Not every Southerner supports the flying of a Confederate flag at school. I am one that does not. It is not our national flag, and it has no place there unless it is in a history class being used as part of a lesson. Ignorance is not realizing that there is a time and place for everything, and a public school is not the place for this flag. For years the Confederate flag has been linked to racism, and therefore, it offends some people. Students have the right to go to school without anything that makes them feel discriminated against. Also, don't give me a lecture about Southern pride. It is fine, but keep it out of the schools.

I support that flag with undying love and pride and it should be flown wherever anyone wants to fly it. They think it represents racism well that's just tough luck for them. They should know better or at least educate themselves.I am a dyed in the wool southerner born and bred and rebel till the day I am dead. That flag makes my heart skip a beat unlike the stars and stripes which I hold in contempt. There are many versions of southerners. Some like yourself forgive the yankees some like myself don't and never will.

Ya, that's where Bill & Hilary were from.

Plus, a true Hanity conservative like him should think that seat belt laws are a violation of personal liberty anyway (and I'd agree).
Not where I am from. They have nailed many people I know.

You are new to this forum, and you are just trying to stir up hatred and ignorance. Have at it. Who knows if you are even really from the South. I have lived in the South for all of my live, and I love it. I am proud to be a Southern American, and realize that no one has done anything to me or you. After reading this last post, I believe you are the one that needs to educate yourself.

Yep, now I am convinced you're just a troll. Or an unamerican POS.

Do I get any extra points for hearing some OTHER redneck on his radio mention "Benghazi"?

BTW, most all police departments have seatbelt policies that make wearing them optional for officers.
I think you have that backwards. Most states exempt police officers from wearing seat belts...and some departments and localities don't give them the exemption and require it.

P.S. How is Hannity a redneck? He even mocked lost causers.

What I hate is never reading posts on here from people in regions with below average results in educational attainment discussing how those results could be improved. It is no coincidence that in high performing regions, issues like this garbage are NOT discussed. Their kids are winning, going on to live upper middle class or higher lifestyles.

Rural America's teens are the next generation of methheads.
