I’ve heard it said the reason Southerners talk slow is so Northerners can comprehend better. ;)

Finally a voice of common sense. The confederate flag is not a symbol of racism, it’s a symbol of southern pride. Why don’t the politicians speak with this much common sense and wisdom?

Southern pride is no longer permitted. Resistance is futile; you will be assimilated.

You will no longer be allowed to be proud of certain things.
Meanwhile, you will be forced to be proud of other things.

It's time to do away with labels: Caucasian-American, African-American, Asian-American, Native American and so forth.
I'm with you Mr. Daniels, BAN THE DAMN HYPHEN!

The south have become solid Republican in the last 30 years. The Democrats are trying to destroy this block. If they can cause infighting within the south, of split the south from the rest of the country, then they will win.
Notice how the northern Republicans are trying to distance themselves from their "southern brothers?"

Last week we are told we cannot have the battle flag flying, this week we are told to fly rainbow flags and light up places as a rainbow.
They can all go to hell, as I will fly a battle flag and rainbow flag flyers get a piece of my mind

Simple. They don't have this much common sense and wisdom.

Not this northern conservative. I love the south and its values (along with its food!)

The marching band at GA Southern is called ‘Southern Pride’. I was a member, once upon a time. I was also a member of Spirit of Atlanta Drum & Bugle Corps in the middle ‘80s. Our bass drummers stacked their drums at retreat, and hung Confederate Flags. Can’t do that today.

Daniels’ explanation of the flag’s meaning corresponds with mine. I grew up with the imagery of the flag all around. Never even once heard anyone try to connect it to ‘racism’ until well into adulthood.
The hysteria of this past week was a Mao-style attempt at a cultural cleansing. The most sickening aspect was seeing the GOP leaders immediately grovel and cave (which was basically giving legitimacy to the Left’s narrative, and its goal of purging Southern culture). The cowardice by these Republicans is something I’ll never forget. It was like being directly spit in the face, by those who supposedly represent me.

I have received many requests to do interviews on this subject and had a lot of tweets asking me to comment, but I declined, wanting to take the time to explain my feelings in detail, without having to answer other people's loaded questions or express myself in a 140-character limit on Twitter.Charlie is showing the wisdom of his years. I wish more people realized that you don't have to say anything until you're ready to say what you really mean, taking as long as it takes.

Obviously Charlie must be a hater. Uh, no. Anything but. Saw CDB a couple of weeks ago here in Reno. Friggin’ awesome show. When Mr. Daniels started “How Great Thou Art” solo, it brought a tight throat and a teary eye to many folks there. Then the entire band joined in. Simply awesome. His definition of “rednecks” is basically hard working folks who do what they have to do in order to make ends meet. Or if you prefer, blue collar workers.

My husband is a big fan of the Drum & Bugle Corps competition. (I think the inclusion of hoochie-coochie dancers was a mistake.)
You’re right, you can’t do that now. The further we get from slavery and serious racial discrimination, the more petty the agitators get in their attempt to keep hostilities alive.
