Are you saying that you hate America or that Lincoln was a bad president?
I think you're saying you hate the idea of liberty and states rights...the Civil War was the tipping point after which the Federal government gained more and more power. The stating of facts in no way implies a hatred of America on my part...I wish I could live in America, it sounds like a great place.
Sharpton is pretty much ignored by most of the public nowdays.He is like the person crying wolf over and over again.Seems he is only ionvited as a guess to stir rating on TV because he can be counted on to start something.
Yeah sharpton thinks everythings racist towards blacks. Its like this, If he sees a white person talk to a black person he calls them racist and if they don't talk to a black person he calls them racist.
It must be kept in mind that Al Sharpton is NOT a "reverend" and represents NO ONE but his own hate filled self.
He has NO IDEA about American History and is, like Obama and the Nazi/Soviet Socialists in Congress, attempting to subvert and destroy the United States.
If the Rod & Gun Club has a Confederate Battle Flag, why does Sharpton not show proof of it before he mouths off about it??
But if it the VP were to go have lunch at a Mexican diner that flew the Mexican flag above the American, I'm sure he'd have no problem with it.
Now that I live in TN I see the confederate flag a lot more often than I used to in Texas. I used to have one myself on the front of my truck. If a person wants to fly it, they are completely free to do so. Some see it as a racist symbol, but when I sported it, it was my symbol of rebellion against the overbearing US government. Many people I know feel the same way about it. Sure some people use it as a hate symbol, but that shouldn't mean now that everyone has to pull it down because there are some who use it for ill purposes.
It is a sign of hate(confederate flag) and not rebellion.It's a reminder of slavery and racism towards black people.Thats like saying a swastika stood for a united Germany and not the killing of millions of innocents.I do believe though that Sharpton jumps on things before he knows for sure(ie-Tawana Brawley).Do we even know if Biden went inside and saw the flag?In a Mexican restaurant I don't have a problem.It's the flag of the country.Like inside an italian restaurant,the italian flag.
I despise the VP, think its odd that people still revere the confederate flag as if it recalls some great time in history-hello? it was basically treason.
At the same time, Al Sharpton is media wh*re-with a perm.
At least it's an American Flag.....unlike the Mexican Rag Flag.
The Rev. Al Sharpton has just issued a statement criticizing Vice President Dick Cheney since it has been reported to him "by media" that the Vice President's hunting trip Monday is being conducted at the Clove Valley Rod & Gun Club in Union Vale, New York, where, Sharpton alleges, "there is a Confederate Flag hanging at the club."
I do not know this to be true.
In fact, it seems fairly clear that Rev. Sharpton does not know this to be true.
My comments about Al is the the same as they are about Rush.
Shut Up.
Fact or Fiction, if it's coming from your mouth, I don't care.
