The Rebel flag is dear to my heart and the former Confederate states are the most Republican and conservative part of the country. The radical Unionist states are now the most communist part of the country. Only the deep South with its Rebel flags had the sense to go for Goldwater over Johnson in 1964 and Goldwater won my state by a landslide. Maybe you should quit bashing our battle flag. Or maybe you enjoy being on BLM’s side and kowtowing to them.

I've lived all my life in Alabama. I'm about as southern as it gets. And I've never voted for the party of slavery and segregation.

We should let the Democrats own their legacy of secession and slavery. The Republican party was created by Christian abolitionists. It's not a regional association (i.e. because we're southerners we're confederates). It's an ideological association and the Democrats are still ideological obsessed with their belief that the races are unequal. Don't let the Dims trick you into wearing their symbol of the racial oppression that they're guilty of. Don't let the Dims trick you into protecting their statues of their Democrat confederate heroes. We are Christians first and one of the most chest thumping worthy events in Christian history is when the Second Great Awakening succeeded in freeing the slaves from the Democrats and their "scientific racism" (the phrase they used then for what today we call "Darwinism").

If us Alabamians can still talk about Bama winning the 1993 Sugar Bowl and winning the 1992 national championship over the loud mouthed #1 Miami Hurricanes, then us Christians ought to be able to loudly proclaim our side won the argument over Democrats and slavery. I have family who moved to Florida, raised kids there, and taught their kids, who never lived in Alabama, to be die hard Bama fans. That's because to them it's not about their local region (Florida). It's about who they've always been. They'll be the last ones to wear a Miami Hurricanes cap when Miami plays Bama in the season opener this year.

Are us Christians in the south going to keep wearing the Democrats' battle flag? That battle flag represents the losers in the Second Great Awakening's win over slavery.
