The Very Word "Confederate" Is Laden With Negative Connotation

In my readings today I came across a wonderful psalm, Psalm 83 which reads...

  1. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
  2. For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
  3. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
  4. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
  5. For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
  6. The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
  7. Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
  8. Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
  9. Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
  10. Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
  11. Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
  12. Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
  13. O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
  14. As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
  15. So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
  16. Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O Lord.
  17. Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
  18. That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth.
Source: Bible Gateway passage: Psalm 83 - King James Version

So the negativity goes back to biblical days.

Let's all blame the Confederacy for having slavery for 4 years, and forget that the USA had slavery for 89 years.
The US got rid of it willingly. The south fought a war to keep it. Some of the dumb fucks would bring it back if they could.
Wrong. After the Civil War was over, and all the Confederate held slaves were free, the USA still had slavery. It took the ratification of the 13th Amendment to finally free the last Union held slaves.

We should have sent them back to Europe if they weren't willing to live the American way. We don't let Muslims come here and mutilate genitals so why would we allow slave owners to fly that confederate flag around. You lost. Burn the fucking flag. It's like waiving a nazi or ISIS flag.


Actually, we do let Muslims come here and mutilate genitals.


The Americans who actually fought the Confederates and paid the price for winning, decided to heal the wounds of civil war.

A part of that was accepting that the South would be allowed to honor and celebrate it's regional heritage.

Who are you to rescind that?

Do you think the same about the American flag. It flew over slavery. Let's see if your consistent or a hypocrite.

The confederate flag was never a US flag. The 13 stripes represents the first 13 colonies in the US flag.
The American flag flew over slaves. Whatever you say will not change that. So if are consistent you would be against it for the same reason. But you're a hypocrite.

I read even Lee didn't want the flag. When one territory wins over another their flag is no longer flown. The confederate flag did not fly over the slaves. It was a flag made for the succession of states, and well you lost and the flag lost.
So you quote Lee another monument that your kind wants gone? The fact is your kind wants all confederate images gone because of racism. Another fact the American flag was raised at the same time. No matter how you try to twist it.

Well, you know that time is coming. The confederate thing is just for now. You know the left intends to move on the American flag when they are done with this little mess. Some leftists are jumping the gun and starting early like Colin Kopernick.
 
When the Civil War started, the Union States of Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, and New Jersey still had slavery. Lincoln said they could keep slavery as long as they did not secede from the Union. Later during the war, Lincoln illegally made West Virginia a new state and they could also keep slavery.

So it was OK for the Union States to have slavery, but not the Confederate states. Define hypocrisy.

You have a source for that claim, right?

Yes. US history.
...I rather meant a particular source that you would like to share with the class. You know, one with a link that we can all go verify for ourselves?
In what State did you receive your education that never mentioned the fact that the Union had slavery when they invaded the South in the Civil War?
Why do you keep dodging my simple request? Since it is such "well-known history", surely you can provide at least a single source to support what you are asserting...

The USA flag made slavery legal can't blame the Confederacy on that unless you're a historical retard. And the USA flag was carried by the Army that practiced genocide against the American Indians.

You don't know the first thing about US history and why the Civil War was fought
What you dont know would fill a library hun.

Well I know the Civil War wasn't just about slavery, you overweight pee wee sucking jackass

Until it didn't then the traitors wanted to secede. Yes Jefferson and Washington owned slaves but the south killed Americans over their evil wicked way of life.

Fuck, can we just all stipulate that anyone who isn't a PC zealot is Hitler?

And get on with our fucking lives?

Sheesh, everything is just a variation on a freakin' theme.

Well they have to do something, the Russian narrative fizzled out
Benghazi!

Sad how Cankles and Ears left those Americans out to dry.
That was the right wing lie. That's ok if you want to push that narrative. Your actions speak louder than your words
