    I don't like the tactics some of their followers have adopted but it doesn't reflect on the ideology as a whole. They're not based in hate.

    Need to change the colors. Rwd/white/blue may cause stress in some.


    Maybe all red or red and yellow.

    I said that flag stopped the practice of slavery, while the other flag WANTED TO keep the practice going.

    Precisely.
    There is nothing more un-American than to attack the United States seeking to destroy it. That their motive for seeking to destroy the United States was to preserve slavery makes it all the more reprehensible.
    Honoring such men with statues? I think not.

    At first I thought the confederate rag should be banned, as Germany has banned the swastika as a symbol of hate, but now I think it can serve a useful function as an ******* (think butthead) alert.

    I used to get gas at the same gas station and would B.S. with the attendant. A pickup pulled up with the stars and bars rag in the back window - the attendant talked briefly with the driver, then the pickup pulled out. I said "There goes an *******." The attendant said,"You know him? He IS an *******." I said I don't need to know him, his back window alerts everyone that the owner is an *******.

    See if you can keep up.............
    That's why we fought a war to stop the other side. And to preserve our constitution. Which guarantees the right to freedom of expression and speech. Which your bullying fascists now want to stop. So that's why we have to wage another war now against communist anarchist antifa swine.
    And guess which side you are on....ironic!

    Did you follow the logic? I'll wager not.

    Follow this logic, the Confederacy fought to destroy the United States did they not? If your answer is yes they were guilty of treason, correct. With that said why should those who committed treason against this nation be honored with statues.

    No. I knew you couldn't follow along the logical rational progression.

    Not correct exactly but I guess for your thinking grade "treason" is close enough. It's the difference between murdering your spouse or just walking out on the marriage but I don't expect you to catch on.
    Was war against the Confederacy necessary though? Yes.


    Because it's a free country with free speech and thought incorporated right into our Constitution. Again, I don't expect you to catch on.
    The whole things seems too difficult for you to understand. I don't care about the statues. I care about our constitutional nation of laws.

    Using your standards antifa itself should be outlawed as well. They are as anti American as it gets (dirty little commie anarchist vermin).

    Very rarely, maybe in a blue moon will I see someone or vehicle displaying the "Stars and Bars", the national flag of the Confederacy.

    In my lifetime I've seen thousand of vehicles displaying the Confederate Battle flag of the Southern Cross.

    Personally the liberals and the hate mongering Democrat party wouldn't look so stupid if they would first learn American history before joining the American Taliban to erase America's culture and history in the name of political correctness.

    I see you hate free speech as well.
    Not that I am surprised.

    It wasn't about the color of the skin ai the beginning as there were many white slaves and some owned by blacks. It all really started as indentured servants who signed contracts for passage to America so they could find a better life. For some it may have been a couple years to seven years. One female black slave in LA. became one of the largest land owners in the state. Why don't you ever hear about these things is because as long as newspapers have been around it has been their agenda to foment hate among the masses.
