And lining pockets of those who will use all of this faux outrage to profit from it. What you're going to have happen is folks who otherwise didn't give to s***s about the flag seeking to obtain one just to protest the collectivists protests!
I don't care. I see that as a positive. I view using your money as a way to show support or dismay of a company or a cause as a very good form of activism. If people want to spend money supporting the confederacy go ahead. No skin off my back.
These libs need to stop trying to change history. Our state song is a part of that and people should learn it as it was written in a time of division. It was a call to leave the Union. It mentions "recent" hostilities that took place just before it was written. It brings up some of MD's history and places. It is part of what this state is. That part of history should not be forgotten.
Yes, it might be to the tune of "oh Cristmas Tree" or whatever but when seeing the words it is a bad ass poem/song. Leave it alone.
People in this country need to lighten up and stop getting offended by every little thing. It's getting pretty Effing ridicules!
Sheesh, this really has turned into a witch hunt. This whole seek and destroy anything that has anything remotely resembling anything with reference go the Confederacy is frighteningly close, if not worse, that the Mc Carthy era. I think I'm really starting to understand what motivates the IRA in their feelings about the English.
This "movement" to erase all vestiges of the Confederacy from our history , truly, is scary. What's next? Removal of any recognition of the Confederate dead at places like Gettysburg and Antietam? Anyone who has anscesgors who fought for the CSA being put on a watcblist and maybe be forced to wear a big , red "C" . Or maybe an "R" would be better? Banning historical reenactments of the Civil War and the same for Living History events? Only for people who portray Confederates, of course.
This is getting out of hand. So many people looking for something to be "offended" over. Lots of things that offend me are rubbed in mg face every day, and I just let it roll off. Nothing I can say or do will make these things just magicly vanish, if anything, speaking up would just make it worse. Free expression and all, being what it is. This Confederate hatred, Southern hatred really, is downright wrong. Is this still America?
There have been many previous failed efforts to replace the State Song. This time the effort might succeed.
Why did the other attempts fail if the song was so terrible? What changed? It's still the same song, right...
