Confederate flag dispute in Kentucky

I would go even further and call them traitors. They are not just expressing allegiance to a racist idealogy, but expressing allegiance to a nation that broke away from the United States, fought a war, was defeated and then occupied. Flying a confederate flag expresses is not an expression of pride, but a statement of allegiance to the Confederate States of America which was an enemy of the United States.

 

To add on to what's been said, remember that what we call the Confederate flag was really a battle emblem -- It's not the Stars and Bars. That was the actual CSA flag -- that was revived in the 1950's as a symbol of resistance to the movement to end the American form of apartheid. Since then, if you wave it, you're a racist.

 

"We are a conquered people." -- Maj. Gen. James Longstreet, 1868

 

"...but if that idiot Lee had listened to me at Gettysburg we wouldn't be. Half a mile, uphill, over open ground? What a fucking tool."

-- General James Longstreet (under his breath), 1868.

 

No 15,000 men ever arrayed could take that ridge.

 

"It is all my fault."
"Yeah, no fucking shit, genius."

I happen to have covered a couple of events at Allen Central High School. Accelerated? Really? You couldn't tell.

 

I blame NASCAR for crap like this still happening in this day and age.

 

It's accelerated for the once-in-a-generation National Merit scholar who wants to get the fuck out of Dodge and make something of themselves.
