I always thought the confederate flag was just a way of saying [censored] the Yankees. Guess you cant express that sentiment no more. Well, now that you mention it, that's exactly what the rebel flag's about. Doesn't and never did have a thing to do with slavery. That's a bit of revised history that just happens to be convenient today. Black leaders hate the flag because it does pretty much represent the southern States' vigorous resistance to integration in the 1960s. Slavery, the American "peculiar institution" was generally accepted before the war, and the abolitionists were the hysteric fringe of society at the time. All Appomattox courthouse established once and for all was that the rights of the states were subordinate to the union, and that the states and all of the people were forever more subjects of the person occupying the white house in Washington from time to time. At least (for now) we still have term limits on the monarch. Now the battle is about which of the three branches of government will rule. We seem to have three legislative branches presently, with the actual elected legislature being hindmost in the race...Geo

Oh silly keith,
Er, Ive been a libertarian for a long time. We dont like leftism.
I never defended Soros. I pointed out it is a long stretch to call him a Nazi collaborator. I never defended Sanger or PP either. I pointed out it was a really long stretch to call it black genocide.
Youre a binary thinker (and a piss-poor thinker) which makes it worse. You not very good at comprehending nuance or scale. I think you might have a learning disability. How many chromosomes do you have? Ill give you credit for intuitively understanding eugenics was very bad. A defective like you would have been a target for sterilization. Today we know the science was flawed so you have nothing to worry about. Carefully read that last sentence before you go off the rails.

RyanF, I guess now we can expect you to hide like a coward behind the Libertarian moniker. You said that Soros was NOT a Nazi collaborator... even after he has admitted to it. You still haven't backed away from your claim that the birthplace of Eugenics was Michigan. Was there a Michigan in ancient Greece? You posted links in defense of Planned Parenthood that included an article written by an author who was clearly biased, offered no census or statistical data to back up his claims, and who was a recipient of large sums of money from Planned Parenthood. Then you acted like a whiny little b*tch when things clearly showed you were an agenda driven idiot.
Insult me all you want. Your words and actions prove that you are a Liberal apologist, a liar, and a crybaby assh*le. Since you won't eat crow after having been proved wrong, why don't you go screw a crow.

OK, here's a question. The South Carolina shooter who wore a Confederate flag was in the minority, but because he displayed that flag, it automatically becomes a symbol of hatred and racism that must be abolished.
So even though they are also a small minority... since there have been a tiny number of cops who were racists and who unjustly killed, beat, or falsely arrested blacks and other minorities while wearing a U.S. flag on their uniform, would Southerners be equally justified in demanding that the U.S Flag be removed from State and Federal property? Could Japanese descendents of those Japanese held in interment camps during WWII also claim that the stars and stripes is a symbol of hatred and racism?
I shouldn't give people ideas. The way we're headed, the U.S, flag will probably be replaced by the Faggot Flag within a few election cycles.
I wonder what percentage of Confederate soldiers who fought and died actually were connected to, or profited from, slavery. I'd guess is was a very small minority.
Anyone notice certain so-called Libertarians who feel that abortion and Bruce Jenner changing sex is nobody's business remain totally silent about a majority of Southerner's desire to keep displaying the flag of their heritage?

Here's another interesting resource. It's for anyone who might make the mistake of thinking that ED GOOD is a gun guy who supports the 2nd Amendment. Know your enemy. Don't forget that King Brown and Jagermeister are among the most prolific ant-gun trolls who inhabit this forum.
