If you love that flag so much wear it to work or your place of business. Let the people around you know that you support everything the flag stands for. If you feel that you cant do that it should tell you something is wrong about your perception of things. I was in a restuarant with my family eating and right in front of me was a 400 pnd A%%hole with a rebel flag shirt on that said if this offends you,you need a history lesson. Do you know what I thought about him and how that shirt affected me and my family. The answer is no you dont and you never will so yeah I hate that flag. Jewish people dont have to go into restuarants and see reminders of the holocaust so why do blacks

I would but they don't have a "Dixie Outfitters" out in here in the wild west. If you didn't like the guy's shirt, don't look at it, simple as that.

So yeah, you hate the flag, good for you, but your opinions don't make it God honest fact.

I have nothing but pure resentment and contempt for stormfront, and why would you even care what some guy thinks?

Easy answer to that one, DK. That is the only response they can come up with. It is simply beyond comprehension to that ilk that anyone who disgrees with them on this subject could possibly be motivated by anything sans hate and racism (whatever the hell that means, anymore). Moral superiority, and all...

Let's...for the 10,000th time, get this treason thing settled. Chief Justice Salmon Chase told Sec. of War Edwin Stanton, the following:

"If you bring these leaders to trial, it will condemn the North, for by the Constitution, secession is not rebellion...His (Jeff Davis') capture was a mistake. His trial will be a greater one. We cannot convict him of treason."

Or what the judge (Franz Lieber) said. He was the one appointed to prosecute the case. He admitted, stated bluntly in fact, "After studying more than 270,000 Confederate documents, seeking evidence against (Jefferson) Davis, the court discouraged the War Department: 'Davis will be found not guilty,' Lieber reported 'and we shall stand there completely beaten'."

Maybe YOU think secession was treason, but those who actually lived the day (and would have loved nothing more than to hang the Southern leaders) knew it didn't hold water.

I have to give you credit I dont believe you are a storm fronter. I just get angry about the love for that flag. I see it almost everyday and I hate to see it. What if I drove around with a black fist on my car tag,besides being constantly stopped by cops Im sure whites on the road would be angry about it, well thats how I feel everyday. As that flag reminds me that Im not seen by all Americans as a true citizen of this country.

Keep it up though,waving that flag calling us the N word killing little girls with bombs all that stuff is why we have and will continue to overcome.

Secession,Their. There now we can read your pathetic childish rant in English.
