Enough is enough. People are tired of being told that they are full of hate and are evil, if they do not live think and act like the elites command.

"That flag has a lot of different meanings to a lot of different people," said David Stone, 38, who organized the event. "It doesn't symbolize hate unless you think it's hate - and that's your problem, not mine. 1) right to private property
2) right of succession
3) right of self-defense
4) right to liberate oneself from invasion
5) states rights
6) state sovereignty
7) state independence
8) state status
9) state freedom from oppression
10)state individuality
11)free trade
12)limited government
13)right of self determination
14)right to escape from tyranny

They will reap what they’ve sown.
In a year the Rebel flag may be down in Statehouses but I along with other people I know want to fly the Rebel flag for the sole reason that other people want to compel everyone to follow their pathetic ‘consciences’. I’ve read where a lot of people want to fly the Rebel flag as well. Hopefully, it will be in all the tolerant liberals’ faces.

If it is standing up and fighting back you mean, I hope that it is true.
If it is more tyranny you are talking about, I agree with you.

Proud southerners have been relatively silent about this left wing raping of our heritage. Last week was the tipping point. And millions of us are now pissed beyond comparison.

you want to honor the Confederacy. Read the Confederate Constitution. Article 1 Section 9 Clause 4.
Did the US Constitution have its own Article 1 Section 9 Clause 4...nope.
