Think your wet behind the ears. Why do members from both stupid party's find it necessary to alienate the very people who voted for theis butt's.

Both party's to anyone with half a brain, know that they both throw the bull. Are full of it most of the time. One party finds it necessary, to belittle anyone gosh forbid who does not think as they do. The other one, needs to change for the better. They both need to stop the bologna, and get on with it, for the sake of those who did vote for their sorry azzes.

And one side, gosh forbid , has to play the blame game, that is all they know how to do .Use scare tactics to women, and little old people who scare easily. And the other side who is a bunch of wussies. And gosh forbid they stick up for their selves.

One side is Pathetic with their constant BS the other side is a bunch of Wuss who cannot for their life defend themselves.

Oh you got nothing. My point is much larger than one state. It's about conservatives disassociating themselves from the confederate flag and flying that flag on state houses across the nation.

This should be a no brainier for conservatives let's not associate our party with the flag that was against the creation of our political party, symbolizes treason against America, and the desire to see black people enslaved, yet everytime an elected official is pro confederate flag they are usually some conservative elected official.

I say that's because conservatives hate in 2014 and widespread support of that symbol of hatred amongst conservatives is just one indication.

You tell me - which state houses have the confederate flag flying on them? I know there isn't one in South Carolina (the thread that prompted you to come here and post on this). What I am telling you is that it is a NON issue and you're trying to make it one. It belongs on memorials/museums/etc. That's where it is. I think defending it being on a memorial makes sense but to you that equals 'hatred amongst conservatives'. Um okay.

You are free to apply whatever meaning you wish to the Confederate flag.

And everyone else should also be free to find whatever meaning they wish in the Confederate flag.

Naturally, people will find different meanings and symbolism for a piece of cloth.

As it should be, in a free country.

She is an entertainer or thinks she is, nothing more. I doubt many in our party really pay any attention to her. There are others like Laura Ingram that can be taken seriously. I don't always agree with her, but she isn't anything like Ann.

Precisely how I feel about it. That's why I generally think the whole Confederate flag thing is a non-issue. It's just a flag, for crying out loud.

I say go look it up. Or not.

I'm not trying to make anything an issue. Again the topic of this thread is what can conservatives do to stop alienating people. I think if conservative stop being pro a symbol of hatred like the confederate flag and flying it on state houses around the nation is just one no brainier step for conservatives.

And if liberals defend free speech, and the idea that symbols such as flags are defined by the person displaying them and therefore are protected free speech, what then?
