I agree. I have absolutely nothing against flying the Confederate flag, except if you’re going to do it, why not fly the British flag, the Spanish flag, the French flag? They were all part of our history and flown here at one time or another.
Tea. Earl Gray...Hot!
You can’t correct stupid.
“I believe I compared the use of a flag after a war was lost.”
Just for the record, what is your position on flying the American flag at the Vietnam Memorial in Washington?
American flag? This is the USofA fly it high everywhere.
LOL I agree. I think we need to fly our own country’s flag and no other.
They are now moving on to not only monuments, but DIGGING up those at rest.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — On Tuesday evening the Memphis City Council unanimously passed a resolution to remove Nathan Bedford Forrest’s remains from under his statue in the Health Sciences Park on Union Avenue. However, there is still a long road ahead before the remains would be moved to a new location.....

“With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”

Seems like Barry and company have forgotten President Lincoln’s call for Unity in this Country
We’ve been trying to get Republicans to cut taxes for 40 years. This gets done in a week?
I agree.
Glad to see you backed-off the reference to lost war. That didn't make sense at all to anyone with enduring values.
This is the United States of America, not Vietnam. I wouldn’t expect Vietnam to fly our flag. Your analogy makes no sense to me. The Vietnam Memorial is for US soldiers, not Vietnamese. Not the same thing at all.
It is an historical flag and much like the Gadsden flag has taken on the meaning of resistance to tyranny.
I’m a Yankee who has lived in the South for almost 40 years. I have never had any affinity for the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia. I have ordered one. Should be here next week. I also ordered a Bonny Blue flag and the first flag of the Confederacy, the Stars and Bars.
If you will re-read my post, I refer to the Vietnam Memorial in Washington. And I inquired about your views of flying a flag in honor of a lost cause - the Vietnam War.
Earlier, you had suggested it was wrong to fly a flag in honor of a lost cause. You have backed off your ill-considered remarks about lost wars and the comparison of Southerners with Nazis. There is no need to further punish yourself.
“I am Republican and conservative...”
Make up your mind, will you?
i bet the liberals really love when they see the GOP doing their work for them, huh?
i wonder what that feels like.
in my life, i’ve never experienced the satisfaction of seeing democRATS do the GOP’s work for us.
once again, GOP = stupid party
No, I compared two flags and two different countries. The Vietnam Memorial is a memorial for U.S. soldiers....Certainly this is a war we lost, but we are not flying the Vietnam flag here. Are YOU proposing that? LOL They defeated us in a war for Vietnam, not for our land and our country. We lost that war for lack of a backbone. No other reason. I see no reason for Vietnam to fly our flag, we lost. Quite consistent, in my simple opinion.
me too.
if the voters of south carolina decide they want it taken down, then that’s an internal issue for them to decide.
nobody outside of south carolina should have any say in the matter... neither directly nor via coercion.
Another carpetbagger pissing on the old South. I wish that witch would f-ing leave today on here broom stick.
Move on, yeah you should go over to the DU where you belong. KMFA.
Slavery never happened.
