If you had a clue what you were talking about you wouldn't have stated that statement.

See this thread...

The Confederacy protected the institution of enslavement of human beings. Can you get that through your thick skull? Even if you wish to deny that slavery played a major role in the secession you absolutely cannot deny that the Confederacy maintained slavery. Thus the Confederacy is a direct contradiction to the idea of liberty. Thus your support of the Confederacy exposes a deep flaw in your supposed belief in liberty.

AND IM NOT DEFENDING THE UNION. Nor would I glorify its own actions. So don't make that direct assumption.

I admire the Confederacy's resolve to tell the North to shove it, after the Northern mercantilists devised a scheme to exploit Southern industry. And I'm speaking as a Yankee, geographically of course.

I'm probably wrong but my gut reaction is that; better they take away the rebel flag from a state capitol than to try more gun control. Even just the gun control scares where no laws are passed are real and affect my pocketbook. Squashing the confederate flag does nothing to me.

So lets get that dirty flag off all State property. It's been waving over hundreds of times more evil than the the stars and bars ever did.

It won't stop with the flag, and shouts of gun control are generously mixed in with the shouts to take down the flag. Don't kid yourself.

Keep this in mind....................

"In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is…in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”

– Theodore Dalrymple

I refuse to give in to these unholy bastards. I think I will add a confederate morale patch to my kit, even though I had no emotional attachment to the flag prior to this event.

I don't like how they have given in to the progressives. as recently as the 80's the Confederate flag was mainstream in the south. the Dukes of Hazzard ran until 1985 on network tv, and there were no protests about the General Lee. now Wal-Mart won't sell a flag t-shirt. what about Che t-shirts? are they ok?

Yes, it's very sad how people capitulate to these gangster tactics.

Maybe but so far it's not like the Sandy Hook aftermath. The shouts for gun control are there but the rush on ammo and the gouging isn't.

Wal Marx bans Confederate flag merchandise.



Walmart declares it will stop offering ‘Confederate flag’ products

http://politics.blog.ajc.com/2015/0...will-stop-offering-confederate-flag-products/

June 22, 2015

When you’ve lost Walmart, you have truly lost the ‘Lost Cause.’ The nation’s largest retailer says it will remove all Confederate battle flag merchandise from its stores and website.

From CNN:

“We never want to offend anyone with the products that we offer. We have taken steps to remove all items promoting the Confederate flag from our assortment — whether in our stores or on our web site,” said Walmart spokesman Brian Nick. “We have a process in place to help lead us to the right decisions when it comes to the merchandise we sell. Still, at times, items make their way into our assortment improperly — this is one of those instances.”

Nothing new. Don't they already apply heavy censorship to the music allowed in their store?

Therefore I deemed that you were fighting the battles of our liberty, our progress, and our civilization; and I mourn for the stake which was lost at Richmond more deeply than I rejoice over that which was saved at Waterloo.

--Lord Acton to Robert. E. Lee. 1866

Do the shitlib PC SJWs even know what was saved at Waterloo? Do they even have a clue about where/what Waterloo was?

Could they possibly understand the connection between finally butchering the Jacobins on a rainy field in Belgium and the Confederate cause?

***rhetorical questions (of course they can't)

...if this whole media event, re downing the confederate flag, is designed to make rational people become apoplectic with rage, it has succeeded.

...maybe the idea is for all of us to stroke out.

Thus you are an imbecile and the conversation is concluded.

As I mentioned beforehand, the Union was not exactly fighting the good fight. Im not an imbecile that would think the North simply wanted to abolish slavery promptly and that was all the war was about. Of course it wasn't because that didn't become a significant aim until later on. But the matter of slave states/non slave states and the fear of the potential abolition in the future did play a significant role in sparking the secession.

You can argue about economics and tariffs playing a role too but dont neglect the slavery issue. The CSA protected slavery and would have maintained it for the foreseeable future of it had the opportunity. That is directly against the belief in liberty for all human beings. So your precious Confederacy did have a major aspect of it that was rotten to the core. And good riddance that it is long gone.

If all you can do is call me an "imbecile" and say "conversation over!" then I see you don't have any decent argument on your behalf. Your belief in liberty is a total sham if you can honestly feel strongly in support of the Confederacy.

^^^Read the thread I cited earlier

If and when you appear to have understood the contents thereof, we'll talk.

Till then, sorry for calling you an imbecile, but I call it like I see it.

Don't have opinions on subjects about which you know nothing.
