Why is he an ‘idiot’?
I guess because unlike the libs, he didn’t wear a mask or hoodie to conceal his identity. Noticed some, uh, non-whites helping tote the barry-cades over to the white house. Must have been some slaves of a wealthy 1% tea party racist. Or maybe they just know where the real shackles are. Or they were paid plants to make it look like the tea party isn’t racist. Besides which, this has nothing to do with tea party or not. People just pissed that the govt thinks they own everything. Our tax dollars, their paychecks, our country.
“Why is he an ‘idiot’?”
That is my question too.
I didn’t know the Confederate flag was illegal (yet).
Maybe they should read a history book instead of believing what they hear in the media about the Confederate flag.
I have no problem with the confederate flag, but bringing it to a Tea Party event is idiotic, specifically because it allows the other side to swing the debate over to territory they're more comfortable on.
The confederate flag has absolutely nothing to do with today's world and the issues being discussed.
Similarly, a person bringing a Soviet Union flag to a pro-Obamacare rally would be idiotic, allowing us to point at the flag and call them all old school communists longing for the return of a brutal communist state.
You want to keep your protest on message and not allow openings to the other side to derail it.
Why is he an idiot...
My first thought as well...
And why is he a racist?
I agree ... why is he an idiot?
Good question.
I know the rebellion is popular in some circles especially among decedents of Confederate veterans, but in most of the country it is not. Since it's a given that the media will cry racism every time they see that flag it's politically suicidal for anyone on our side to use it.
My question, too.
Thousands of young men died for that flag. They believed that their cause of States Rights was a true one.
Now, 150 years later, under the tyrant Obama, we are finding out they were right. They were heroes, too.
Really. How does holding/having a Confederate flag make one an idiot? Political correctness taking over again.
I’m not a born-and-bred southerner, but we moved to Tennessee three years ago. We love the symbolism of states’ rights, and the independent spirit of the people, when we see that flag. I remember the day we relocated here, driving in our rental car out of the Nashville airport, and seeing that the car ahead of us had a big Confederate flag flying. We honked and waved, and felt GREAT! It seemed that we were in America (having left California only three hours earlier).
“Why is he an ‘idiot’?”
Because Politically Correct “conservatives” are in total agreement with the Left on this issue- they will both tell you that the Confederacy was no different than Nazi Germany.
