Over the past several months, the NAACP has launched a campaign against the Confederate Battle Flag by protesting its presence at the South Carolina statehouse. Governor Nikki Haley did not respond to the demands of the NAACP to remove it. In a similar matter, black protesters have called for the removal of the Battle Flag from a Georgian cemetery that happens to have interred the bones of Confederate soldiers. And now, most recently, Republican presidential candidate Governor Rick Perry of Texas has become the newest target of the NAACP over whether the Battle Flag should appear on license plates. In the end, Perry decided against the idea.

I have no problem referencing Cump. His methods of war were designed to inflict maximum punishment on his enemy and break its will to fight. His success hastened the end of the war and the bloodletting. Unlike General Lee who sacrificed men on both sides for honor and a cause that was lost the moment Grant moved South after The Wilderness and it became a war of attrition. As to your reference material. None of it is unfamiliar to me, and I do not run from it. In fact I, as the descendant of a warrior of the Army of the Potomac, wish those sentiments had informed the strategic vision of its generals. As to making it an issue, read my “so be it” comment. Opining about the issue and insisting that others agree are two entirely different things. If you want to fly your color I’ll support no effort to prevent you.
Apologies for double post.
I’m not ‘’non-Sequitur’’, who ever he/she is, slavery WAS what the damn war was about, I’m not a racist and you are about the stupidest , bigoted thing the Good Lord ever put the breath into. If you won’t stand behind these colors(The Stars and Stripes) then you need to find another flag in another country .
Dude, WTF! It's a little early to be hitting the bottle that hard.
Contradiction? Were you born stupid or do you work at it? It’s a simple statement of historical fact that were people were enslaved under the Stars and Stripes that the Stars and Bars. It’s a fact. A tragic one for sure but it’s a fact none the less.
Dude, I gave that sh!t up 21 years ago. Maybe you ought to look in the mirror. Have a nice Thanksgiving.
I have . . and I do hit the sauce pretty hard on occasion, but never before noon. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Pretty flag. Happy Thanksgiving
In the discussions about tha Battle Flag, I’ve always found it interesting that few, if any, comment that, except for the civil war years, those Confederate states were under “Old Glory!” So, where’s the call to ban the “Red, White and Blue?”
The Muslims sold the Africans into slavery. Yeah, the religion of peace. Guess they’re not as blameless as some would have you believe!
Posting drunk again?
“The NAACP brings up the CBF whenever they feel their relevance is threatened. “
You nailed it. This is always their issue for fund drives, media drives, and voting drives.
Love that flag!
bump
What does the flag of Africa look like?
I should have said flags of Africa. You can do a google search to locate them.
A response by non-Sequitur was “my baptism under fire”
here at FR....Only then did I realize, I hit a nerve.
Liberals hate FACTS..that can prove their Ideology wrong
#1 state your facts..
#2 they become “Offended”
then if the facts prove true...
#3...that’s racist (or) you are is the standard reply
(#3 is so you shut up and end conversation before others do the research and come to the conclusion they have been lied too all this long)
See it all the time with left wing moonbats...
Simple test...ask a left wing moonbat if they knew MLK was a republican...watch the 3 steps shown above in action!
I remember him. He was a real jerk.
I don’t hit the sauce any more dude, one day at a time, can’t tell ya how much I don’t miss it. You might want to give it a try yourself. Happy Thanksgiving to you.
