I'm not telling you what I think, I'm telling you what I've observed. Who said I fly a Confederate flag? You know what assuming does.
Well if that isn't what you think then maybe you should've attributed your quote to the correct person(s). And you're right I shouldn't have assumed that you flew that flag. Maybe confederate sympathizer would have been more appropriate.

Actually, saying I'm someone who is respectful of history would have been more appropriate.
Are you seriously justifying whether it is okay to fly a confederate flag based on a cheesy 70's television show?
I'm suggesting that not everybody who flies the flag is racist. This is a liberal media myth that you bought hook, line, and sinker.

That's a bizarre conclusion you've come to. My point was that not everybody who flies the rebel flag is a racist. People who overreact to it are the same ones who would call a harmless family-friendly show like the Dukes of Hazzard racist, when it reality it was far from being racist.

I wasn't the one who was trying to make a point by referencing a TV show. Is it just live action TV that you can use in making points or can you use cartoons. Bugs Bunny had a lot of violence, so I guess in your world it is okay to hit someone with a baseball bat. Bugs did it, so it must be okay. Just because something is on TV does not make it right.

That's a pretty tenuous argument at best.
The American public should not have to change their own history so as to not offend those who either don't know it or those who choose to believe a perverted version of it.

so funny! It always makes me laugh when people say it is a "liberal" bias that Americans believe the Confederacy were racists but then find some second-rate tv program to justify their own racism. I suppose "Hee Haw" is next.
