Confederate Flag Just Pulled Down To Cheers And Jeers From A Bunch Of Assholes

[paddymurphy]

I really don't understand why SC was still officially flying it....but then again....I don't believe in letting the mob rule our government.

My guess is this was designed to piss people off.

The reason it was still up? Democrats raised it. The racist Democrat Party raised it.

The state legislature raised it. Hell I'm not even in your state and I know that.

And there it is again -- trolls looking for Message Board Football points.

Who was in power in that legislature? Democrats.

Democrats raised it.
Republicans lowered it.
Fact.

The only votes to not remove it came from Republicans.

OPEN LETTER TO THE SONS OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS AND OTHER FELLOW AMERICANS FROM A...

Facebook ^ | 7/8/2015 | Tom Baurle
Pictured: My 2nd great-grandfather Octave Bruso. Company G, 5th Missouri (1861) and Company E, 50th NY Engineers (1862-1865). Also the "Union Veterans Legion" lapel pin he wore in the photo. If you will go back and read your history the men who actually fought against the south in the Civil War, black and white, had no problem uniting under both flags at numerous reunions. President McKinley on at least one occasion wore a confederate veteran's lapel as a symbol of unity, even though he was a combat veteran from Ohio. Having survived numerous Civil War battles, he was murdered right...

It wasn't put up until 1961-not 150 years ago- as protest to the civil rights movement. It needed to come down.

Most people are afraid of what they don't know or understand. Most of those same people aren't willing to learn the truth about the flag.

Who better to provide the real "the truth about the flag" than the man who designed it?

So WHY did it take ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS before some got indignant about this?....It couldn't be STRICTLY POLITICAL could it?

 

[DigitalDrifter]

I don't particularly like that flag....but the way those assholes were acting when it came down was disgraceful.

All of the singing and angry shouting that was going on made me sick.

They should have brought it down in the dark of night so those assholes wouldn't get the satisfaction.

Any thoughts?

That flag has been around since the civil war and now all of a sudden its an issue??

Political correctness bullshit period.

Nonsense.

There is no such thing as 'political correctness,' it's a myth contrived by the right in response to the racists and bigots who found refuge among the ranks of republicans and conservatives, and who make up much of the republican base, with the intent to appease that base.

The flag was removed from South Carolina state property today because it represented contempt for the Constitution and the rule of law, as well as an effort to defend segregation, ignorance, and hate.

The flag was removed at the behest of the people of the state, by their elected representatives, in recognition of the fact that symbols of ignorance and hate have no place in venues of government endorsement, symbols that are not representative of all the people of the state.

I honestly believe you actually wrote that yourself, and not a copy and paste from your handbook !
Amazing !!!

Isn't he cute??? LOL

I think the C Clayton programmer finally took my advice and installed the C Clayton update 2.0, which installs a little more personality and a little less PC robot responses.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

You're right, dammit. Let's repeal the 1st Amendment and we won't have to listen to those kind of pukes anymore.

Nah. People have every right to play the idiot role in society.

Funny how the Democrats are now leaping at the opportunity to bury their past racism while openly pursuing the same on their present course.

Nobody Is trying to bury anything. The evil actions of the past are acknowledged, and the thinking people changed heir beliefs and actions in response to that acknowledgement. It's a shame that the right chose not to do that.

No. Its a shame that the left lets political correctness and bullshit rule.

It's not shame in their minds. It's intentional.

As apparently it rightly should have! You scum on the left will promote ANYTHING to cause DIVISION in this country... I pose that a majority of you simply WANT this division, as do the Socialists/Marxists/Fascists/Communists, and atheists!

Ironic since it is the racists who are doing exactly that by trying to deflect attention towards the Democratic Party and away from their racism as embodied by their confederate flag.

I guess you missed the part where one of your buddies killed nine innocent black folks and was found to have your same love for that symbol of hatred of black folks.

Sure they are. Not.

So, as you liberal scum are so happy to point out, YOU'RE PAINTING WITH A BROAD BRUSH, and he has been condemned roundly by ALL on the right!

Need the link where the black man says he hates whitey and shoots 4 whites... Or are you smart enough to NOT make yourself look like a bigger fool?

Now that the flag is down, I'm looking forward for a violence free weekend in Chicago where no one is injured or killed by gang violence.

This will no doubt mark the end of climate change as well.

A notable day in history. Oops. I used the word history. Dass ist verboten!

A notable day in a politically correct, non offensive, imaginary version of what could have happened that can of course be changed whenever the narrative needs to be realigned with current policy.

 

[mudwhistle]

Oh please. The confederate flag didn't fly over the capitol from the end of the civil war to the 60s. The south never conceded defeat. The human spirit will never concede defeat to tyranny. The politically correct can try to hide the flag but they can't hide the principles of freedom behind the flag.

There are no principles of 'freedom' behind that flag! That flag represented a pro-slavery stance 150 years ago, a repressive Jim Crow set of laws that divided the south after that and low brow culture and racism since then.

A flag is supposed to unite a nation. Well, the 'nation' of traitors who embraced that flag had no concept of 'unity' when they started their treason at Ft. Sumpter. They claim they fought for 'state's rights'. What was the primary state's rights issue? Whether or not to have the state's right to allow property owners to hold another human being in perpetual bondage.

There is nothing noble, honorable or gracious imbued in that flag. For a state to fly it on public property is tantamount to branding that state as one in which freedom is an exclusive club and not all Americans need apply..

That's all well and good....but that flag wasn't flying in Washington. So what does a fucken nation have to do with it?

Yup.....and no more black Christians will catch a bullet because they decided to bring it down.

Symbolism.......it's so important....rather than actually doing something to solve the problem....or heal wounds that are just recently reopened.

Liberals don't fix things. They only make things worse.
