Reading this on CNN...not sure I disagree. It always makes me chuckle to see these kids roll up to Lukes with these things on their jeeps.

People still fly them quite a bit in Texas, and if you drive through Alabama or Georgia... they're fucking everywhere.

Of course it's from CNN. Apparently disagreeing with your government at times of social struggle is traitorous.

Bunch of dumbass talking heads spewing shit because they're fucktarded degenerates. If flying the south's flag that they wanted for their succession is traitorous, people flying Mexican flags should be targeted as terrorists then. Oh wait, targeting illegals goes against Obama's and the Liberal's plan for America so that it's alright.

Comparing mexicans and the civil war is a bit extreme

And its not technically from CNN.

It's all relative. Americans are traitors to the British yet we would call those same people that defected patriots. Although I don't care much for the confederate flag I see it as a symbol of American History. I'd rather be called a traitor than be oppressed by the notion of having a different belief because the victor is the one that writes history. Had the south prevailed then this would be the opposite side of the same coin.

The civil war was fought because they disagreed with the Norths idea of civil liberties and the government as a whole. We obviously all know that.

But to call dissidents, of wars-gone-by, traitorous is as much comparable to calling illegals terrorists. It's stupid.

[MENTION=1774]willizm[/MENTION] basically just said what I attempted to.

I'm not sure I agree with the traitor part but I agree about the flag constantly flying everywhere.

I'd rather see the confederate flag than the Mexico flag.

And rebels have and will always be part of life. I'm starting to think that they are not totally off their rockers. We could use a revolution.

Kids fly the confederate flag b/c they think its "cool"...the mexican flag at least has legit meaning to those who sport it.

I'm not sure I agree with the traitor part but I agree about the flag constantly flying everywhere.

I was laughing pretty hard this morning

 

[Chester Copperpot]

I take it my just now FB response was completely unneeded then?

 

[Mook]

No, it was needed. I was referring to my thumbs up.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

indeed. I feel like we need to have the same conversation on Snapchat and as many other mediums as possible now.

WHY ARE WE OFF TOPIC

 

[Mook]

Sorry sorry.

I grew up watching the dukes of Hazard with the rebel flag painted on the roof of the the General Lee. I never really questioned the meaning of the rebel flag then. I don't have a problem with it unless they are using it insinuate they are superior to other races or colors.

In 1861, Stephens explained to a cheering audience that the Confederacy was founded to expressly reject the proposition that men of all races were equal. Instead, Stephens stated, "The foundations of our new government are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and moral condition."

I like where this thread is going :disgunnabegud:

I don't have enough knowledge to have an opinion one way or the other but since I'm an American I'm just going to jump to rash conclusions and stand by them regardless of any facts that are presented to me.

Racist hicks.
