Do you really think you are going to
insult people into agreeing with you?
Have you ever wondered about the source of your obsession with the Confederate Battle Flag?
I don't think it is actually your Confederate/Southern heritage, or you'd really appreciate the "new" flag - it is based on the actual, real, official flag of the Confederate States of America.
The 1956 flag was created as a spiteful, "We'll show THEM!" symbol, and it still has that meaning for those who are trying to get it restored.
Most of us are not spiteful or hateful, and we don't have time for spite and hate in others.
We know that the current flag honors our heritage without hurting the feelings of those who've been harmed by those who "hijacked" the CBF to use as a racist symbol. We don't want to hurt their feelings either. We wouldn't mind a little "in your face" to the politically correct crowd, but the current flag does that, too.
It's a win-win, except for a few of you (mostly non-Georgia residents) who aren't happy unless you are stirring up spite and hate.
There is no need to wonder about the source of my "obsession with the Confederate Battle Flag." I am well aware of the source. When this country was founded as a union of sovereign states it was understood that there was a right to leave the union. It never would have passed if that wasn't understood. 3 States including New York and Virginia even expressly withheld that right when they ratified it. Latter when the Southern States chose to excise that option and did so legally and peacefully, Lincoln illegally invaded and shredded the Constitution in the process. 600,000 + died in Lincoln's illegitimate and bloody war. And don't think for one second that the Yankee lie that it was all to free the slaves is correct. Monumental amounts of historical evidence disputes that. It was to save the precious Union which is a pretty poor reason for getting more than half a million people killed.
Am I motivated by hate? You be the judge. I hate tyranny. I hate oppression. I hate injustice. I hate wanton slaughter and destruction. Perhaps I am motivated by hate.
Am I motivated by spite. You bet I am. I'll take every opportunity I can get to spite my Yankee oppressors and the grave injustice they enacted and are still pursuing.
If you were any kind of Southerner, you would be equally motivated by hate and spite.
