Nor did the confederate flag represent the confederacy.

Then why would you call it the confederate flag?

Typical republicans. No moral compass. Its only about controlling the money. Delorenzo was right about the Gop.

because that's what it's called

Here's the 25th Virginia Infantry Regimental flag. It was used, with other types of communication, in a time of large masses of troops to control movements of one's own unit on a chaotic battlefield.

Well yeah.

This kind of vote shows about as much humanity as ISIS destroying British and German grave sites in Libya.

Legal doesn’t matter anymore, we have illegal executive orders, illegal immigrants, illegal sanctuary cities, DOJ not enforcing laws they don’t want to, IRS selective enforcement. We have become a third world nation.

Not sure about flags. Every year a delegation of German officer from their Embassy in DC come down to Tidewater area of VA and lay wreaths on the graves of German U-boat sailors that are buried in the National Cemeteries at Portsmouth and Hampton

If they are Veterans of the United States, then it appropriate that the flag of the United States mark their graves.

This leaves me speechless, so since some in the country did not like the Korean and Viet Nam war we should take the flags off their graves also?

take it one step further. We defeated Japan in WW2. Italy. Germany. Are we going to forbid them flying their flags too? This gets into the theater of absurdity if not something darker quite quickly.

Because America is becoming a disgrace. The communists are winning the culture war and those opposing the communists are spineless and letting them steamroll the nation.

The Southern Reps are running away in full surrender. Nobody opposes PC anymore once it takes hold. This is PC at its finest and most destructive.

The Confederate flag is the new “N” word.

You might get a debate on the nazi flag, but I don’t disagree with your premise.

That's what I think too. We need to put that “sanctuary city” concept to the test and refuse to issue marriage licenses to sodomites, too.
