I'm not calling anyone a Nazi. I was simply responding to a previous poster who said, "Fly any flag you want." Clearly, it isn't that simple. Why not fly a Nazi flag? Because it represents a system and a society that repressed freedom, subjugated people based on their ethnicity, and was the flag of a nation vanquished by the US and its allies in war. It would be patently offensive to fly a Nazi flag. Some people view the Confederate flag as patently offensive as well. I don't want to equate German fascism with the Confederacy, but both represent vanquished regimes. Why fly such flags?

Many people view this web forum as offensive. Susan Sarandon does. The Dixie Chicks do. Should we shut it down because they are offended? Does their interpretation of this website trump ours?

Some people are offended by the American flag. Remember the statue in Baghdad.

I hope you are intelligent enough to know that the Confederacy did not launch a multiple front war against multiple nations, was not in danger of conquering an entire continent, and did not try to exterminate a race (no, the Confederacy did not try to exterminate black Americans). You and I both know why you posted the Nazi flag, and it does not wash.

As we both know, the politically correct jihad against southern pride is a recent phenomenon - led by those who need an simplistic issue to be relevant (NAACP, DNC, etc). The chief architect of this on FR has been outed as a Clinton and democrat party supporter.

And I see his thread is in the backroom, where it belongs.
