Pentagon Sidesteps Trump to Ban the Confederate Flag

[Call_me_Ishmael]

Never heard it. Have no desire to. Funny that you do.

Self flagellation must be addictive. So many here seem to be doing it.

What is this gibberish supposed to mean? Did any of that make sense, even after 3 edits?

The founders were liberals, like me. Not Hamilton.

Never watched Hamilton. I REALLY…REALLY…REALLY…REALLY…there aren’t enough reallys. REALLY…do not like Broadway/musicals.

If the founders were liberal, then aren’t those today tearing down statues and destroying the property of others just following the example of the founders? Do you advocate such actions, since you claim you be a liberal like the founders, who destroyed the property of others and tore down statues?

You deleted it. I have no idea what I said that bypassed some filter. So it will happen again. Ban me now sneaky and get it the ■■■■ over with.

The word you used one letter and ____ instead of letters for. I think you do know what it was.

I absolutely advocate such actions. I love it.

How is that side-stepping Trump?

Think it’s more of an inference. Trump probably doesn’t care, or at least only cares if it helps or hurts him politically.

Inferred from his comments about people who “love” the confederate flag aren’t thinking about slavery, disagreeing with the NASCAR ban, first amendment issues, etc. He has been critical of the flag in the past though.

Still not sure why the military or any government agency would allow the display of a foreign flag.

I meant to thank you for replying. Thank you.

Now I am being called racist… could have called it .

He said nothing that hasn’t been said about us all the time. The left here including yourself have made similar accusations innuendo’s.

Now that shoe is on other foot…

@SixFoot

No, not racist, just using language about people based on the color of their skin in order to make a point. How quaint.

I think this is worth repeating…

Pop quiz…Which organization has been called a terrorist by this administration BLM or KKK?

KKK sure as hell has been called a terrorist group.

@TheRedComet

As a southerner, I see it as a symbol of trauma.

The south sacrificed a generation of its sons under the Confederate regime. And it wasn’t a cause to be proud of.

There are many other symbols that do a better job of representing our heritage.

Great post.

All those poor southern young men who died so wealthy plantation owners could keep their slaves. Who today wants to pretend it’s “heritage”?

KKK sure as hell has been called a terrorist group.

Are they designated as a terrorist group.by.the government?

@conan

KKK sure as hell has been called a terrorist group

By the Trump admin?

[conan]

No…I seen some petition out there to get it on terrorist list before.

As for BLM…I don’t think they’re terrorist but badly misguided. That and being used by certain elements in our society.

Now I think Antifa is possible a terrorist org.

Nobody who isn’t racist would go on a racist “rant”.

LOL I find this funny as hell.
