The Confederate flag could easily rise again as an important symbol for slavery...a new slavery...a symbol of the huge loss of individual freedoms we are all experiencing daily. That the Confederate flag is already seen as a symbol for slavery by the people , and now having it banned, is a perfect storm for this as a new symbol for these times. It is coming to represent the new nanny state slavery ... PC, invasive personal “rules”, foods we cannot eat, the taking over of mud puddles in our back yards, banning coal for “global warming” (a hoax)..... the list is long and growing longer each day. I have purchased a Confederate flag ... and when SC takes it down from the Confederate Memorials (the only place it is flying on government land) that will be the signal for me to begin flying the flag protesting my own personal Neo-slavery. Yes I live in SC, but I am from Indiana ... so this isn’t a “southern” thing. This flag, showing up in the north would be even more symbolic. I do believe this symbol for slavery will rise again, protesting a kind of slavery equally as dangerous as with no Lincoln in the wings to set us free. And once again, history is proving the liberals and Democrats are the slave masters as they have always been throughout history."
Excellent post and bears repeating.
Today, the Confederate Flag represents a valiant fight against tyranny and oppression, and of course, slavery.
I think I will fly the Confederate flag on that day they outlaw it every year.
With the issues of gay cakes, people push out of the military, insults for my religious beliefs at work, and harassments for not approving of gay relationships, I am not certain if the US Flag is my flag anymore. I am not sure if the republican party is my party anymore.
