Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird - 7/2/1977 - Oakland Coliseum Stadium
youtube.com ^ | 9/24/14 | Lynyrd Skynyrd on MV

Thought I would post this because this is Lynyrd Skynyrd playing in front of a huge Confederate flag in 1977 which you can see more clearly around the 7 second mark, and to me, I take this flag as more of symbol of Southern pride than of racism. These guys absolutely worshipped black blues guitar players and musicians, were they racist? Hell no. This just goes to show that things change, which is exactly what Democrats keep telling us anytime the history of the Democratic party is brought up. "Oh, it's not the same party it was 100 years ago..things change" but oh, now suddenly the flag of Southern pride means the same as it did in the 1860s.

Back then California could almost be considered a Red State. It wasn’t the one party people’s republic it became.

“MYTH - The War of 1861 - 1865 was fought over slavery.

FACT - Terribly untrue. The North fought the war over money. Plain and simple.”

That’s communist claptrap.

Sort of thing published in Commie propaganda rags like Revolutionary Worker.

I would repost that because a lot of it is garbage.

It doesn’t really educate anyone on anything, nor defend the Stars and Bars.

It’s just weird.

Should be: “I would NOT repost that because a lot of it is garbage.”

Just what I was thinking, there’s not one bad looking woman in that entire video. But then again, it’s Southern rock so there’s probably not that many liberals there.

Has Santana apoligized yet? He’s as leftist as they come.
