Whooptie doo, who cares about the Dukes of Hazard, with a KKK flag on top of their car. This has no relevence. The overwhelming use of the flag in NW Indiana is not one of ignorance but rather it is used with a racist agenda.


Here is another KKK rally for you with Klans men proudly depicting their terrorist symbols of the flag and Hitler hale, left arm up with hand open. Hey face it, give it up, it is a symbol of hate. Have you heard of the kkk, kOOL KOLORED kIDS, Who cares, your opinion is shallow and void in light of many evidences. You must be a flag waver yourself.

Another poster found, and posted, a Klan rally with the United States flag being used.

Is your desire to also ban the United States flag also (since the KKK used it?)

OBTW: How about knocking off personally attacking other posters because they disagree with you? You are in violation of the TOS when you do this. Let's keep the tone civil - OK?

I LOVE the history of the South and enjoy learning about our Nation's past. Mostly, I enjoy how that history isn't always as it appears.

There are many perversions occurring with the flags and symbols of the south as well as perversions in the telling and perceptions of her history.

There are also perversions in the telling of the history of Christ, but I wouldn't suggest all believers to throw their faith in Christ out the window.

Many in the KKK consider themselves to believe in God. Should God be thrown out and banned?

I get grumpy at times, but could never be considered a "hate monger".

Ignorant of some facts? Yes. I'm guilty at times of this. But I don't wear my ignorance as a badge. I still want to keep learning.
Let me guess, you learned your history in a Christian School perhaps or maybe even down south.

I'm not sure of the relevancy of your statement, but keep guessing.

Well, here in my region, we don't have the KKK waving the flag as you suggest -

So, while in Indiana you may have a few outcasts, that should not be considered stereotypical across the country.

Your statement above is certainly a non sequiter.

There was no relevancy. When someone cannot support their position, they will often resort to personal attacks or innuendos.

It means, he does not have a leg to stand on.

What are you talking about Greatday? His whole ARGUMENT is a non sequiteur! I've never even truly been down south but I know enough that it isn't smart to assume ridiculous things about the Confederate flag and it's flyers like you and I.

Like I said, it's objective in it's meaning, it means anything to anyone and southern pride to me.

You're right.

I need to stop feeding the "trolls".

Hell, GreatDay, why bother to dignify all that?

Inane rants and raves used to bother me. Today? More and more I just see them as what they really are. Inarticulate, hateful, clowns who don't know which end of the jack is up. They don't usually even make their own sides proud. Mostly trolls...

And I just want to go on record as...

*snorts in pure contempt of the breed" ..and tell 'em all to just kiss my Bonnie Blue, Lone Starred, Texas/Southern ass. And be done with it.
