One nation, one flag. Put that rag next to your shotgun in the pickup truck.
I don't care for the amurican rag....didn't serve in its military,don't want its military occupying my land and don't care for its politicians or anything else to do with it. Give me a chance and I will burn that occupiers flag. I fly my stars and bars with pride!

Not a clue. I am not a republican or a christian or a hillybilly. Next ignorant comment?
I would say amurican education has done a hell of a job. Has relieved its self of ALL responsibility of the slave trade and pinned it entirely on the CSA....Despite the fact not a single slave ship EVER flew the flag of the confederacy. Thank goodness some of us never bought into the guilt trip and learned the TRUE history of our country,people and culture and know that in due time the world will know the truth. The enemy has written our nations history and is still trying to commit cultural genocide of our history and it will NEVER work.
Does the GOP realize this is an emergency, doesn't look like they care.
Ebola was an emergency last year also. This entire thing is a complete joke. Just like last year when I said ebola will be gone from the news in a short time, the same thing will happen to Zika.
We should throw them all out for even having this discussion.

This has already spread to the population Ebola did not, look at the CDC numbers, look at Puerto Rico and South Florida.

I gave ebola a couple months to disappear last year. Seems as I was generous as it was a couple weeks at most. Zika was supposed to be the big concern for Olympic athletes. Turns out the biggest concern was over green hair. A month tops and the story is gone.
This is all about getting money for political pay offs.

What's stopping you from burning the American flag?

Like General Robert E. Lee?
"Dixiecrats resurrected the "Southern Cross" flag as a political symbol around the time President Harry Truman supported efforts to end lynchings and desegregate the military in 1948. During that same period, the Ku Klux Klan began using the flag more widely."
The first national flag of the Confederate States of America was created in 1861 and had seven stars to represent the breakaway states of South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas.
The unending controversy would not have surprised Lee himself. It is why he opposed building Confederate memorials in the first place.
In April 1865, after four years of civil war, Lee surrendered the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia and soon afterward accepted the presidency of Washington College in Lexington, Virginia. Letters seeking support for memorial projects received reluctant responses from the general-turned-educator, according to documents at the University of Virginia and the Library of Congress. Lee worried that building memorials so soon after the war would anger the victorious Federals.
"As regards the erection of such a monument as is contemplated, my conviction is, that however grateful it would be to the feelings of the South, the attempt in the present condition of the country would have the effect of retarding, instead of accelerating its accomplishment, and of continuing, if not adding to, the difficulties under which the Southern people labour," he wrote.
...In June 1866, Lee criticized a plan to build a monument to Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, whose fatal wounding at Chancellorsville three years prior had deprived the Army of Northern Virginia of its best corps commander. How could Lee ask war-ravaged families to contribute money for memorials when they lacked funds for food? "I do not think it feasible at this time," he wrote.
As to when the right time would come, later letters suggest Lee thought never. When a Gettysburg memorial association invited Lee to attend a meeting "for the purpose of marking upon the ground by enduring memorials of granite the positions and movements of the armies," Lee declined.
"I think it wiser moreover not to keep open the sores of war, but to follow the examples of those nations who endeavoured to obliterate the marks of civil strife and to commit to oblivion the feelings it engendered," he wrote.
So is it OK to discuss how bad slavery was ad infinitum without being told to "quit talking about it...no one alive now was a slave."
Well, none of you lived in the Confederacy either.
Wow, what a horrible correlation.
That is like saying don't drive a Toyota because Nissan.
