Location: In the Hills of Texas | komet. - 2015-06-23 1:31 PM Bear - 2015-06-22 10:00 PM So I wonder what will be next. What about the Mississippi state flag? What about the states with "Stars and Bars" flags like Texas and Georgia? Wasn't the Stars and Bars the real flag of the Confederacy? Here are the top 5 state flags they are going after now... http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/confederate-flag-furor/flags-some-...
The biggest joke is the ones that cry about racism are in fact the people that are the biggest racists. | |

Location: East Texas | I had to share this post from FB from a good friend who is in the bail bonding business:
I have been working in the bail bond business for 15 years. Every person that is bonded out by any of our bondsmen has a file. I make that file and I enter all information into the computer so I can safely say I have entered all of the information pertaining to those individuals and at least 3 other individuals per each person they name as references for the said last 15 years. So I am sure I could be considered more or less an expert on bonding. I can swear in a court of law, under oath in front of anyone who cares to listen that WE have NEVER bonded a Handgun, pistol, rifle, shotgun, Confederate Flag, Stars and Bars, or any other flag by any other name, out of jail. Nor have we ever bonded a bottle of gin, whiskey, vodka, scotch, or bourbon out. We have never bonded meth, pot, pills, coke, or any other drug out of jail. Now if you want to know if we have bonded PEOPLE, HUMANS, MEN, WOMEN, OLD, YOUNG, WHITE, BLACK, HISPANIC, ASIAN, EUROPEAN, etc.... we can talk about that too. But, I would be willing to guess no one will hold a press conference, congressional meeting, or a legislative meeting in order to hear me talk about it. | |

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess you've never bonded a vehicle out for enabling a drunk driver or having too much ethanol in the tank.

Although I think this post is great and I agree with it wholeheartedly.....I can't help but feel you are missing the point completely when it comes to the confederate battle flag that is being flown in courthouses and used as a symbol by many. It is true to say that a confederate flag never killed anyone, however it is a still a symbol of hate and racism. We are better than that. Our Country is better than that. | |

It's a symbol of hate and racism TO SOME PEOPLE. Not everyone perceives it that way, not even black folks. | |

The biggest joke is the ones that cry about racism are in fact the people that are the biggest racists. Â
Heaven help, maybe all the states should make the federal government (and others apparently ) happy by just flying a white flag of surrender. . . . | |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | Liberals love going after symbols...... Especially if it can rally gullible sheep and work them into a frenzy and strengthen their power base. This whole incident is an excellent illustration of a "progressive" Saul Alinski precept: "Never let a good crisis to waste." If you think about it, over the years this is exactly what they have done and it works to their advantage. Why is it that people don't see through their tactics? I wish some conservative leader would really focus in on calling them out on this kind of thing on a national stage. | |

Location: Central Texas | copied this from another poster and I agree but most people just choose to be dumb enough not to know the difference. People just have to disagree about somthing, it's in our nature.
" It is freedom of speech not a rácial issue"
With all the other really important issues going on in this world, some people pick some of the strangest things to try and make issues out of.
It is a symbol and means many different things to many different people. Who am I or anyone else for that matter to say another person's feelings about it are wrong or unimportant. People who are requesting it be taken down or banned are just as guilty of discrimination. Either way, it makes no difference to me. | |

Location: In The Land of Cotton | The Alabama Governor just had the Confederate Flag removed from the grounds at the Capitol. In SC they could not remove the flag unless there is legislative action. However, in AL the Governor can if they want to, so he did.

In SC they could not remove the flag unless there is legislative action. However, in AL the Governor can if they want to, so he did.
That flag and anything associated with it is being jerked off shelves, removed from the internet, cars, flag poles etc. Governor Haley was asked to remove if from the statre house grounds today as Senator Pinckeny's body is lying in state there. The 2000 law states the flag may be taken down by the Governoe of SC for repairs. People were asking her to do just that. She did not, stating since there were no repairs needed she would be breaking the law. | |

I agree. I think this has absolutely and totally gotten out of hand. The time and energy spent on this is unreal and could be used to do so much more good. It's time to give it a rest and move on to something really important. | |

I saw a cartoon last night inferring the confederacy was akin to nazi germany. Really, people? That is disgusting. | |
