The civil war and slavery is nothing but history to me (my ancestors were all in Europe at that time). My feeling is that that was then, what was right then we've corrected and made it wrong now, and we no longer believe in slavery or any one race being "supreme" over another. That being said, I personally see the Confederate flag as no longer being a relic from the past but instead being a new symbol of political correctness gone mad. I think I'll buy one for that reason alone.
While you're at it, why don't you try recapture the innocence of white hoods and fiery lawn ornaments. That'll really stick it to those PC culture warriors...
Because nothing says let's try to work together than becoming more divided. MAGA!!!!!!
That's why we need a President who is truly interested in uniting us.
Problem -- I believe it works better for Trump to have this division.
Well, it does work better for him. It revs up his base. We'll see if it works better in 2020.

Oh wait, Open Borders has been outlawed since the beginning, Obama just broke the law.
Nope. I hope any of my neighbors who are still fighting the civil war - fly that flag high so I know who they are. And, if they want to wear a white hood - that's good too. Or perhaps have one of those little black statutes in their yard. Yeah - go all out.

But they are convinced there were. And the gun manufacturers LOVE them for it. Gun sales are down - so the NRA is trying to whip up some enthusiasm for more gun buyers.
Revving up his base should not be his goal. He won't lose those people -- EVER....but he has to try to keep moderate Republicans and convince people that don't identify as liberal or Democratic necessarily that he can do this. So far, so not so good
If the Democrats could have passed new, more restrictive gun laws they would have. If Hillary had won, and had a Democrat majority in Congress they would have. She would have appointed more far left activist Justices like Kagan, Sotomayor, and Ginsberg to uphold the gun bans, and confiscations. She said as much during her campaign. It was yet ANOTHER reason SHE LOST.

No,but it seems to make you happy to go with woulda,shoulda,coulda.

Maybe they should come out with a line of Dixie guns--put little confederate flag decals on them or do the gun in the fashion colors of the flag. I'm sure Ivanka would assist with the design and chinese manufacturing. In fact, I would not be surprised if she did a line of confederate flag shoes. Make that flag kitchy.
So you know nothing about history, let alone current events. You know what they say about leaving no doubt...

Why are you so interested in controlling the behavior of people in another country? You live in Mexico, no?
