If he cares that much, why is he a democrat?
I might, just might, maybe, vote demonrat for the first time in my life if he gets their nomination.
He’s 100% right.
If anything should be banned - BAN THE DEMORAT PARTY !!!
Like being agreed with by Charles Manson...
Just another smear by association.
At last a voice of reason, probably be smothered
in short order.
Not many on my side
I’ll take it
No surprise RINOs first to fold is it?
What has incorrectly become known as “The Confederate Flag” is actually the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia...
Sometimes referred to as “The Southern Cross” or “The Cross of St Andrew”, and reflects the Scots-Irish heritage of the people of Appalachia and other regions of the South...
During Reconstruction, the flag became synonymous with the Ku Klux Klan and a symbol of racism against Southerm Blacks...Incorrectly, since the Klan also used the symbol of The Cross, and as yet I’ve never heard The Cross of Jesus connected with racism against Blacks...
People see what they want to see...
Take a look at “Born Fighting: How the Scots-Irish Shaped America” by Jim Webb...Many valuable insights into the people and times for the curious and intellectually honest...
This confederate flag stuff is just theater. Banning the confederate flag will not stop racism or prevent any future massacres of people by a nut case.
That being said, I don’t support flying the confederate flag on government buildings. Regardless of why certain individuals fought or how they fought in the War Between the States, it can not be ignored that if the confederacy had won, slavery would have continued. The confederate flag was a symbol for a government that accepted slavery as fine and that government was defeated, thankfully. Therefore, remove it from government buildings.
Now if private citizens want to fly it, fine, go for it, but as a conservative, I see nothing positive or “team building” in flying the old symbol of the confederacy on our current government buildings.
end of my two cents
Hmmm
I see Jim Webb as a POS, but he’s right on this one.
