The flag of the Confederacy should be flown. On state grounds if they so choose. It's their right.

115. I am not metting out any kind of retribution. Period.

In my original post, I made a joke at the expense of those who which to fly a flag of a failed state (the Confederation), that came into being on the cornerstone of slavery. That flag that flies on the grounds of the State House, is one of the flags of a nation that was hostile towards the United States.

"Our new Government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition." - Confederate Vice President Alexander Stephens

That flag that people are so desperately clinging to (not just in the south), is a symbol of slavery. In its current form, it is a symbol of racism and hate. That is what I am making fun of.

These ass-hats are the butt of my joke...


I seek no retribution as I firmly believe that this is not representative of the south. I have never, ever, ever, shit on the south. In fact I'm pretty darn sure that you would be hard pressed to find a post where I do. But, to save you time, you can judge my posts for yourself.

... I could go on.

The fact that you cannot see the difference between the south: A culturally diverse and wonderful region of the United States, and the Confederacy: A nation built on the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition.
