The Klan carrying the US flag is the same as them carrying the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, an abomination and a corruption of the symbol of what it stands for.
The only reason slavery existed under the United States flag was because it was the sole issue the south refused to budge on during the formation of our country.
In suggesting that we should hold the Stars and Stripes in equal contempt just because the Klan carried it or that it flew over our nation during that time when good men tried to end the practice of slavery inside our nation is just as big an abomination as the corruption of the cross by those evil men that would kill any of us that opposed their views.
Personally I gave up my defense of my southern roots, for one simple reason, the very party that created the Klan, the confederate flag and the Confederacy itself, still uses the symbols they created to divide this nation upon racial grounds for their benefit, and I could not defend the racism of the democrats.
The Corps has decided to remove such symbols from it’s ranks, and I say they made a just decision.
What other such symbolic threats to unit cohesion have been removed from the ranks, usmcobra?
