The controversy over the display of the Confederate flag in the wake of the killing of nine black church members in Charleston, S.C., has reached the annual Union County Veterans Fourth of July Parade in Lewisburg.

The 18th North Carolina Co. A re-enactors have been asked not to display the Confederate flag if it marches, parade chairman Kevin Bittenbender said Friday. The parade is scheduled to step off at 10 a.m. Saturday.

The decision was made following a discussion by the parade committee's executive board, he said. He understands there will be some opposed to the decision, he said.

Just don’t show up! It was a one sided fight by the Union with it’s self.

[burghguy]

I see what you did there. I hope you are wrong, but I increasingly believe it is inevitable.

Lewisburg is where you find Bucknell U.
It’s infested with leftists. Worshippers of Che and Gaea.
Stroll around there some day and ask simple questions. Makes Watters World imbeciles look smart.

Give no answer, march with it anyway, and march with fixed bayonets. If someone comes to physically take it down, give ‘em the steel.

My ancestors from that part of PA wore the blue uniforms but I am disgusted by this insanity......

[DanielRedfoot]

I demand they remove every reference to or memorial of slavery.

We need to teach children that it never happened. Then everybody will be happy

[popdonnelly]

This is ridiculous.

[WKUHilltopper]

How about just use a rainbow flag...

[sima_yi]

What are they going to show then, a big empty white square?

Perhaps with the word Censored on it?

[BuffaloJack]

I suppose they could march with the Stars and Bars instead of the Battle Flag.

[conservativegranny]

Do you know who has used that word frequently? Scott Walker.

[conservativegranny]

Exactly. Give them no response. Show up for the parade and when they start to march unfurl those flags. What are they going to do about it?

We need to fight back not back down.

And there's the problem. Try as they may, history cannot be changed.

So if there was no flag and there were no soldiers, does that mean there was no war no controversy,no slavery? If so what are the highly tanned people upset about?

[Delta 21]

Same thing as always. That they cant have it both ways.

[JimRed]

OK, as soon as the homosexuals agree to leave the rainbow at home.

[JimRed]

Reeducation camps are for those who choose to go. For those who don't, they get to choose between the firing squad, the guillotine, or the gas chamber.

The answer, of course, is to identify those WHO WILL BE GIVING THE ORDERS to give us that "choice'. Find out who they are locally, where they live and work, their travel habits and recreation. They must have "accidents" or simply disappear.

Cut off the head, the snake will die.

[JimRed]

What if they make a “rainbow” version of the flag?

Burn the fag flag.
