If it’s ok to ban the Rebel Flag, which by the way was a battle flag, then why do we allow people to fly the Nazi flag?

In Germany, the Nazi flag and the Swastika, the political symbols of the Nazis, are banned.

However, the Iron Cross, which was and is the symbol of the German warrior and equivalent to the Confederate Battle Flag, is still in use as the honored symbol of the German warrior.


Iron Crosss, World War One Era


Iron Crosss, World War Two Era


Iron Crosss, Post-World War Two Era

Once you allow the race baiters to demonize the Confederate Battle Flag, Old Glory is next.

Does the American Flag Symbolize Freedom or Racism? ..... To most, the American flag symbolizes freedom. To Tennessee state Rep Henri Brooks it means something else. It represents the former colonies that enslaved our ancestors

Well, that didn't take long.

To the liberal mind, it is a very short distance from

Confederate Battle Flag = Nazi

Old Glory = Nazi

5/24/07 | ...... U.S. Flag Blasted by United Methodist Official ...... a leader in the United Methodist Church has called for the removal of U.S. flags from the denomination's churches. Minister Clayton Childers of the Capitol Hill-based United Methodist Board of Church and Society said the presence of a national flag can imply endorsement of national policies, which often are counter to the teachings of Christ. Childers even noted that the Swastika flag was displayed prominently in German churches during the Nazi era. ........Mark Tooley is with the Institute on Religion and Democracy (IRD). "Obviously," he notes, "there are a number of serious problems with that Nazi-American analogy

I read an account by a kid who had helped save a couple of RAF flyers who bailed out over his town, and he described how American infantrymen had come through the town the next year and taken his father’s WWI Iron Cross from the house. It made me very sad that they had done that.
