"I've wondered about that, too. I've seen a few TV commercials that had the General Lee, & it's always been placed on top of a car hauler so the Stars & Bars can't be seen....will they eventually paint it over???"
I know it rolls off the tongue easily, but.....
Excuse me, but the Southern Cross seen on the top of the car in the Dukes IS NOT and NEVER HAS BEEN the "Stars and Bars".
Imagine the Stars and Stripes with 3 stripes (those would be BARS) same blue field...fewer stars. The Stars and Bars LOOKS LIKE the Stars and Stripes! That's why Beauregard asked the Cary sisters and cousin to sew the Battle Flag in the first place, because the First National(Stars and Bars) was confused with Old Glory on the battlefield.

That, sir, is going to applied to the back of my truck WITH the Battle Flag at eye-level to all the college-bound Volvos and Toyotas of the leftwingers that are converging back in this area for the start of school. They can read it at stop signs or while passing me and wonder what caliber gun is under my seat as they drive by. "Liberty is founded on 4 boxes. The Soap Box, Ballot Box, Jury Box, & the Cartridge Box!"

Grand Quote! Just Capital! TwoBitticus

Howdy!

You know, as funny as this SATIRE about "NAACP boycotts Country Music" is, there seem to be a whole LOT of folks on this board actually believe this as fact. That's scary...... It's a JOKE folks! TwoBit

Mein Godt! What a beautiful idea!!! If it comes around to that, of course.....

There seems to be a lot of people who forget that, up until late December of 1865, Slavery was LEGAL !

How can one sue someone for something that WAS NOT A CRIME?

It's such a simple solution....that I wonder why no one has voiced it in a column somewhere.

Let's hope there's a judge out there who can recognise this simple fact and throw these putzes out on their ears.

But still, suing the Democrats sounds Sweet, pard.....

Dwight James, the executive director of the South Carolina NAACP, has said the organization was not involved in that compromise. He said the compromise didn't satisfy the group's requirements.

Dwight James thinks that the NAACP should be considered as part of the SC State Legislature? The man's slipping..... "The Compromise" was necessary in order for SC legislators to get on with their jobs.

What'd happen to motorcyclists in SC if they protested helmet laws at Welcome Areas? Jail or bail. Court. Fines or probation. That should happen to the NAACP protestors but They ought to be prosecuted under the RICO statutes for conspiracy to restrict free trade. You go Git 'em, Condon!

My kids have participated in academic quiz contests with other schools, some having 98% black students. I watched (while feeling multiple emotions of amazement, pity, and embarrassment) as junior high age kids at these schools could not answer questions like, How many ounces in a pound? Which state is nearest to Cuba? What president came after Washington? ---- you get the picture. These kids are chosen as the smartest in their schools. This is what the NAACP should be working on, not the flag nonsense.

The expression of intelligence in black schools is seen by students as "acting white".

Go play in the sand junior. The subject of history is apparently over your head.

I think Ol' Junior, here,and NonSquirter (Walt) are one in the same. Did you ever see them together? Spooky ain't it?

(Twilight Zone music....)

My theory, based on sentence structure and grammar usage, is that this one is an old member who either got banned or destroyed his own credibility so that a new ID became necessary. I've seen this tactic used before and it is either one or two guys.

Yeah, there's a lot of disgruntled leftists (Clintonistas) out there from the AOL Confederate Flag Controversy Board that have WAY too much time on their hands. I'm thinking MULTIPLE screen names for yahoos like these. Some of these cats must lose sleep over waitng for responses on this board. Pathetic bastids.....

I saw a T-shirt once that had a Confederate flag on it. Under the flag it said, "100% COTTON - AND YOU PICKED IT". Now thass bound to piss off some of those Anti/NeoConfederates/of Color!!!.....ROFLMAO

Perhaps you can lay out a the long train of abuses before 1860 that would parallel the one that Jefferson refers to.

Hey, you have history books....do your own damn legwork. Just take off the blinders first

"Jefferson Davis is as cold as a lizard and as ambitious as Lucifer." --Sam Houston Walt

Jeez, Walt....you taking a TEXAN'S word now? I'da thought you could've come up with something better than that, what with your Volunteers connections and all.

Ain't there anything happening over at the AOL Civil War History, Confederate Flag Controvesy Board? You gotta come over here with your tired old ad hominem attacks against a long-dead Gentleman and Patriot? How Sad......

REAL bright! You just opened up all these nice folks for the spammers

Ever been to GTMO? Lovely place - island paradise, and no where to go ...

They ought to be going up to Elmendorf AFB in Alaska or out to the base on Attu in the Aleutians, not Guantanamo. They escape into Cuba, Castro won't turn them over, he'd likely fly them out back to Pakistan.

Secession is outside the law and all the bleating in the world won't change that.

Nor will Your bleating make it "outside the law", old man. Why don't you go back to the AOL board with McTee so you can sucker the newbies?

The confederates fought against th U.S.Army just like the Taliban. Should we allow Taliban flags? Give me a break. This comment has to rate as one of THE stupidest ever.

1. The Federals attacked the Southern States with 75,000 troops after Ft. Sumter was fired on because it was being resupplied, which Lincoln promised not to do. Who is the aggressor here? The Federals. Lincoln.

2.Applying present-day turmoil on 140 year old history is utter bullsh*t....leftwing NAACP post-9/11 claptrap labelling Confederates as "terrorists". More anti-Southern propaganda that I take strong exception to......

3.What you are totally, blissfully ignorant of is the fact that the Confederates were and ARE AMERICANS. How many Southerners do you suppose died in WTC? Where the hell do you get off comparing Confederates to the goddamned Taliban? I would begin calling names at this point had I no restraint. Your ignorance is showing. Don't let it happen again

I am proud to be Politically Incorrect, and a proud Copperhead. Yassuh! I got a 1852 large cent, about to take the jeweler's saw to it and take out everything but Lady Liberty just like the Old Copperheads did....pin it on my lapel and wait for the questions.

Did you know that the CA/OR border is the western extension of the Mason-Dixon Line?

No charges had been filed late Friday. Not if the DA's Office knows what's good for them....

I read somewhere that the CIA-funded tunnel complexes at ToraBora could conceivably allow Bin to escape into Pakistan UNDERGROUND(!). But a look at the map changed my mind. ToraBora is about 100 miles from the border. That'd be one helluva tunnel, neh?

The Pakis helicopters are hovering at the border? It'd be neat to see the Pak counterpart of the door gunner from Full Metal Jacket yelling "Get Some! Get Some!" while spraying the escaping al Qaeda with .50 cal rounds....

NonSeq....Check This out. It actually WAS his wife's church, I read an interview of Kirk Lyons somewhere and that was his statement but that doesn't show up in this press release about the Confederate plaques removed from the Texas Supreme Court building. This may shed some light on Lyons for you, maybe not....

PRESS RELEASE Southern Legal Resource Center, Inc. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

December 6, 2001 Contact: Allison Schaum 864-605-1019

The Southern Legal Resource Center, Inc. takes strong exception to the distorted characterization of its Chief Trial Counsel Kirk D. Lyons in a December 3, 2001 Dallas Morning News article: "Not Surrendering in Civil War Battle."

In an otherwise accurate article about the ongoing Confederate vigil in front of the Texas Supreme Court building, Dallas Morning News reporter Christy Hoppe claimed, "Kirk Lyons, a lawyer who also has represented KKK leaders and white supremacists, filed the suit last June on behalf of the Sons of Confederate Veterans," referring to a lawsuit filed to compel the return of the Confederate Memorial plaques.

Throughout his legal career, Mr. Lyons has represented a varied clientele that over 10 years ago did include some of the groups mentioned by Ms. Hoppe. However worthy their case, Mr. Lyons does not represent such groups in his current work, which is the full time defense of Southern Heritage. For the DMN to use these distant client associations to tar the vigil, the SCV lawsuit and the SLRC's Chief Trial Counsel is unfair, defamatory and not worthy of a Texas Newspaper. To make it worse, the Dallas Morning News did not bother to call the SLRC before writing the article.

The Southern Legal Resource Center, Inc. is a non-profit, tax exempt South Carolina public law firm that specializes in cases involving Southern Heritage violations.

Respectfully submitted, Allison Schaum Case Manager

Regarding the printing of this article, PPMama.... it originated with Allen(I think) Breed who is the Associated Press regional rep in the southeast based in Raleigh, NC. The story went out over the AP wire and has been picked up by left-leaning newspapers all over the country (SF Chronicle included) as yet another way the South is falling apart. Folks in Berkeley are lappin' it up....
