Simplistic view, not to mention bigoted.

This coincides with my opinion that the Confederate Flag should NEVER be flown in any traditional Union state where tens of thousands of men shed blood to defeat everything that flag stood for. From Kansas, through Iowa, the Rust Belt, into New Jersey, and furher up into New York and up to Maine. It should be ripped down from any flagpole that it hangs onto and relplaced with 🇺🇸.

Beautiful story, the realization he came to is something I wish would hit more people in this country.

It's a mystery why anyone flies it.

"The Confederate flag is the flag of traitors,"


Give ONE case where someone from the Confederacy was charged and found guilty of being a traitor.

There isn't one, is there?
No, the Latter Day Loons who make up the liberal faction of our population don't know anything about history. They read headlines and then consider themselves fully informed. Once they are fully informed they are ready to tell everyone else what should be done.

Why are you letting other people and their actions control your emotions/feelings? Let it go man, at some point you've got to stop being weak and be a man.
