I am seeing that my post has been misread as a mockery of the South. It was meant as a lament of the loss of the manly culture that the flag stood for.
It took a certain kind to face the rifles and cannon at Shiloh and I doubt that most American men these days would have the nerve to face death like that. The pathetic and vile creatures that pass for ‘men’ these days offend me.
While I never owned a Battle Flag of Virginia (until UPS delivered one on Friday) I looked to that flag as the remnant of a different time, a holdout against the emasculated culture of our time in which everything masculine, honorable, and patriotic has been demonized. And now it is disappearing as the war against America and the war against Men enters its final stages.
Did the South have slavery? Yes, it did. And so did the Union. It’s an irony that slavery in the North didn’t end until AFTER the Civil War was over which makes clear that the war was never really about slavery in the first place.
That said, the flag for me never represented racism because some racists liked it anymore than the US flag represented racism because the KKK marched down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC waving it.
Right or wrong, that flag represented men who were willing to fight for what they believed in. In that time it was a common virtue for men to display uncommon valor.
Not so much anymore when a whole nation kneels before homosexual degenerates.
I offer a full apology to you.
This homosexual garbage is breaking my heart. I realize I can’t rule over what somebody else does in the privacy of their bedrooms; but these people largely don’t intend to keep it in their bedrooms like normal people. They seem mostly to want to ACT UP, ACT OUT, & ACT A JACKASS just to rub our noses in it. - Don’t worry what people think in a kneejerk reaction to your posts. Ha! I’ve had more than a few things I’ve posted on FR over the years misunderstood. - Until now, I hadn’t had any great desire for a Confederate flag; but now I do. I don’t wish to hurt black people’s feelings - & I don’t wish for anyone to hurt mine either! - Obama seems to me to be trying to create as much discord & division as possible while he has that “bully pulpit” which he has so misused. What a pity!
Well said
