I'm not from the South, but I know the flag is not about racism for most Southerners. I had a rebel flag sticker on my car when I was a teenager because I thought it was cool... it had nothing to do with racism!
We can all sit back and watch as they rewrite history.... I agree with your post - except that history is not being rewritten - it is being erased. What I fully expect to happne in my state next week is that the flag will come down from the State House grounds. Which museum it will be placed in - I'm not sure - but it is being relocated not done away with - there is a difference. People will still be able to view this flag - just not on the grounds of the State House. Those removing the flag from Ft. Sumter are erasing history along with all the other knee jerkers.
True story.... things are being written out. |

| So dumb. People need to GROW UP and stop bein wusses. Not everything applies to them and not everything should be taken to heart. Pull the panties out of your a** crack people...It's ridiculous.
I love Dukes of Hazzard!! Last year in a pageant I decided to do, I was thrown the onstage question "who was your first TV crush?".
I thought a second and realized it WAS the boys of the Dukes of Hazzard and I said it too! Country boys that can get down and dirty. Maybe it didn't please the judges, but I was just bein honest. Lol.
I recently saw that they want to ban Gone with the Wind because of the rebel flag in it...are you kidding me?  |

Me too! The instant you tell me I can't or shouldn't do something, I IMMEDIATELY want to do it. Especially when it's something effing stupid like this. Despite being a born and bred northerner, the fact it's a "Rebel" flag makes me identify with it. It's not racist in the least. I'm buying one of these: http://greenrivertack.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_43&products_id=114&osCsid=31f0ea4e5ebcd61938ca46fe82953add |

| One of the guys at work drove the "General Lee" to work today, (long story but he has several of them and one was even used in the movie). At any rate, I wondered if maybe he should go home - heaven forbid he might offend somebody with his car. This WHOLE thing is just DUMB and a TOTAL double standard. (Why can't we have WHITE TV and what if we had a White people's college fund)?? - $HIT would hit the fan, that's what. |

| This is just the beginning of this mass hysteria of NOT to be associated with anything southern/Christian or like minded.
While all this going on, Trump's show was dropped from NBC for his blunt statements against Illegals, Then Macy's was petitioned to drop his clothing,,,Trump pulled his stuff out himself because he felt bad for Macy's. Palin was let go from Fox even though her ratings were sky high, the Ten Commandments are coming down on Oklahoma State grounds, and the list builds daily. Kaitlyn Jenner will win her second hero award this week on they ESPYS.
Pretty soon, the Christian Cross will be targeted as a hate symbol. I don't doubt it for a minute.

I've lived in the south my entire life. The southern flag is BIG with our youth around here. I know groups of ppl have twisted it into racism. But to us, most of us in the south. It represents one of the biggest losses of life in US history. Its a badge of pride and memory. Not of racism. I'd like to see them tell any of these people around here to take the logos off their back windows... we even have a deputy car with a rebel flag bumper sticker... I know and am friends with TONS of black people. Love them all as I would any of my friends. They're all just as ticked about the rebel flag crap and dukes being pulled as I am.
This is just another smoke and mirror trick to distract the american people from the true problems in a our country./ |

I loved watching the Jefferson's. George reminds me of a Bantem rooster just strutting around all the time. Cracks me up just thinking about it.
We were able to stay up to watch the Dukes and the Incredible Hulk and I have to say we turned out fairly normal in my mind. We did try some of the stunts and learned that two old Treflan barrels and some 2x4's do not make good bike ramps no matter what the General Lee can do.

If you're not going to wear them.....I won't either. Drink wine with no pants on an island...sounds like heaven to me. |

Location: Displaced Iowegian | All of this hoopla about the flags has brought out MORE Confederate flags in my area. I see them being flown everywhere.....that being said, I DO think that the Confederate flag should not be flown on any government buildings since it is neither a state or federal flag. JMO! |
