So damn the 1st amendment, let's take a poll and decide who gets to speak.
I hope this veterans' day parade tanks. Hold an alternative one somewhere else.

I don’t do parades much anymore, too much PC intrusion.

99% of those Klansmen were Democrats. Maybe even Robert Byrd (D-West Virginia) was among them.
To: SoFloFreeper
Well, they could carry the 1st, 2nd or 3rd National.

And Obama and his Administration are a palpable and active sign of the country’s racist PRESENT.
Can we abolish him, too?

The Marxist have this consistent theme of shutting down speech they don’t like. Wonder how many “conservatives” also support this?

No Problem, Everyone show up in a flag tee shirt.

Hmmm . . . I don’t fly the Confederate flag, and I don’t fly the 1860 Union flag. I prefer the 50-state stars and strips, which I fly every day.
Just my own preference.

The Bonnie Blue Flag would probably be better.

99% is probably a low-ball estimate. :)

The Gay Pride flag is welcome but the Southern Pride flag is banned. Typical. Is that homophobic or racsist or anything on my part? Sure don’t want to offend anyone.

NEXT UP: All references to heroic soldiers from WW2 to be banned. Why? Because they smoked cigarettes!
To: SoFloFreeper
How about this for a compromise. All those veterans that fought for the Confederacy are welcome to carry the Confederate flag in the parade. 8^)

I prefer this one anyway.

Can't go wrong with this one, either.

Good thing that flag never had any slaves working under it..
