• A bid to take flag down from city's government complex has been rejected
• Organizer said it 'doesn't symbolize hate unless you think it's hate'

Thousands of supporters of the Confederate flag have risen up - creating an eight-mile convoy of cars, motorbikes and pick-ups all displaying the controversial symbol.

Horns blared and flags fluttered from the 1,500 vehicles taking part in the Florida Southern Pride Ride on Sunday.

Protesters against the parade fired at least six gunshots towards the convoy but no one was injured, reported wftv.

“and yet the confederate constitution immediately legalizes slavery. There was not a wait for decades for it to be included.”

Your reply is nonsensical, slavery was legal under the existing US Constitution. A slave was a slave wherever he resided per the Dred Scott decision.

Those guys were terrible. The atrocities that happened under Sherman were especially bad.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

No problem with it. It just keeps the Confederate government from legislating on that issue. It doesn’t keep the states from doing so. After all, that is a State issue, not a federal one.

So you're still too afraid to give an answer. That speaks volumes in itself, doesn't it little man.

Why don't you ask some of your South-hater pals to help bail you out of your quandary? As soon as you come up with an answer you won't have to run away from the question.

Maybe they can tell you why that if ending slavery was the summum bonum in 1860 it's worthy of being ignored in 1779

Britain declared slaves free twice during the Revolution, once in Dunmore's Proclamation of 1775 and then again in the Philpsburg Proclamation of 1779.

In light of this which side deserved to win? Tell us your answer.

Americans are already well aware of the campaign to ethnically cleanse the South of all memory of the Confederacy. What they don't understand is that your comrades have no intention of stopping there and that the Founders are next.

Those proclamations have been and will be used by the forces of political correctness to discredit America right from its beginning. It's why the PC crowd refuse to deal with them right now, they don't want to tip their hand before it's time for that campaign to begin.

Obama's not the lone America hater, he's got plenty of little helpers and even some useful idiots in the GOPe. And erasing the Confederacy is only a start for them.

First, I am NOT a man.

Second, you do a poor job in defending the confederate flag as you respond with insults & distractions. A curious person would be left with no answers as to why you support the confederate flag and confederate monuments. Responding to questions about the confederacy by pointing to the british or the US is not an answer.

Finally, since you won’t address the confederate constitution and its pro-slavery article then its pointless to respond to your distractions.

[Dante3]

Exactly. Nikki Haley’s hatred for even a battle flag was obvious.

[Salamander]

“First, I am NOT a man.”

One way or another, that was a given.

[RginTN]

Lol, was it the way I argued???/ LOL!!!

[Pelham]

And where exactly is the insult, little NOT-a-man?

So what about those British emancipations? Is it that your objections to slavery are opportunistic rather than philosophical? How is that emancipation is a war justifying act in the 1860s but not 90 years earlier?

Do you know of some innovative moral imperative that only becomes in a effect at a certain date in history? Is slavery only deserving of destruction by force in 1860? Why not in 1779?

Awaiting your reply, NOT-a-man.

[Salamander]

Wow.

I simply could not have aimed any lower.

Probably around 3 or 4AM, that will suddenly make sense.

[Salamander]

Sometimes, a female’s larger corpus callosum creates conflicted mental processes rather than affording superior reasoning.

This is become pointless, now.

[RginTN]

Wow.

I simply could not have aimed any lower.

Probably around 3 or 4AM, that will suddenly make sense.

You mean higher. Conservative women are the stronger sex. See Sarah Palin.

[PLMerite]

"That being said that the honor of all these flag need to be protected if you want to keep them...you do not stand around and let a KKK or Nazi or groups like them co-opt them..."

You mean like this?

[RginTN]

And where exactly is the insult, little NOT-a-man?

Geeze, how OLD are you! My 6 year old niece can make a better response than yours!!!

[MaxMax]

And Americans don't run from gunfire, we run towards it. Those "protesters" or
whatever they're called have not one clue about the trouble they'll be in
during a SHTF situation, or a call to action. And they cannot outrun
a bullet.

[tophat9000]

Yes I do mean like that or you like see them dishonor your flag

[wardaddy]

You got your ass handed to you RagingNotinTN

You’re gonna need to go change your pants again

And your misleading username yankee boy

Pitiful

Now go run ask Rocky or Tonk or Bubba or whatever your buttbuddies call themselves today about what to do next

But first I want to thank you for making my day

See this is what happens to children when they play make believe too much

If you were a rational person who understood the nuances of historical conflict you wouldn’t find yourself painted into the corner publicly humiliated like you do now

These are very grave times for you to stay on a conservative forum and pretend young man

[RginTN]

Hmm, this is a Conservative site not a Confederate site.

Those who defended the Confederate flag failed to do so as they couldn’t explain the confederate constitution support for slavery.

Your friends failed and got their asses handed to them by a lady who read the confederate constitution.

Perhaps you should go back to your confederate meetings and learn how to explain your support for its flag.

[wardaddy]

That’s all you ever have

Like in the old days back when you lived in your dads or granddads scrotum bunk bed with your fellow tads

We had toys ....video games did not exist

Hero toys like Johnny West or GI Joe

Well you could pull a cord and they would say something theme appropriate

You remind me of that..,.,one note.,,,it’s all you’re here for...to call folks racist and swell with lost vindication or validation?

Who knows why since your whole persona here is subterfuge

That means..,.hidden....or untruthful

If you have an issue with defenders of the south here who resist this purge of our history which flew on the wings of monkeys from your own butt

Then feel free to call Jim Robinson or any moderator

I would be EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE going toe to toe with you and your what culture war comrades in as public a view as you’d like

Let Fresno and/or the forum decide who they prefer

Southern Conservatives or those who despise us

I’m begging you to please do this

Btw

You just got clocked again

I’ll be glad to ping Rocky or X or Tonk or even your high priest Purple and Yellow

It’s shameful and I have a heart even for libtard Race baiters

Now run along and eat your Wheaties

[RginTN]

I’ve never called any confederate flag supporter a racist. Honoring your relatives war history is just that not an assumption one is a racist for doing so.

You can’t explain your support for the confederate flag...feel sorry that you can’t.
