I used to like New York Seltzer. I can't remember the last time I saw that.

On a side note, the facebook conversations on the bottom of that page brought up an interesting point. A designer of the second Confederate flag had this to say. "As a people, we are fighting to maintain the Heaven-ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race; a white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause.[4]… Such a flag…would soon take rank among the proudest ensigns of the nations, and be hailed by the civilized world as THE WHITE MAN'S FLAG.[5]… As a national emblem, it is significant of our higher cause, the cause of a superior race, and a higher civilization contending against ignorance, infidelity, and barbarism. Another merit in the new flag is, that it bears no resemblance to the now infamous banner of the Yankee vandals.[6]"

Sure it is.

George Washington owned slaves, some while he was President. Should we tear down the Washington Monument too?



It won't end, this is just the start,......

We should make you a slave in modern times...heck go back in time and see how that one goes over lol

And your point is? There is nobody alive today who was a slave, we are several generations past that now.

If rand paul is anything like his father I honestly pray he becomes president. For me its like hes our only hope starting this country back on a path to what is should be.

and they are choosing to take it down. The federal government is not making them take it down, the people are stating their opinion to take them down.

If you were to take a vote here in south carolina it would come.out that as a state we want it to continue fly.(I personally dont count because im from new york and care less about the confederate flag., the issue in Irvin California on the other hand really pissed me off, that was the first time heard about it)
However because of the few who are making it into the media
Nikkei Haley is feeling the pressure to take it down.

Its once again those who speak up are the ones who are getting there way. However through fear of retaliation for the most part no one is standing up for it to stay flying.

Its why you'll seems people who live off Medicare and welfare. Are the loudest and quickest to speak up when there lively hood is threatened. Its also why this country is going down hill to many people are afraid to stand up for what's right. And Most decent people who have to work and actually contribute to society have to much to do, to actually take on more, by standing up for what's right.
And those that dont have to work and get everything handed to them have the freedom all day to do as they please.

Its again why I pray rand paul gets elected. His father stated once. Something along the lines of. America was founded on the principle of hard work. Nothing is handed.to you. And he believes that same principle needs to be brought back to this country

^I completely agree. Who cares if some folks whose ancestors were slaves find the Confederate flag to be an offensive reminder of slavery. Fuck them, they're not important, I'm white and this country is all about me! I'm the victim!
