The Confederate flag should have been retired to museums long ago. Rightly or wrongly, it has the same odor as the Nazi flag and no one has any business flying it. Put it away. [Don’t bother flaming me if I run afoul of your racist bigotry, hate, and so-called Southern Pride. The flag was flown to kill Americans, was flown against the USA, was flown to promote and defend racism. Be proud of America, fly the American flag.]

You are no better than Wallace.

When were you vested with the right to demand others surrender their rights to your strawman opinions?

“. . . was flown to promote and defend racism.”

The same has been said of the American flag. How do you respond when those accusations are made against the stars and stripes?

I don’t know if you know this, but the Confederate States of American was defeated, some say, by the most powerful slave nation on earth.

“so-called Southern Pride”

They choose to celebrate Southern Pride by flying a flag that represents a four year period when the South was fighting against the United States of America. Has the South got nothing else to be proud of?

“...[the Confederate flag] has the same odor as the Nazi flag and no one has any business flying it. Put it away.”

The American military, known widely as racist free for decades, has had battleship, at least one, with the Confederate flag as its flag.

Dukes of Hazards displayed it prominently on the General Lee. Nothing was thought of it.

The “odor” was artificially applied to it by American hating Leftists, and accepted completely by snowflakes like you.

By the way, I spent some time in Illinois, and the Confederate flag was on display as much as in the South.

Before the mid 1980's, blacks and others didn't care one hoot about the Confederate flag. At that time, it was just a flag.

Heck, I remember living in New York, and 18-wheelers would routinely drive the highways and major streets, adorned with huge Confederate flags on the truck grill. Not one soul shuddered, went to the floor in convulsions, panicked, cried, got angry, or whatever the claim is today, when the flag was shown.

It is just recently that race-hustlers brought up the flag stuff. If the Confederate flag was so bad, why was it prominently displayed in TV shows such as the "Dukes of Hazzard", all without any complaints from anyone?

Rightly or wrongly, it has the same odor as the Nazi flag

I was born and raised in Connecticut, and for neither myself nor the people I grew up with (of every type) was the Confederate flag anywhere in the same ballpark. People are trying to MAKE it that now. The United States of America was always at her best when gracious in victory, and after the total desolation imposed on the Confederate states, it was wise to allow southerners to honor their dead and to see heroism and valor in the many things other than slavery that the South and even the Confederate flag has stood for. Heck, we even let the Japanese keep a defanged version of their Emperor. It is the Neo-Marxists and South haters who are trying to make a thing where there wasn't a thing for a VERY long time.

Here's former Yankee baseball player Roy White, wearing his baseball uniform (that "smells like a swastika") from when he was playing balls for the Columbus Georgia Confederate Yankees.

Leftists are now saying the same thing about the American Flag. And a year from now you'll be taking a knee (again) mewling that we need to take down Old Glory, virtue signaling like a Karen. Or probably you'll go full prostrate.

And anybody “of reasonably normal IQ” should care about your HISTORICALLY IGNORANT, SELF-righteous, & frankly STUPID personal opinion, exactly WHY??

IMO, you need to do some serious research BEFORE “shooting off your mouth”.

They will come for this flag, next....guarantee.....



As much as I didn't care for the Confederacy, I recognized it was but the first step to their ultimate prize. It was a "Hill to Die On", and unfortunately people are going to realize that far too late.

Free Speech is a bitch.

I don’t are if someone decides to fly a Nazi Flag, the Japanese Hinomaru or a Confederate Flag, (the symbols of our past Enemies) it’s their Right as a Free American to do so.

You can choose to shun those who do, which is also your Right as a Free American.

The Left feels the same way about the US flag. And you probably do too.

I fly the CSA battle flag all the time. Black people need to get over their fear of states rights. That is the core issue and not slavery. Black folk love your big Daddy Federal government don't you?

Boot lickers make me sick. Be a man.

So by your reconning the American flag should also be “put... away.”

Thanks for calling me a bigot and racist.
