The NAACLP couldn't get it done in SC, so they moved on to FL.

Who is providing the funds for all of these anti-flag conventions>

The travel, room and board, supplies for the numerous silly signs must have a centralized source, since all the people these whiners "represent" don't have the money to spend for these isolated "outrages".

Haven't these over-covered media events been sponsored by the incestuous relationship of the DNC and the NAALCP?

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

"If the city doesn't respect the feelings of some people, some people ought not to respect the feelings of the city," said local NAACP chapter president Sabu Williams.

The city council voted to keep the flag. That's the way we do things in America, Sabu. Get over it or leave.

I grew up in Crestview and I remember when Uncle Bill died and the memorial was dedicated (about 1 year later). The whole town turned out. There used to be a sign as you entered the then small town which read "Welcome to Crestview, Home of Uncle Bill Lundy, the Last Confederate Soldier". That flag is not and has never been about racism or hatred. It is a tribute and is taken very seriuosly by all the people who remember Uncle Bill. My sister's best friend is the neice of Lundy and according to her, this is one particular political activist who stirs this up periodically (usually around elections) just to test the wind and bring attention to himself.

You Dixie pingers are welcome to join my MSN forum group to discuss Confederate flag issues.

Here's a note recently posted by Bill Lundy's grandson:

Greetings,
This same thing is currently happening to my great-grandfathers monument in Crestview, Fl. The land, monument and flag was dedicated to him and erected in 1958...one year after his death. He was the oldest living confederate veteran and died at the age of 109! Anyway, the NAACP has now decided that it "must be took down"! It is not in front of the court house, but on a small piece of land about the size of a 20 by 20 foot sun room. Still, all of us Lundys are having a hard time fighting this. My great grand-father's name was William "Uncle Bill" Lundy. They was going to vote on maybe turning it over to a private group like a historical society, but the land belongs to the city and the city attorney said they could not do that. That flag has been up all these years and I am simply angry that they would do this to him, my family and all the other confederates' memories! It is wrong and nothing the NAACP can say will make it right! Thank you for listening to me rant. I usuall don't say any thing and just read the posts, because I am shy. But sometimes, I just can't seem to shut my mouth!
Bless you all,

Liberalism in one of its purest forms. Cite emotion and feelings instead of truth and fact.

And if the rest of the citizens say to "stuff it," then maybe you should just stuff it.

Doesn't this work both ways?

It flies over a memorial to William "Uncle Bill" Lundy, Florida's last surviving Civil War veteran. He died in 1957.

In other words, it is not even flying as a call to the townspeople to reaffirm their proud heritage. It is simply posted to honor one who fought under it. No fair minded person could possibly object to this. Anyone who would make an issue over paying proper respect to a distinguished deceased citizen is beneath contempt.

It is not my business what a small City in Florida does. But I can express my feelings on what the NAACP does by refusing to give them any more respect than they give others. If they cannot respect the feelings of Floridians who want to honor their own, then do they really deserve any respect themselves?

Now I am not going to be a hypocrite. I have denounced the NAACP as the Fabian Socialist organization that it is; a creature of Leftwing, "frothy" Whites, created for the express purpose of luring American Negroes into endless confrontation with American Caucasians. (See Creating Hate In America Today.) But I have treated their local representatives with civility, even though I do not agree with them or respect their organization. But in the future?

The Left becomes increasingly arrogant in their demands. In this, there is evidence that they smell victory over America and the American way of life. It is important that we make certain they never have such a victory.

Sam Hayes, the council's only black member, then delivered an impassioned speech to keep the banner flying.

looks like there is more than one black conservative around.
Thank God for black conservatives.
