It would probably behoove of you not to visit the South anytime, since there is nothing but traitors here to you. D.
Not all traitors. Just the ones who slap a traitor flag on their pickups.

And don't worry, I won't be visiting any time soon. Thank god.

Believe what you believe. And I believe I'll keep voting in US elections and renewing my US passport every 10 years.

Agreed Yac. Let's keep it the discussion to the hicktraitor flag and all the inventive ways we can desecrate it. The indignant reaction from turncoat apologists is enough for a laugh.

Your name calling, cultural slurs, and obvious hate for southerners is sad. If you don't have family that was in the south during Lincoln's war of aggression for tax revenues, you don't have a clue why some people have a totally different feeling about the flag and that feeling has NOTHING to do with slavery or racism. Keep in mind (although you probably have no clue on the subject) that slave ownership was something that was not participated in or agreed with by all southerners. Even in MS where the highest percentage of people owned slaves, more than half DID NOT own slaves. Nevertheless, Lincoln's war sent soldiers marching through, burning, terrorizing and destroying complete cities and towns, brutalizing women and children in the process, even the ones who cared more about blacks and slaves than most northerners. Thats the most common misconception is that all southerners hated and mistreated blacks while northerners loved them and treated them well. That was far from true as blacks were treated poorly in the north as well and did not get respected as equal human beings the way they should have. While slavery was wrong, evil, and in need of being abolished, the Civil War cost 600,000 lives and was not fought over slavery as much as it was fought over taxation. Slavery could have been ended without a war, and remember also that in the Union's march through the south, they brutalized slaves just as much as they did white southerners, they did not care for them at all.


The saddest thing is that dispicable hate groups have used the confederate flag in their twisted and sick gatherings and hate acts, and that people think the flag stands for those fools and morons. That is not what most people that are admirers of the flag think of it at all. I admire the confederate flag and share as much dislike for hate groups as any other reasonable person.

Recall we're talking about the traitors of 140 years ago, and the misguided tendency of some today to cast their cause as honorable.
Perhaps you should read up on European views of the War for Southern Independence. You will quickly find that there was little support for Lincoln.

And now I question you, What in fact was that honorable cause that you label as misguided?

To Carolinajack and others, sorry I didn't get here sooner. They's a PC critter or something eating up my www surfability.

Thanks YAC, i think there are a few people around who think they should personally attack others views, instead of addressing the topic

It's news that one of the most liberal senators in history is against the Confederate flag? That's news? What next, the headlines will read "the sky is blue?"

You know liberals, they are all for acceptance and diversity, as long as it's for what they stand by and want. I would be willing to place a bet that she has no problem with people flying the Mexican flag though! I've lived places in the West where Mexican flags fly more than American flags (and this is in America). But she'd be all for that "diversity" and "acceptance" of those with different views, backgrounds, beliefs...
