Whenever I see a confederate flag, treason or slavery rarely ever comes to my mind. I'm a history buff of sorts, have studied mid-1800s U.S. history, many facets of the Civil War, and antebellum history in detail. The very first thing that pops into my old noggin is the soldiers. Not slavery itself, not the plantation atrocities, not the stinking social morass of racism. Just the young or older guy, for fear of being labeled a Yankee-lover (or worse, a coward), joined his state militia and marched to expel 'the invaders'. Yeah, the South has a peculiar way to look at history and facts, don't it. To them 'treason' was not fighting 'northern aggression'. Whatever that was. Family vs. family, in-laws vs. in-laws, cousin against cousin, brother against brother. Before the war, West Point generated the cream of the Confederate officer corps. The combatants' leadership were brothers, until secession separated them. I'm really liberal for an Oklahoman, but the battle flag affiliated with Robt. E Lee, the terrible war's end in surrender by his Army of Northern Virginia, has a share of honor, whereas the other CSA flags do not. Those swastika decorator flags, and the idiots who tote them, are meaningless BS in the tank treads of time.
It will also be in all the school curricula if the stupid Libtards would just stop pretending it's not true.
Just saw your reply to a post I made. You are a fucking, racist moron. You flunked the IQ test.
It took you a month to figure out how to check your notifications? And you're calling other people stupid? LOL.
Oops forgot to post this pic.
In charge of those flags? Well, yeah, eventually.
Sigh...and your point would be?
Utah
Yes. I think you've got it.
Right. Nobody had a problem with it until it was repurposed as a symbol of opposing civil rights.
Now, we have a fucking problem with it. What was your point?
Ooops, you beat me to it.
I don't have a problem with them honoring their hypothetical ancestors. I have a problem with them using the Treason Flag to do it.
The ghost of Sherman may be checking his new-fangled flamethrower.
Only erraticaly
Because the Swastika is banned in Germany, some neo-nazi and skinhead groups have taken to flying the Confederate flag. I wonder why?
