Hey, Pappy. I hear you.
What about this one?
Both are RUSSIAN flags.
Great post, Thank You!
Great post, Thank You!
What’s funny is that 99% of the people doing this belong to the party of the Confederacy.
The Confederate flag issue is but one example of this.

Great Article, thank you for posting it
Great article, only issue is that Woodrow Wilson isn’t worthy of licking dog poo off Puller or Patton’s shoes...
An excellent article.
PROGRESSIVE = REPRESSIVE
I found it reassuring last year when I visited the remote part of Georgia where my daughter lives, and a few Confederate flags were still flying from flagpoles.
Yawn. This is lost cause, unnecessary distraction. The south lost, the nation survived, move on. Those promoting this BS (flame me), often have agenda that ignores the reality of it all. Couching it in terms of family heritage, etc., doesn’t hold water. And saying it all has nothing to do with racism and all, doesn’t work either. All signs of the confederacy are moving to the museum. Help that occur with dignity, else it likely is going to just disappear.
No, you've not been keeping up.
Apparently the democrats who owned slaves, started Jim Crow laws, supported segregation until the 1970s, and formed the KKK were all "secret" republicans.
You know, like George Wallace who on his deathbed in 1998 pledged allegiance to the democratic party.
Gotta keep up with the narrative don't you know.
That's fine so long as they were not flying above the American flag.
My family fought for the Union: 110 IL INF, 183rd OH INF, 15th MO INF and the 2nd IND Cav. It’s not just about the Confederacy. They’re the current target of these left wing wackos. When they’re done with Lee, they’ll move to Reagan. Mark my words.
George Washington was a Democrat? Who knew. But then all of the Founding era slave holders are exempt from neoyankee hatred because they want to be able to claim them.
"started Jim Crow laws"
Like the Black Codes of Lincoln's own Illinois?
But then as you say, gotta keep up with the narrative.
“...The south lost, the nation survived, move on...”
The South won honor by winning many battles against a numerically superior foe. We honor our heroes.
The “nation survived” but as H.L. Mencken put it, what the nation lost (true statehood) it never got back.
The Confederate flag today is a great symbol against political correctness and needs to be displayed. It is a beautiful flag and I will always display it.
Funny to you
Respecting your August 1 inquiry calling attention to my often expressed admiration for General Robert E. Lee, I would say, first, that we need to understand that at the time of the War between the States the issue of secession had remained unresolved for more than 70 years. Men of probity, character, public standing and unquestioned loyalty, both North and South, had disagreed over this issue as a matter of principle from the day our Constitution was adopted.
General Robert E. Lee was, in my estimation, one of the supremely gifted men produced by our Nation. He believed unswervingly in the Constitutional validity of his cause which until 1865 was still an arguable question in America; he was a poised and inspiring leader, true to the high trust reposed in him by millions of his fellow citizens; he was thoughtful yet demanding of his officers and men, forbearing with captured enemies but ingenious, unrelenting and personally courageous in battle, and never disheartened by a reverse or obstacle. Through all his many trials, he remained selfless almost to a fault and unfailing in his faith in God. Taken altogether, he was noble as a leader and as a man, and unsullied as I read the pages of our history.
From deep conviction, I simply say this: a nation of men of Lee’s calibre would be unconquerable in spirit and soul. Indeed, to the degree that present-day American youth will strive to emulate his rare qualities, including his devotion to this land as revealed in his painstaking efforts to help heal the Nation’s wounds once the bitter struggle was over, we, in our own time of danger in a divided world, will be strengthened and our love of freedom sustained.
Such are the reasons that I proudly display the picture of this great American on my office wall.
Sincerely,
Dwight D. Eisenhower
