Sure, that's why they removed the duly elected Governor of Texas when he wouldn't take an oath to the Confederate States of America. Guess "federal control" was only bad when the union did it.
Never heard that. Don’t know how I missed it. I do know that the South held him in extremely low esteem. They called him an “ape” and a “baboon”. They were appalled and embarrassed to have him as their president. Politics hasn’t changed much. Anyway, States Rights were paramount. For example, Lee, who lived within site of the Capitol, went with his State when Virginia succeeded. He didn’t stop to consider politics or motives or reasons for the War,........... Lee went with his State, and that was that.
I suspect this will end up known as National Beat The Crap Out Of A Liberal Day
So after we burn and ban the Confederate flag then what do we ban?
When do we start banning the slave holding founders?, or the American flag which was over legal slavery way longer than the Confederate flag?? How abount American history pre-1965 ‘civil’ rights’ act? We can ban all kinds of evil white man stuff!
Love this logic!
The man himself lays out his complete understanding and judgement of the Conflict right there in his two Innaugural Adresses. And also in a quaint little piece he wrote in Nov '63. It ends like this, "that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
The blacks can riot and burn all they want, in their neighborhood.
That’s the 10th anniversary of the start of Operation Red Wings, the most decorated special forces operation in this century (maybe ever) and the basis of the movie “Lone Survivor.” One Medal of Honor and three Navy Crosses awarded for unbelievable courage. In this midst of all the political crap of the leftists, I hope someone remembers Murphy, Dietz, Axelson, Fontan, Healy, Kristensen, Lucas, McGreevy, Suh, Taylor, Patton, Goare, Goodnature, Jacoby, Muralles, Ponder, Reich, Russell, and Scherkenbach.
This is giving the NAACP orgasms. They have wanted a reason to bring an all out attack against Southern heritage to give them purpose since their reason for existing has become moot.
Yes. A lot of people here are under the mistaken belief that the democrats used to be the “good guys” and that “Lincoln was a commie”.
Show the world that Americans aren’t bigoted or hateful.,,,Except when it comes to the Confederate flag.
These people should have a “think check” key right next to the “spell check” key.
It is perfectly legal to burn the confederate flag. It’s legal to burn the American flag. But don’t you dare burn a Koran.
Secession, for whatever reason, was legal and should be attempted again. This time because we’re tired of being slaves to the government.
They’re going to have to rename the theme park FIVE FLAGS OVER TEXAS.
Talk about poor winners!
Crazies in the midst will always make the rest of us look bad. I am afraid there now is no saving the dear old Battle Flag so many good men valiantly died for.
This stupid kid could not have tried harder to pick a worst place than a peaceful church of elderly Black folks to cold blooded shoot em like dogs for no reason!
Now no matter what any wildass black rioters do Crackas will be at fault.
It won’t be long the same people will want a “burn the american flag” day.
If it’s your flag you can burn it.
Can I burn a Mexican flag instead?
Unrest is precisely what leftists want. 0bama has been stirring it up since he got into office.
