After hearing calls to remove statues of Robt E. Lee, and to stop screening "Gone With The Wind" I'm surprised that they haven't already targeted the BIGGEST Confederate Battle Flag in the world.
Erected in 2008, it's 50' x 30' and the flagpole is so tall it can be seen from several counties.
Click here for the background and pictures.
This folks, is BIG, literally and figuratively, and I predict will become a current day Ft. Sumter. I fully expect activists to try and storm it, and tear it down. It's surprising that nobody's well "noticed" it as yet.. That won't last long..
And all the 2016 GOP candidates for the WH are going to have to chime in...
They’ll do it. So they look “inclusive”.
Buckhorn, according to the news, has already said it needs to come down.
That flag is on private property. If it’s forced down all freedom of speech will be dead. It will be just the beginning.
The media is responsible for opening a huge can of whoopa$$ - there’ll be a rebellion and not what they were expecting.
It won’t/shouldn’t.
That is the Democratic Pary Flag from the mid 1800s
...And a symbol of historical American defiance, like it or not.
Not only what it was, but what its become.
Florida’s Confederate Flag = Freedom of Speech’s last stand?
Next thing you know, playing Skynyrd will be a punishable “micro-aggression”.
The huge confederate flag on RT75 Tampa is on private property and I believe it was already a resolved issue, where it was declared free speech. Pretty much the same as the college student who had a nazi flag hanging on his dorm window on LI NY. I am sure that the yellow Gadstone Flag will also be deemed racist by certain elements of our once great society. Just a mater of time.
Fk em all.I just ordered 5 new Confederate flags for my lake dock in Pa.I also fly the Don’Tread on Me.This is from an ex teacher oef 35 years who was surrounded by idiots in The People’s Republic of New Jersey.
I drive past that flag every day.
A gigantic middle finger.
I hope it becomes a rally point.
The point I was making that EVERY GOP candidate who comes to Florida will be asked/cajoled into voicing an opinion..
Really drive ‘em nutty and add a Christian flag
There is a huge Confederate flag near the site of the 2016 Republican convention? How very fortunate for the Democrat party.
Why not the Dem candidates having to chime in? Huh?
It’s THEIR FLAG. They are the party of racism, slavery, KKK, segregation, Jim Crow, etc.
