I am actually surprised the propaganda fails.

A wild glimmer of hope appears?

CNN will go wall-to-wall with polling results if they help push the agenda, and they can get early polling data within twelve hours if they want to.

I should have guessed the polling data wasn’t supporting the narrative because they haven’t been showing it.

Its only a symbol of racism to those who want to create a stereotype. That act in itself, btw is prejudiced and since it relates to southern whites only is also racist.

Isn’t it revealing they can’t just let it rest with 57% finding the flag to represent pride vs racism. They seem to think they’ll make big points if they toss in higher education.

Tell you what, folks with less education will be smart enough to know why the folks with more education think the flag is racist. They’ve attended a university where everything is politicized.

I’m shocked it isn’t 0% of the people who attended a university thinking the flag is simply for southern pride.

The Left must be aghast at all the effort they put in to brainwash college students, and they sill can’t convince more than 41% that the Dixie flag stands for racism.

What a massive fail!

I’m a proud Southerner and pretty much don’t give a rats patookie what anyone thinks.

Joined Sons of Confederate Veterans several years ago after obtaining enlistment/muster role records for two GG Grandads who fought the Northern aggressors out of Haywood co. NC. Loves company no less.

Got SCV stickers on both my trucks, got my battle flag, beer, bible and shotgun.

So...progressive yanks, liberals, commies, greenie winnies, feral gubbamint...go take a long walk on a short peer. My land is my kingdom, dare ya come take my flag down.

Well, I see president Obuma as a symbol of hate and racism. Let’s remove him and all vestiges of his bitter, racist policies.

All this Confederate flag stuff reminded me of all the great times I had listening to southern rock in college; Charlie Daniels, Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Outlaws, Little Feat.
I am a Yankee but went to college below the Mason-Dixon Line. The most polite friendly people I ever met were rural southerners. I spent lots of time shooting pool in road side bars with my college buddies and we never had any problems with the locals.
The most obnoxious rudest people I ever met were and still are northeastern elitists. There are lots of segregated neighborhoods in the "deep north".

I am a white woman, not born in the South, with two post-graduate degrees. But, in my home, the Confederate flag flies high! My husband is a descendant of Confederate soldiers and my son is planning to join the Sons of Confederate Veterans. In my profile, I call myself 100% unreconstructed.

“the flag has always represented more than just ancestral pride”, so says Obama.

Does ancestral pride count for nothing these days?

“Removing the flag from this state’s Capitol would not be an act of political correctness, it would not be an insult to the valor of Confederate soldiers, it would simply be an acknowledgement that the cause for which they fought, the cause of slavery, was wrong,” Obama said.

Very few of the soldiers would have fought for slavery. Nothing in it for them. They fought because they were sick and tired of the Federal Government in the north kicking them around.

The Confederate Flag is a flag of rebellion, NOT racism. The Confederate States rebelled against the Yankee government’s lawlessness.

As odious a practice as slavery was, it was the Law of the Land.
