J jamie2112 Banned Oct 9, 2007 7,869 0 0 Apr 28, 2009 #4 Why, he removed a redneck symbol and a racist symbol? Just my 2 cents but I get a little upset when I see that flag flying. Its not a valid flag anymore and it holds very bad memories for millions of americans. Its a redneck racist flag if you ask me and what has been associated with that symbol over the years has not been positive...

Your opinion only proves your ignorance on the subject. And likely is based off of the opinions of the leftist media. These folks that are burried there fought and died under that flag. they have every right to display it proudly. Just because you dont agree with it doesnt make it wrong. This country is great in that way. People can hold differering opinions on things and still you cant trample on their rights. He desicrated 4 graves while stealing to do it.....your OK with that to arent you?

If you are still loyal to the confederacy than you are not loyal to this country and our an enemy. Yes many people died in the worst war in our history, but this is no reason to continue showing the flag of rebels protesting the election of a republican. And don't give me the crap that I don't understand. I do understand. I was raised in the south and people that wear and honor that flag are usually racists. This is from first hand experience.

I know this is hard to understand because southern propaganda teaches otherwise. That's only to sugarcoat the truth and allow us to glorify our heroes like Robert E Lee. Slavery was the main state right the south wanted to preserve. Who wants to say Lee was an evil man. But he was on the wrong side in a losing war.

I would fight for your right to display your flag that represents the opposite of my dearest beliefs. Thats what this country is about.

When poeple start trying to determine whats acceptable and whats not.....someones rights will be trampled on. Today its the I hate Whitey we dont tolerate.....tomorrow its the (Insert whatever flag here). Thats my point. We cant allow that to happen. The thievery and grave desicration alone is my rant.....nothing more. Race has nothing to do with this. I only responed to race after it was brought up. I didnt speak on it at all in my OP.
