“What is it that the South is proud of that the liberals don’t consider racist, sexist, and homophobic?”
We’ll have to ask all those Republicans who jumped on the bandwagon to ban the flag. Nikki Haley, la Raza Jeb Bush, the National Review girlboys, the Salem Media neocon mafia. There’s no shortage of them.
That is it, except I have never seen the blue incorporated in it.
The professors use to tell us that it goes back to the old days when they use to hang out bandages to dry so they could reuse them. They also cut hair there too.
in a word, effno.
Not all Southern SLAVE states seceded. They remained with the North. After the surrender of the South those states remained SLAVE STATES with the Stars and Stripes flying over them till Dec of 1865.
Slavery outlasted the South by eight months.
Back in the 1970s, my high school mascot was "The Rebels." We had Confederate battle flags all over school and our fight song was "Dixie".
The politically correct thought police still permit them to be called the Rebels (for now) but every reference to the Confederacy has been erased.
I didn't used to like the Battle Flag because I'm a northerner, and it was alien, the other side's flag. But I always thought it was cool. Now I appreciate it. It's the new "Don't Tread on Me!"
Especially these days, it reminds me of another immortal motto: Molon Labe!
Its a stupid as the Bi-centennial Flag with a star all mixed up—No wonder people turned to the Benington 76 Flag. They should use the Bonnie Blue Flag
“To tackle the problem, Studio 360, a national public radio program, commissioned a Texas-based design firm to design a new flag to represent the modern South. With a diverse team of designers with ties to both sides of the Mason-Dixon line, 70kft embraced the challenge with an understanding of the importance of their task.”
In other words, we the people hired a bunch of gays to tell us Southerners what we should be proud of. What a pile of Shite Muslims.
I like the Bonnie Blue. That's another Southern Flag that doesn't seem to set off the usual suspects as much as the Stars and Bars does.

There is also this one: 
which is, I believe the flag of Southern Nationalism promoted by the League of the South. The black cross on white, that is.
I have no idea what the Red Star on white flag is. Does anyone?
No way. Leave the flag alone.
The good people of the south should buy up every confederate flag and fly them everywhere. Let the 5% deal with changing their pants if they can’t handle it.
It’s gay....
Just add a few more colors and you`d have a good gay flag
That flag loo stupid and homo.
I’ll keep the old one.
That thing is hideous-I wouldn’t fly it over a landfill-the PC fools who keep wanting to f*** with the stars and bars need a swift kick in the ass and a one-way airline ticket to the state of their choice NORTH of the Mason-Dixon line...
The battle flag was used during engagements so the southern troops could recognize one another on the field of battle.
Succession was the act of rebellion.
Fly ‘em both, old and proposed, side by side.
Put up a sign and a way for observers to vote.
(Vote doesn’t really count.)
Keep it up for years, to get a good sample, you know.
My High School, Lane Tech in Chicago’s mascot was The Indian...
Or as we were knows, The Indians...
Big Feathered head dress, muck like you might see on a Sioux Warrior Chief was our emblem
Chicago...
I shudder to think about what it might be changed to...
So glad I do not live there anymore, California my home state I can handle...
