May there be one, two, many burning Faggie Flags on June 26th!

And if the 13% want to wage racial war against the 87%, then I say welcome!

Well, the Confederates were for limiting federal control. Maybe we need to start flying it rather than burning it.

Any talk of burning “THE BLACK NATIONALIST” Flag? I understand it is being flown at some schools in some states.

That sounds about right. The Democrat Party created the Confederacy and now they’re are going to destroy it’s symbol. At least that’s what I make of it. Are they going to destroy their other creation, the Ku Klux Klan next?

It’s an historic battle flag—not the Democrat KKK flag.
A flag didn’t do this.
But Curtis can blame a flag if it makes him feel all warm and fuzzy and full of love for himself.
Pfff...
In recent history (60’s) a few had the same M.O....commit heinous crimes with the hope of touching off a race war.
One is rotting in jail with a swastika on his forehead.

All that is going to happen is that there will be a huge backlash and someone is going to hurt or killed over it.

But I guess that is what the Liberals want, to keep race a issue for the ages and cause as much disruption and violence as possible.

As I understood it, yes, there was growing debate over "the most peculiar institution" (as Lincoln refered to slavery). It's days were numbered anyway. But the South could NOT abide by having Lincoln as their President. Upon his being elected, the Southern States began to succeed. Lincoln said, "no, you are not allowed to succeed". His whole thing was about preserving the Union (a house divided cannot stand, etc). His motive, regardless of why the Southern States were succeeding, was to keep the country united. The best sources for his stance on the matter of the War is in his First and Second Innaugural speeches.

As the War dragged out, men's minds evolved. Motivations evolved. The South found itself defending not just the peculiar institution but it's very land. The North came to realize it could leverage a win by making it about slavery.

If libs are offended by the Confed flag the why are the perfectly OK with the Democrap party which symbolizes racism a hell of a lot more?

I don't know, maybe the rats give them more free stuff.

maybe Republicans should join in after all the Republican Party is the anti-slavery party and had nothing to do with putting the Confederate emblem on Southern state flags.

Absolutely not. And I say that as a Northerner. From the suburbs of Chicago.

It’s good news. “Movement Grows” stories are unfailing indicators of the contrary. If he posts a “Picks Up Steam” story, it’s toast.

“I’d happily burn a rainbow flag but don’t want anyone seeing me buy one.”

When will leftist finally get over their hatred of the south ? Or perhaps they just hate flags in general, since they seem to burn and deface the US flag quite often.

Many people back then thought he was black. No, I’m not kidding.

“Why do leftists want to?”

They need to agitate - at all times.

I wonder if the sound and fury generated by the would be flag burners will die soon? Like many cries of “outrage” over some perceived “racist” problem, it is likely to have a shelf life. It will be interesting to view the media coverage at the end of this month.
