South Florida Times ^ | 06/12/09 | Elgin Jones

Civil rights groups on Thursday put city and business leaders here on a 30-day notice that unless they meet a list of demands – including a ban on the display of the Confederate flag at taxpayer-funded events – they will be subjected to protests and boycotts.

I think the Florida chapter of the NAACP should ask their brothers in South Carolina how well their boycott is going...

Hey it going great here.. I haven't seen a chicken bone on the beach in years ...

Their arrogance is unbelievable. All of this because the Sons of Confederate Veteran’s march in a parade honoring veterans.

Good for you! I have a collection of Southern pride Tshirts. Its fun to watch the libs read what my Tshirt says, then frown with disapproval. I have one that says. “My soul belongs to God but my heart belongs to Dixie” and one says “Dixie Mama and proud of it”. Another one says “Put your heart in Dixie or get your @$$ out”. The “heart” is represented by a heart and the “@$$” is represented by a donkey. That one is my favorite.

Have you’all noticed the increase in documentarys on TV about the KKK and white supremacist groups since the election of The One? They find the most extreme cases they can find and they always portray them as being Rightwing. Makes a person almost think they are trying to turn the public against the Right. But of course they wouldn’t do that. (sarc)

LOL

I have a long list of folks that should never try to tell me what to do or not do....NAACP would be near the top of that list.

Thanks for the reminder, fools, I’ll be buying the flag.

Ain’t it great to live in a formerly free country? The founders are spinning in their graves, knowing they pledged their “lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor” for a nation of COWARDS who give in to every threat, every nut group, and every thug with a microphone. What a disgrace.

....race based wars of secession/partition are a global reality...in time they will come here too....multi-cultural empires come apart with violence....see Thomas Chittum’s “Civil War Two: The coming break up of America”

THUGocracy, again?

History, not hate. When will these people learn?

I propose saying "okay" and then using one of the National flags of the Confederacy instead.

First Confederate Flag
Second Confederat Flag
Third Confederate Flag

"...Except the bloomin' liberal idiot, Ted Danson..."

Little known fact: Ted Danson has only one pectoral muscle. It was a birth defect. That explains much of the "why would he end up with that Predator lokkalike" question.

I don’t own a Confederate flag and I’m not from the South, but I may have to get one in response to the naaccp boycott

“I think the Florida chapter of the NAACP should ask their brothers in South Carolina how well their boycott is going…”

Speaking of the NAACCP’s South Carolina boycott, I am leaving tomorrow for a 2-week vacation in the great state of South Carolina - as I have every year for the past 5 years.

Thanks for mentioning Chittums’s website. I haven’t been there in years. I remember some great articles and analysis about the coming war and eventual split into different nations. I’ll go check it out again...
