Traitors wave the Confederate flag

People who revere a flag which was the banner of a rebellion fought to ensure the preservation of their "peculiar institution" are exactly what I think they are.

So long as they have the Bible and the "real" history Grandpa Silas passed on to them with a jar of 'shine in his hand, they got all the learnin's they need. Besides, aint no southun man EVUH took no money from the Yankee govuhmint. He EARNED every penny of those farm subsidies!

Women such as my wife and take my word for it, you really do not want to mess with her.

You have... er... intetesting notions about what constitutes an educated and cultured society. :/

I'm down to alter the constitution. I mean we did fight a civil war and many people died.

The flag represents secession. It represents the idea that those who wave it wish to either secede or control the country. I don't get why it is just seen as a sign of supporting slavery.

It's ALL of those things. It represents raw, unadulterated evil. It's as disgusting a symbol as the Nazi flag.

You see Dave, this is the reason southern people don't open up to guys like you. Because you label them without knowing them. You for one do not know me. But all this shit does is convince me that perhaps we shouldn't know each other.

Judging by this thread, the "North," as if there were such a thing, has nothing at all over the "South," as if there were such a thing. Everyone is as mired in illusion and hate as everyone else.

I've lived in the south for 29 years now. It's the fucking truth. Just because YOU refuse to face it, doesn't make it a lie.

Do YOU see?

Fuck that rag. It represents evil. If you were strong enough to face the truth, you would be ASHAMED of it. You SHOULD be ashamed of it.

Having said that; I do not believe in banning it as it is protected speech as loathsome as it may be. In fact, I have as yet to hear of any serious effort to ban it and I suspect all of the hullabaloo is another baseless meme of the right, meant to divide and incite us.

Sad to see YOU and so many others have fallen for it.
