Imagine if you will a nutty nut nutty kid on psychotropic drugs and a cabal of who knows who wanting to get rid of guns and the confederate flag. Somebody plants an idea in a kid’s head an points him in the right direction. No that could never ever happen.

I’d like to see you gone. Find a better website, one that suits you. You like to hang out with cool conservative crowd but when push cones to shove you cave to PC, boot lickers like you can KMA.

Even if Jim Robinson himself believed that the Confederate flag should be flown, I don't think he would take kindly to the way you carry a conversation with a Conservative Christian that has been a Freeper since 2001.

I am saying mostly that for Democrats to criticize this flag and paint is as a Republican problem is absurd...since the governor who put it on the dome was a Dem and the governor who took it off the dome, but left it on the capitol grounds, was a Republican.

....so that yes, some Republicans have been in favor of getting rid of it. Some not.

Northerner or Southerner - it does not matter. What matters is whether or not he was a Demorat. Demorats have changed; they've change for the worse! the Southern Demorats went North, East and West. They still are trying to enslave everyone

long live the Christian Conservative South!

What if the next drugged-up idiot who shoots something up has a pic with a UN flag? Will there be calls to ban that?

What’s worse?

What you accuse him or her of?

Or spineless Quislings?

You think if you play nice blacks will love you and GOP wins

And that fixes it

You’re weak

I don’t know what’s “worse,” but I do know that this site does not tolerate white supremacists. On numerous occasions, the scumbags from over at Stormfront (and other like-minded sites) have tried to pollute this site with their filth. They are not welcome here.

Evidently the powers that be aren’t buying your accusation against Altura Ct. because he’s still here.

That, or it’s not been brought to their attention. His (or her) posting history is crystal clear.:

- Support for white supremacist organizations (and I mean actual white supremacist organizations - the KKK, CofCC, etc.).

- Language taken directly from white supremacist groups and forums (”wake up white people,” “white quislings,” etc.).

- Numerous instances where he openly and explicitly advocates for segregation/separation of the races.

Like I said, crystal clear. Heck, he has all but admitted it (and certainly has not denied it).

Yes, he is.

Are you going to carry a proper debate, or are you going to just through ad hominems and lies? Otherwise, don't waste your or my time.
