For all those looking for a new flag to honor those who died in the Civil War.... I found one

That flag offends a whole bunch of people too. How long until that one comes down as well?

Dont hate on him because hes right.

Next time another left wing anti gunner kills a church full of people and has that flag on his Facebook page Congress will look into getting rid of American flags at all schools and state buildings.

Once you allow this shit to happen the minority will roar.

P.S. Depending on what side you were on way back when it could be argued that flag was the flag of traitors, not to mention Indian murderers.

I guess the same thing that makes pussies who want to have the confederate flag (and all things Civil War-related) cleansed from our collective history. OTher than that, not much.

edit: And if you TRULY don't think that flag has essentially the same effect on some American Indian tribes as the confederate flag has on blacks, you're delusional.

It's already happening at schools and colleges across the nation

Regardless of the outcome of the Revolution, it's still a flag of traitors. Washington and Co. were committing high treason.

Sometimes, treason is a good thing. Like those 20+ Germans that committed treason by trying to kill Hitler. Many of them were German military and/or politicians.

I never said any of that.

Hell, I even agree with the premise that it shouldn't be cleansed or sanitized form history or if people want to wave it...go ahead. Not a problem with it at all. Just don't get the over reacting that a lot of people that don't have fucking shit to do with this having all the big opinions and dramatics on the matter.

It's those state's issues. I'll let them decide if they want to be tied to the vast array of dipshits that fly it and co-opt the history for their own purposes.

The flag doesn't offend me at all. I know when I see it that I'm probably gonna get a certain sort of entitled white guy to show his ass soon enough. It doesn't happen sometimes but usually it does. I can see some wanting to get away from that sort of crowd.

So now killing is a good thing?

You are all over the place man, its hard to keep up with.

Yes, of course, regale me with the slippery slope argument. This is all about left wing or right wing isn't it?

I've seen as many right wing guys from SC as I've seen left wing stating very eloquently why they think it should be removed from a state building...not anywhere else...their state's building.

Quite the performance you and AZ are putting on though. It's impressive overacting.

[kalm]

Love all the new found respect for the plight of Indians.

But evidently these colors DO in fact run.

Toby Keith is ashamed of you all.

Did I ever say killing was absolutely wrong? No. Sometimes you have to take a person out (like Hitler).

I'm consistent.

I remember a few years ago when someone at UM had a confederate flag in their dorm room. I was of the opinion that the guy had every right to fly his flag just as others could fly theirs. There was a lot of debate over that one if I remember right.

This and that are not the same thing but everyone just likes to put it all together as if it is. In a case like that I think the guy being discriminated against should sue the school and make some noise.

That movie sucked.

That was the very last assassination attempt, IIRC.

It's not about the flag. Why is that so difficult for some to understand. I mean, sure, it's about THIS flag, RIGHT now....but this is much bigger than the confederate flag. And I fail to see why asking a simple question is "having ...big opinions and dramatics....". I asked a simple question.

[Brock Landers]

How many stars and strikes flags would you see hanging around if the Brits had won the Revolutionary War?

You lost. Get over it already. Oh, your flag isn't about racism and slavery, but states rights and heritage? Tough shit. Win next time.

You were asking a simple question after days of other stuff on the issue so it probably piled up a little bit?

This flag, right now isn't part of the overall thing because it's about the people it affects and what they are deciding to do because a critical mass of jerk offs taking what their flag meant to them and using as some other statement.

This is about the people it affects trying to come to grips with what they want to do and outsiders telling them what they ought to be doing because of how they peel their political banana. That's what is ridiculous to me.

Other PC bullshit, I'm with ya all the way. This ain't that.

Explain why Hitler deserved to die and the people in that church didnt, this should be good

Yep. I've said it in other threads (and even earlier in this thread) but it bears repeating: This is another step down a very slippery slope where "things", whether those things are flags, statues, memorials, naming conventions, certain books, certain words, etc., etc., are changed/cleansed/eliminated to appease a vocal minority...precedent continues to be set, and it's not a good precedent.
