Could also explain why the French are such pu$$ies

 

[hdeck]

I have to agree - idiots who think they're representing their "heritage" . I'm saying thsi as someone who was born in South Carolina, and currently living the panhandle of Florida.

Because it is a symbol of our rich culture.

Remember to embrace cultural diversity, not bash it like the ignorant.

Actually the flag you are talking about is the Confederate Battle Flag. The national flag of the Confederacy was a different flag.

As for flying it....who cares? I see plenty of houses around flying the Mexican flag and nobody raises hell about that. Hell....if fact just down the street one of my neighbors is flying the German flag since his ancestry is German. To me flying the Confederate Battle Flag is no different.


Personally I fly the U.S. and Oklahoma flags in front of my house.

You think the South was coddled after the war? Think again....

What culture? There is no more Confederacy. They lost the war. It's over!!!!!

Someone mentioned flying the Mexican flag, the German flag...last time I looked they are still countries.

Maybe I should wear a Dole '96 shirt

Isn't it ironic that the American Revolution occurred, yet the North would not allow the South to secede from the Union? (yes, I know slavery is wrong)

I have no problem with people flying the flag if they want.....

Our rich southern culture and history that is celebrated across the beautiful south.

Don't be hatin' on other cultures you bigot.

 

[FuZoR]

how do we celebrate/represent northern pride?

anyways sorta off topic

i remember seeing a black guy with a HUGE cofederate flag as a cape moshing around at a show... it was funny

 

[0roo0roo]

no not really. a state is not a colony. a country that lets itself turn into factions will disolve. cannot be allowed.

I knew a guy who liked to collect memorabilia (especially lapel pins) from old campaigns. If it was a losing campaign, that made the memorabilia even more valuable to him.

The 'Civil' War was not solely about slavery.

How about an American flag???? It's all encompassing

 

[spidey07]

I'd be down for flying both.

With the confederate flag lower than the american flag of course.

 

[Schadenfroh]

Every freaking car here in southern mississippi has one on it, some even have it etched into their license tags and fly it on their flag poles.

correct, at first, it was not about slavery at all, it was about states rights versus central government
