Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday the Confederate battle flag should not be displayed “anywhere,” weighing in as South Carolina lawmakers seek to remove it from the grounds of their statehouse.

The Democratic presidential candidate called the deadly shootings of nine black church members in Charleston, South Carolina, “an act of racist terrorism perpetrated in a house of God.”

Clinton called the Confederate flag a “symbol of our nation’s racist past that has no place in our present or our future. It shouldn’t fly there. It shouldn’t fly anywhere.” …

So what? War is bad. Do not start a War. If you lose- because you are deeply wrong- quit your bs and get right. Or not. Seems like some folks, are lookin’ at the wake and not the ship.

Ummm. Might want to get your facts straight on who “actually” would not back down and struck first in the First American Civil War.

There are many idiots in this country who vote. What they don’t realize is someday someone might run the government that dislikes what they like and will ban it. What goes around, comes around but they’re too stupid to see it.

When the SC ruled the KKK could march in Skokie, Illinois, and the KKK was supported by the ACLU, I was all for them marching. Not because I believed as they believed. But because I knew that if they could shut down the KKK, there would come a day when they can shut down anyone. Now that day is here.

I remember arguing with my brother about being able to burn the American flag. He said “It’s just a piece of cloth.”

I pointed out to him that those burning it didn’t see it as a piece of cloth. Otherwise they would be burning pieces of cloth. However, I still believe they have the right to burn it as a form of free speech. And I should be able to fly the Confederate flag for the same reason.

Thanks, I was very “moved” by your comparison of the Nazi flag with the Confederate battle flag.

"Clinton says Confederate flag has no place in US"

Neither does clinton. Any wandering beyond the witches castle makes her look out of place.

*** I believe in American first and celebrating the Confederate flag is no different that celebrating the Nazi flag.***

And what POLITICAL PARTY did the Nazi flag represent? The National socialists.

What POLITICAL PARTY did the real Confederate flags represent? The DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

You know, I’m still trying to get my head around how the South “lost”. (We didn’t lose. General Lee didn’t have the stomach for the carnage, unlike the North, & surrendered to stop it.) Fighting to be free from an oppressive government is “wrong”?

Considering the asymmetry *in every aspect* of the North over the South, if casualties are the metric for winning, we kicked the living crap out of them
Here are the facts:

Thank you so much to all of the FRiends who are standing up for the South & freedom. God Bless you all.

Losing is term, well defined, by the present.

Yo, “Smartest Woman in the World”, perhaps your overstuffed cranial cavity doesn’t have room to remember that both You and Slick Willie have both used the Confederate Flag in political campaign advertizing, or perhaps you’re merely a dumbass hypocrite.

You are correct. And I can see why you said that because of -my- typo. I meant to say were the metric instead of “are”.

We did, ultimately, lose. Had we kept fighting, we would have most probably won.
