Why they continue to wave the flag of traitors and losers when they are in the U.S military is somewhat of a mystery.
I'm not sure why any of this is still a mystery to you. Perhaps you are not actually listening.

That's irrelevant. The poster was referencing REGIONS of the country, not individual cities.

What? The poster noted Atlanta and Huntsville. Those are still cities are they not? Cities in the South. How is a list of economically depressed cities not relevant to that post.

He was noting those cities as exceptions to the economic depression of an entire REGION.

Why, then, would the rebuttal post cite a list of cities that are economically depressed?

Maybe you glossed over the word 'exception' in Got Here's post.

Insinuating those cities not cited were economically depressed. No I didnt gloss over exception. Cities make up regions. Do you think there are no cities in "the south".
How is noting specific cities in a response to a post noting specific cities not relevant?

Just alittle history in case you didn't know.


While New Jersey was a member of the Union, parts of South Jersey stretch below the lateral limits of the Mason-Dixon line. Cape May, Cumberland, Salem and part of Atlantic counties all lie south of the lines upper limit, but outside the line's eastern border.


New Jersey was a very split state. I'm not saying their was a need for that flag just pointing out the union state was not completely union. Often in the most DEMOCRAT, liberal state you will see the confederate flag in the southern parts of new jersey.


This flag does not completely represent racism, its a flag. Just like when NFL players don't kneel for the current American flag I assume they don't mean its RACIST. This flag was used in the dukes of hazard TV show, and it wasn't until sometime into the 90's were governments decided to ban it.

Wrong, they are only coming down in cities controlled by left wing loons. In the real America and real South you will find plenty of confederate flags. You will also find plenty of resentment or even open hatred toward all forms of political correctness. That sentiment propelled President Trump into the White House. Instead of backing off the left has doubled down on the leftism, political correctness and violence. The seeds of a new civil war have germinated and are taking root. With every statue you commie SJWs tear down you pour water and nourishment on the hatred you planted. The attempt to force the leftist worldview upon the country sadly will lead to tragedy. Whole chapters of future history books will be written on this era, an era that will be compared to the late 1850s. I cannot believe so many on the left think we will give up our heritage, history and rights to a bunch of dirty sign carrying pink haired hippies. We will not, not now, not tomorrow, not ever. I hope the next confederate flag all these lefties see is flying off a tank that rolls through the streets of thier blue state homes. I truly mean that.
