“.......Dylan Roof, was allegedly seen on a web page holding a Confederate flag,.................”
He was stating his political affiliation as a Democrat.
Well that’s it. I couldn’t wait to hear Cooter’s opinion on this. My day is complete! :)
Does sound like this actor has his head on straight.
Good for Cooter. However, it was not a rebellion. George Washington led a rebellion. The confederates just wanted to go their separate ways. They never tried to overthrow the government.
On Facebook, I have “liked” the Dukes of Hazzard page and you can imagine (predictably so) that a great many people are very upset over the current characterization of the Confederate flag and have expressed such views on that page.
I’m glad that I bought my first two seasons of Dukes on DVD (have one or a couple of episodes taped off TNN from a number of years back as well) when I did, since I’ve read comments here in the past about peoples’ concerns about movies or TV shows being censored or even banned because of a vocal minority and that that show could easily be such a target for that sort of thing. As an example, remember when “Happy Days” originally had “Rock Around the Clock” by Bill Haley as it’s theme song for the first two seasons? Now, the DVD releases have the later theme plastered onto it because of potential copyright infringement issues with the Bill Haley song. “WKRP in Cincinnati” episodes are now edited for the same reason.
Just now ordered a Confederate battle flag shower curtain from Cooter’s place.
This is an American symbol of independence
no, its a Confederate symbol of independence. Its an emblem which represents the Conferate States of America not the United States of America.
the moment we find out that Roof was hearing voices from the Confederate flag which told him to kill people, then it’ll make sense to start talking about getting rid of it.
until then, it’s a piece of cloth attached to American history.
deal with it.
Cooter has far more sense than most of Congress and of any liberal.
Flag suppliers are refusing to sell the Confederate flag under pressure, so he may need to build a whole new supply chain. Will spun polyester suppliers sell to them, etc.
Heard that in real time. Ben Jones rocked and left the reporterette sputtering
I had an orange cat named Cooter back around 1990. Smart, beautiful, and a total love bug.
There are a couple of rappers that use the Confederate flag. Google rap and confederate flag.
I love cooter. :-)
We had 10s of thousands die under that flag, it should be respected for the blood that was sacrificed for it.
I hear quotes all the time that the people who died under it, died to defend slavery based on the pronouncements of a few political elites.
The liberals who believe that would have to believe that every wacky thing that a President says is representative of every public employee and everyone in the Military as well.
I think I’m in love.....
Now the discussion is complete...
