Rand Paul looks at one side of history but ignores the other side.

I am a Northerner and not a Southerner, but support the South's right to fly the Confederate Flag.

Look, if we are going to use the Confederate Flag as a symbol of slavery, then let's be consistent.

The Confederate Flag (Stars and Bars) never flew on a slave ship but many slave ships flew the Stars and Stripes.

Yankee slavers in RI, Mass, NY, and Conn. grew very wealthy in the slave trade.

In fact, the vast majority of KKK rallies had these racists carrying the Stars and Stripes in their marches.

SEE THIS PIC FOR INSTANCE:



So? Are they going to take down the flag of the United States too?

People like Rand Paul are giving evil fools like Dylann Roof too much power and credibility by capitulating to the hysteria of the moment.

Rand is just doing what liberals do. And instead of people just jumping all over those of us that say that of him and the other RINOS,( not you ) they would better serve their country by looking at why some of us say it.

Because we sure do seem to be right about it an awful lot.
