I’m pretty sure the goobermint lacks the authority necessary to make that demand.

You mean the 'legal' authority ?

Shoot, people, look the flag up in an old encyclopedia and make your own with you know...FABRIC. Surely there are people who can sew a flag.

Name one thing that Obama has been accused of that he didn’t do.

It’s probably the most heavily trolled website I’ve ever seen, worse than here — which is saying something. If you can stomach the stench, it can be a useful source of decent information.

They recall what the Clinton admin did to Microsoft when Bill Gates didn't see any reason why he should have to play ball with the government. Threat of antitrust suit that set off the collapse of the tech bubble.

When I called, yesterday, my foreign representative told me he had no idea why - nor had he heard anything about - the confederate flags being removed. (I chuckled when I had to spell confederate for him.)

I said, “well, they’re being removed, as listings, as we speak”. He said, “I am so sorry...I will report this to management. They normally post something on the homepage, when we remove items, like this”.

I thought the same thing. That recording wasn’t extremely convincing to me. Aside from the things you mention, he told her he was mad at Amazon and might cancel his accounts unless it was something the government made them do, and then all of a sudden she’s all over that, “Oh yeah, the government made us do it.”

Yep, no surprise though. We saw this coming. Obamas agenda IS the complete destruction of the United States, that is his “change” Democrats in all their brilliance put the freakin’ enemy in the nations highest office and it may just succeed because the majority of people don’t believe it. You know what will happen next? They will go after the Founding fathers, destroy the statues and paintings using the excuse that they owned slaves and then go after the constitution claiming it was written by racists. This is going into overdrive now the closer we come to 2016. That’s why I don’t buy into that story that kid killed 9 blacks. Oh I’m sure he did it, but someone goaded him into it. All you need is one mentally ill or weak minded person who can be convinced to do anything. All his friends said he wasn’t racist, he had black friends and all of a sudden he is a racist killer? It just is a tad too coincidental that something like that would happen while this administration has been pushing racism for the past few years, just a tad too advantageous for the Obama agenda for that to happen. This punk in the White house is trying to push the country off the cliff, past the point of no return.

Just mind your p’s & q’s for the sake of your computer. I lost my first Compaq in the 2004 “transition”. I lost my G4 Mac years later to a specific poster on another highly popular CT site. I swore them off after that.

I called Amazon at 1-888-280-3321. A man who clearly spoke English listened to my rant. I was proud of my ‘speech’ because I stayed on point and he actually listened. I feel good that I spoke up for freedom, including THE FREEDOM TO OFFEND.

I don’t buy it.

I could believe it, but not with this weak evidence.

A regular support guy actually knows this? Give me a break. Talking out of his butt, probably, and making assumptions.

The Government ordered them to? What is this Communist China or Venezuala?

Suddenly, all these retailers woke up on the same day and decided that they needed to stop selling the Confederate flag?

(saw your post #38, proust)

The Gadsen Flag is also on that short list.
