    I have no problem with the Confederate battle flag that was flown by and during the Confederacy. It is the symbol of defeated rebels, and as you say- it was captured- and warrants being displayed with the flags of other flags we have captured.

    But if you think it is just the 'PC hate mongers' who object to the display of the battle flag, I think you have decided to be ignorant.

    While to you, the battle flag may be symbol of a brave Confederate soldier, to many, especially Americans descended from flags, it is the symbol of an attempted rebellion by states, in order to preserve slavery.

    African Americans remember that it was during the civil rights era, that suddenly the battle flag was being flown the South Carolina state capital- to whites, it was to celebrate the anniversary of the start of the Civil War- to blacks it was a sign of defiance against the civil rights movement.

    I don't think you are a hate monger because you honor the Stars and the Bars- I don't know why you think that those who oppose it must be hate mongers.

    The "Stars and Bars" isn't a battle flag but was the national flag of the Confederate States of America. The PC hate mongers always confuse the Confederate battle flag that displays the Souther Cross with the "Stars and Bars." Most PC hate mongers don't even know what the "Stars and Bars" looks like.

    You can't figure it out ?

    If there wasn't a Second Amendment it's very likely there wouldn't be a Constitution today.

    But then again, Obama just pretends there is no Constitution.

    If Germany had a Second Amendment, there would never have been a "Rape of Cologne" on New Years Eve.

    Meanwhile, Lil Wayne and Biggie songs about killing cops and Rick Ross's song about raping a woman are songs of America?

    Black Lives Matter!

    Elvis' American Trilogy is on lots of different youtube channels if you would prefer to listen to them instead.

    Mind Control in action.

    The despicable 1984 gang is at it again.
