I have been following this in the news and i am amazed that there is a call to remove the flag,are they bonkers
Do these idiots know nothing, removing the flag is crazy,will they follow that up by erasing history and pretend certain things never happened?? i always thought history was a important tool for man to learn from his mistakes,the flag in my opinion is a symbol of bravery and pride but also reminds us that sadly mistakes are made but with time and education society evolved and the flag represents southern values are still at the core of the steps forward that have been made,remove the flag and in truth all you are saying is all them that own one is a racist and that is a unfair tag to put upon good honest people that are proud of their heritage and aware of their past generations mistakes.
I see that all this BS has been generated by some kid killing 9 church goers and footage emerging of him with the Dixie flag,did the flag give him the gun and demand he carried out his awful crime...i think not...is Hilary demanding answers on how this young man in modern times became so fucked up?? as to me that is a more important issue that needs raising and not whether or not a flag is acceptable to raise,if images had emerged of this young man and the flag had been the flag of the United States Of America instead of the Dixie would there be a call for that one to be banned??
My biggest concern over this is what is the true motive,and i have a inkling this is a political stunt to retain votes from the black communities for the democrats,with a out going black president Hilary needs to keep them votes on side,if that is the motive she is playing a dangerous game that i feel is going to back fire,and shame on the commercial outlets for supporting this move and stopping sales of the flag and products related to it,walmart,ebay and amazon have reacted in fear of selling these good but have not looked at the long term effects they may have caused themselves,kinda funny as Amazon still sell this
Amazon.com : SS Flag : Outdoor Flags : Patio, Lawn & Garden ,even this morning i have read i will no longer be able to buy a toy General lee Dodge Charger and that pisses me off,i have fond memories as a kid in front of the TV watching Bo and Luke tear up the countryside delivering moonshine for Uncle Jessie,good ol boys never doing no harm,that TV program helped undo some of the stigma but sadly that stigma is being firmly re-attached.
Sadly the Dixie flag is in danger of being categorized along side the swastika, yes the symbol of the swastika represented Hitler and his army but for over 3000 years it was a symbol of luck and well being, and sadly uneducated morons are again trying to remove something that they clearly do not fully understand the true heritage of.
As for the American flag dolled up in Gay pride colors it should be banned, a national flag represents a nation not gender or sexual preference, i find it offensive.
