Don't forget that Zero himself refused to salute the Stars and Stripes or wear a lapel pin.
The Confederate flag should come down. That flag and what it stood for resulted in 618,000 soldier deaths and thousands more injured by hideous wounds and losses of limbs. Few today fully appreciate that the second worst thing that can happen is to have a war fought in your native land.
Confederate flag is also Southern Heritage and is nothing about race! I wear a small confederate flag on a neck chain when I am assured it will be appreciated in the RIGHT company.
ok so they are upset about the rebel flag and they do not understand history then.
ever since the supposed reconstruction southerners have been told not to fly their flag.
over am couple of hundred thousand have died for that flag,.
The NAACP are just too thick to understand the flag and have to make it a race issue but they forgot the biggest race riot was not in the south, it was not the south or the rebel flag which flew over slave ships and it was not that flag what went west to take lands away from certain people and kill them ..
I fly the flag on my car and at my house outside and I hope others will and it is not because of obama winning but I know I never want my children joining the military under obama, ever .
People have died for it and the least I can do is put up with a few ignorant dumb arse comments though I have yet to hear one here in north Florida
The VanDivers were able to get out information on ACORN, Obamas marxist ideas, etc. through a mainstream media vehicle.
More power to them.
Yep, and if it took flying that flag to get people’s attention as to what is happening in this country, that’s fine with me.
I’d bet that if Thomas Sowell was elected POTUS, they’d have no problem with that.
I don't normally point our an error; however, here I must.
“sound principals” above must read “sound principles.”
The real question is will the owners have the right to fly this flag come December of 2009?
I fly mine now and it was before obama, there is one on my car too and if some ignorant no history educated northern liberal feels insulted then I am insulted about their lack of history and they can go back up north .
I will gladly pay for their gas too to help them go back up north from Fl
The statement from the owners make it clear that they have a good idea of what it represents and are fully aware of the significance of their action.
You don’t do something like this unless you actually stand behind the action and are ready for the repercussions.
His property, he can do what he wants.

It takes two to tango. Someone had to fight the CSA. Whom was that and what flag was it? Obviously that one should come on down too.
LOL true
fly the battle flag and northern liberals and the NAACP show their ignorance , have a stars and bars they have no idea what the flag is
LOL
one rich rich stinking liberal no knowledge of history rich guy once asked me in new york what the flag sticker was on my car, so I told him it was an historical flag, he replies he looks good.
LOL the funny thing is that he had no idea
here here and I fly it with pride
Anyone who is offended by it can bite me. I'm offended by their ignorance and stupidity and the fact that they have turned the USA into a socialist nation.
I am a member of the Society of the Descendants of the Signers of the Constitution, and thank you for your feistiness, sir.
If you like senic drives the ride up "The Pigtrail" from Ozark to Eureka Sprigs is real nice and goes right past the Faubus in Huntsville. Governor Faubus was the one who stood the door of the Little Rock Highschool a few decades ago.
should not come down ever and mine will not.
first I do not know what you mean what it stood for but if you know history then you would know it was over tax’s and not the liberal northern dumb uneducated view point of slavery.
Even Lincoln made that very clear.
as for war in this country the there was more than one, remember the Apache, Cherokee, infact the 6 nations for the confederacy, Sioux, lakota etc etc.
that was not the battle flag
plus the battle flag was flown to distinguish the two sides in battle, it was not used at first nor was it even made up at that time.
I wished they taught more history , proper historical history in schools.
I had a child who went to school in Boston for a couple of years not too long ago and I was disgusted by the lack of knowledge of people in the north over the war between the states
The people who complain about the flag show themselves up over the issue, as one bumper sticker said in the south I saw,
if you are insulted by my flag then I am insulted by your lack of history
when I say about history being taught in schools or lack of . most people in this country think it was revere who warned people the red coats were coming, most people think it was a massacre in Boston, etc etc.
how many times up north do they ever teach about the supposed reconstruction and how some whites were not allowed to vote for 10 years but blacks were, southerners were killed for singing dixie and flying their flag meanwhile they had lands taken away
, women and girls raped, men killed, farms robbed etc etc
so sad that teachers or most anyway are just too PC
When NASCAR would come to town there would be a sea of rebel flags and then something happened.
I’ll try to get a photo of it. I need to remember to grab a digital camera.
To Southerners, the Confederate flag represents states’ rights. The fact that the right of secession was denied to the South will insure that there is no right of secession to anyone for any reason anytime, anyplace, anywhere, EVER. - The true reason for the Civil War was $$$$$$$$$$$$, not for the now touted “slavery” as the real reason. (Lincoln only freed the slaves in the South, not the North in the Emancipation Proclamation.)
uneducated northern liberal
there changed it to read what I meant.
what dale JR won?
