Carson: Confederate flag can fly on private property

[MisterBeale]

YOUR property values? WTF are you talking about man?


The way your political rantings are going on about. . . . soon you won't have any property, it will all be owned by the state. You better wake up fool.

Nothing says "White Trash" like the Stars and Bars. I don't want people thinking that about the neighborhood I live in, thanks.

Then move to a neighborhood or an apartment that doesn't allow the display of flags.

 

[JoeB131]

Then move to a neighborhood or an apartment that doesn't allow the display of flags.

OR get them to take it the fuck down.

I'm kind of done playing nice with you people.

 

[IsaacNewton]

Yeah people need to start thinking about their neighbors as well. Every year from October to January you see these people who put up Halloween displays that cover their whole yard and house with lights and sound, or Christmas light displays with 100k lights.

Cool you like to celebrate but uh, you don't live by yourself in the far country in Montana. Some of these people ok it with their neighbors and in that case more power to you, but some of them do it even though some or many of the neighbors can't stand it. It turns from 'freedom' to 'freedom to be obnoxious'.

The same with flags or other displays. Try acting like a human being that belongs to the human race rather than a dick, and get along with the people that live next to you.

Nope, this is America. Here we believe in freedom. If you don't like it, you move to a community that is more in line with your belief's.

Otherwise, learn the first Amendment sucker. . . .

You want to be an old humbug? Move to the woods.

This is the mentality of people who wind up shooting their neighbors. "I'll do whatever I want when I want so F#$k you".

The mentality of an 8 year old.

 

[bripat9643]

Anyone could find any flag offensive.
Where do you draw the line?

Where the flag represents something that is truly offensive.

The Stars and Bars and the Swastika clearly fall into that category.

I'm not the slightest bit offended.

Next dumb argument,

 

[charwin95]

We fly a Confederate flag....nobody has said anything, but of course we don't live around a bunch of whiny, control freak, bat shit nuts, left loons

Its because your entire neighborhood belongs to KKK or NAZIs. that's sad.

 

[ninja007]

I concur with Dr. Carson. What people do on their private property is their business. I don't care, nor do I need to care. Dr. Carson just had a lucid moment, I would say....

Discuss. What do you think?

So if your next door neighbor decided to fly a Swastika Flag on his property, you'd be totally cool with that?

So what would be the next flag you don't like that you want to outlaw? The "Skull and Cross Bones"? The Rainbow Flag?
Maybe some country's flag that you also don't like? Not your property, not your concern.

There are people who do want to control what flag is flown on personal property.

It really is amazing to watch the country unravel like this.

and theres a couple libs like this in this VERY THREAD.

And you feel a pressing need to tell other people, who aren't out attempting to do you or anyone else physical harm, how they should live because?

*****CHUCKLE*****

Its the white trash that impose their mental illness on their neighbors that are forcing people to live a certain way. Go to youtube and type in freakouts at mcdonalds or freakouts at walmart. You will see the very type who don't think much of what other people think.

Adults understand they live in a society. Children, and that includes people over 18 who are still mentally children, think the world revolves around them. Its ok for actual children, they haven't learned yet. But the adults who never grow up are the reason we have police.

Tada.

Gee, Stats don't you catch flack about your swasrika banners?

Carson: People can wave the Confederate Flag on private property - CNNPolitics.com

Ben Carson said Tuesday that he has no problem with people flying the Confederate flag -- as long as they do it on private property.

"As a general principle, people can do whatever they want on their private property -- that's one of the basic tenets of freedom in America," Carson said in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. "I am not opposed to anybody doing whatever they want to do on their private property."

I concur with Dr. Carson. What people do on their private property is their business. I don't care, nor do I need to care. Dr. Carson just had a lucid moment, I would say....

Discuss. What do you think?

Duh?

Yes I realize that 'you' would never attempt to impose your variety of mental illness on anyone else as you attempt to tell them how they should live their lives... After all you're so accepting of diversity and cultural differences.

You keep proving you're an idiot. Why comment if all you can come up with is middle school insults? Go manage your "businesses". <snicker>

yes,there are rightwingnuts who thought mexicans shouldn't be able to fly their flag in protest of loony arpaio.

Embedded media from this media site is no longer available

Good example of right wing PC. Not nearly as prevalent, but just as counter-productive when it occurs.

Wouldn't this country be better off without all the blind, narcissistic, self righteous hypersensitivity?

[DigitalDrifter]

i thought we were talking about in the united states.

your neighbors might ask you to take it down. and probably if you're part of a community, the homeowners' rules or condo rules or whatever would be something you agreed to when moving in and a swastika would not be allowed. that said, on private property you have a "right" to be as stupid as you'd like. that doesn't mean there are no repercussions for being stupid.

You know what, there's nothing in my Condo by-laws that says I can't fly a Swastika flag and play the Horst Wessel Leid at 120 decibles at 1:30 AM. But I am sure that they'd have words with me if I did.

But you're wanting the government to ban the flag, that's a whole different matter.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

The country is not unraveling, but the far right is going crazy realizing it will not have a Trump or a Cruz Santorum etc on the ticket. The flag issue just is a minor, little thing. Fly it on your property.

Your brother Joe thinks the government should make it illegal, even on private property.

 

[JoeB131]

Nope, this is America. Here we believe in freedom. If you don't like it, you move to a community that is more in line with your belief's.

Otherwise, learn the first Amendment sucker. . . .

The first Amendment has limit, which is why sensible people can't display swastikas or kiddie porn in public.

The Stars and Bars need to be added to that list.

 

[JoeB131]

NOt really. IT's a symbol or racism and hate, and displaying it should be classified as a hate crime.
