The flag has come to mean "rebel" over the last half century, as much as its historical meaning, and is only recently being sold to the people as "racist" by those who are making a good living selling soap between segments of biased "news". That same media are the ones who tried to foment riots, led to Zimmerman having a price on his head (NBP: $10K dead or alive), and this, along with allegations of "racism" by a gun shop owner who refuses to sell to Muslims, is thumbing their noses at the media.
I would rather look upon a Confederate Battle flag than a lot of the things that pass for "art" out there. Besides, some of my ancestors and relatives fought under that standard.
As for sports "heroes", you would compare them with people who placed their lives on the line to defend their homes and families? The one out there right now all over the media isn't even known for sports so much as being "transgendered".
That to me is plenty to rebel against.
I like it!
I guess he can’t sing or dance.
The MSM got into your head, rent free.
“But, he has no clue what normal is. His brain is broken.”
Horsecrap. The man took a stand and is still taking arrows from the Marxist gun grabbers to uphold our right to defend ourselves against thugs. What’s wrong with that?
there is something “off” about him. to deny that is to deny the obvious. whether or not he was justified in shooting that punk kid who was assaulting him does not give him a perpetual “get out of jail free” card. he simply needs to go off the grid and live a quiet life somewhere and become a footnote to history like Bernie Goetz.
