually politicians tell them they can vote themselves other people’s money. Unelected judges who think they are more informed and more intelligent than others overruled institutions made by God. Unalienable rights not come from man, and I am sure this is not the end, but only a beginning of future tyranny to be befall these former United States.

I don’t recognize my country anymore - it’s traditions or it’s people. Elements of society, media and government have enacted a coup on the U.S. Constitution and have decided we don’t need a republic form of government. Unelected officials (SCOTUS), a Trojan Horse president who rules by decree and poor RINO representation in congress ceding their power to a usurper.

Perhaps a New Republic of Texas can fix the gaping holes in the U.S. Constitution that these power grabbing tyrants have exploited. Kings and Kingdoms start somewhere.

This is just a question if interest. Is there any state, including the one in the news this last couple of weeks, that flies the confederate flag "over" the state capitol?

I'm not being critical. I think the confederate flag represents and era that is the most interesting to me in US history.

So, apparently, do modern proponents of slavery i.e. liberals, who are pushing as hard as they can to start another Civil War. This time, though, it will the the slaves who are armed.

If I had libtards with a history of trespassing living close to me I would have a camera on my porch. The wildlife cameras are very inexpensive. Video of them would be great. You could bring charges against them or post it on youtube for a little public shaming.

BTW - have you thought about putting up a Rebel flag? Before you do it rub it in poison ivy. Wear latex gloves when doing the rubbing! LOL
