Hooray for Faux outrage.
That would be a false notion, I grew up in the South and have seen the Confederate flag used as a symbol of racism and hatred, I have always supported its removal from government grounds, it just happens that it is a current topic in the news therefore a common theme on a current events forum site.

And something tells me you've seen the flag NOT used as a symbol of racism/hatred a hell of a lot more times than it has.

I hate traitors with the Cascadia flag, not Portland

Like you would admit it anyway.

Keep rolling with that faux outrage.

Okay, you are free to hate whomever you want. Though considering those in the Northwest as traitors because you are mad about what is happening to the Confederate flag right now is just silly, but hey, if it makes you feel hateful to others for no good reason, then have fun with that.

Like you even know me or my life experiences, though it doesn't really matter.

I've spent many years living in both Alabama and Georgia and have never seen it used as a symbol of racism and hatred, hmmmm weird. Most of the time I saw it, it was in flying at someones house, on a vehicle or on a tee-shirt. You see someone attacking blacks while waving the Confederate flag or something? I think someone has seen to many pics of the Klan during the early twentieth century.

Well I have no interest in going into detail of my experiences when I lived in Virginia with some random person online who probably would ignore it anyways. If your experiences differ from mine, then there isn't anything I can say that would change that.

Didn't agree with me?

Thank you. This post of yours is exactly what I am talking about.

I have always supported gay marriage.

What I don't support is the SCOTUS. Not when it takes the liberty to rule in favor of popular opinion while taking state's rights away at the same time.

No one should.

Slippery slope to travel down….because when the SCOTUS is full of Conservatives judges, the liberal judges already set precedents. HUGE precedents.

Quote:
Oh and last time I checked, marriage is about "feelings." I married my wife because I felt I loved her and my feelings told me she was the right person for me to spend the rest of my life with. Do you not use your "feelings" when making some decisions? I am willing to bet your frustration with the SCOTUS decisions is rooted more in "feelings" than "logic."
