Confederate Flag,"Everyone wants to get in on the Act"..

[ConfederateSS]

------What one does, Is them alone..No symbol or words can be used as a reason. Let's say companies are moving in to capitalize on a horrid event. Do you really think Apple cares..Guess what ,if there were no I-phones...or Facebook. This tragedy might not have happened. So maybe Apple is to blame. Now everyone wants to look like they care. To promote their stores etc..their political goals.
------As for rebels...Washington,Franklin,Adams..were rebels. All Americans are rebels....How many people who now want The Confederate Flag taken down. Realize, people are crazy. This will not solve anything. Humans will hate on each other. As soon as you get rid of one reason. They will just find another. Before 1861..The Stars and Stripes represented slavery/genocide(still does). New technology is making bulling and racism more powerful. Then ever before.
------Instead of making it an issue...We should ignore them...Take the hatred out of symbols(That are good. But then used and twisted by idiots,to serve their own views)(The crooked cross,was an Honored Hindu symbol.Used by Germans the wrong way). By letting people know..Hey,I could care less what your waving,wearing etc. Doesn't bother me at all...People have ignored the KKK for years..They're all but gone now. My father was a Knight of Columbus. I remember The K of C took on the KKK in a charity basketball game.The money went to St.Jude's Hospital. They whipped the sheet wearing loser's asses. Good thing they had hoods to wipe their tears with. ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)...Will military academies around the world quit teaching The SOUTHERN GENERALS STRATEGIES...because of a few dumb asses. NO!!! That's what I thought.....

FYI, the only reason the Nazis' back-to-font swastika is primarily associated with Nazism in the West is because very few Westerners are aware/familiar with the swastika as a Buddhist/Hindu religious symbol. In the East, the swastika continues to be used as a religious symbol.

[ConfederateSS]

------As for Those who don't see what The Confederate Flag really meant. Not used for hatred. It represented a time of AMERICA'S CAMELOT(not the kennedys)(Outside of slavery). AMERICA'S LAST AGE OF HONOR AND GLORY(Chivalry)..in a strange way. THAT IS WHAT THE MOVIE "GONE WITH THE WIND",is all about,not slavery. Although most Americans are idiots. Most don't know their own country's history or can find America on a map/globe. GONE WITH THE WIND, a movie which gave us our first African American Oscar Winner...Hattie Mcdaniel..(Mammy). It was America's Greatest and Darkest Hour. Should be remembered ,not forgotten and tossed under the rug. Just because there are people that try and force their views on the rest of us. Whether they be,racists,The Government, or goodie good doers,who think now we have to do things their way. For our own good. ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)....Today's movies..don't have a plot..They are filled with sex,explosions. Because Americans have a short attention span and can't follow a plot. Movie actors today don't have an ounce of talent the the old actors had. Movies are all computerized,there is no human touch to them.

It is important to understand that history is irrelevant. The people who abused that particular flag the most are the ones who are calling for its removal (the fact that some were using is as recently as their previous campaigns for president is ironic but also irrelevant as they don't care about history, but about the myths they have created for the people).

But if we were to be honest about the flag, the problem should not be "Gone with the Wind" but "Birth of a Nation." This movie, by the way, was given a private screening after it was released by one of the most bigoted presidents ever to sit in the White House (of course, being a Democrat, you won't learn that in school, because he is "beloved" or something like that). After the war, especially with the constitutional amendment to allow the former slaves to vote, the South turned Republican. Frustrated Democrats who wanted to put the genie back in the bottle (and then whip the bottle a few times for good measure) created the terrorist organization known as the KKK. It was that terrorist organization that adopted the rebel flag. (It also used the American flag often ... yes people are starting to suggest we should get rid of the Stars and Stripes as well.)

Of course, those who oppose the flag don't want to point this out because the connections between the KKK and the Democratic Party are so vast that it's impossible to cover them all up. Senator Robert Byrd was an active member of the clan while he was a senator! You can't bring up the historical records to condemn the KKK without bringing up these links at the same time.

Ironically it was not the KKK that restored the Democratic party, but the re-enslavement by the progressive policies of the "New Deal" and the "New Society" (the "New Enslavement ... only instead of to people to the government welfare state) that restored the Democratic party. This lasted for a while, and now having secured the base they need to expand it by bringing poor immigrants to depend on the party (this was not new, this was the policy of the northern Democrats since Tammity Hall).

-----I know...I'm a Roman Catholic ,Republican. I said in another post. I find it so funny. That the Democrats wanted to keep slavery. It was the Republicans who freed the slaves. But which political party do the African Americans back. The very one who wanted to keep them enslaved. Now that's loyalty. I still can't believe it. I know..the rich..the rich... Yes,you are correct. That's why they had time to fight slavery. You know save the whales,save the trees etc.etc. The rich have nothing but time. You already know a republican is for the rich. Where a democrat says they're for the poor,while shoving our money in their pockets. Who's fooling who...F.Y.I....America...Ancient Rome...was made up of people from everywhere. Protected their borders. While letting their interior fall apart. Had welfare(free grain),sporting venues ,partying all the time......SOUND FAMILIAR ... AMERICA!!! WAKE UP!!! ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)... Keep worrying about symbols and ignore the bigger issues,that are crushing us...

That the Democrats wanted to keep slavery. It was the Republicans who freed the slaves. But which political party do the African Americans back.

And let's not forget the way that Obama bows and smiles to the Queen of England whenever he meets her, even after George III's oppression of the American people.

What a sell out.

[ConfederateSS]

----- , Even more funny. The Queen's ancestor, probably brought Obama's ancestor. To the New World. With a promise of a luxury sea cruise and a stay at a palace in America. ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)...

Before 1861..The Stars and Stripes represented slavery/genocide(still does).

Love to have you clarify that statement, perhaps with facts as opposed to your opinion. All the literature I have read states a condensed history similar to this:

On January 1, 1776, the Continental Army was reorganized in accordance with a Congressional resolution which placed American forces under George Washington’s control. On that New Year’s Day the Continental Army was laying siege to Boston which had been taken over by the British Army. Washington ordered the Grand Union flag hoisted above his base at Prospect Hill. It had 13 alternate red and white stripes (13 colonies / bloody bandage from warriors references) and the British Union Jack in the upper left-hand corner (the canton).

In May of 1776, Betsy Ross reported that she sewed the first American flag.

On June 14, 1777, in order to establish an official flag for the new nation, the Continental Congress passed the first Flag Act: “Resolved, That the flag of the United States be made of thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation.”

[2dimes]

Ah yes Kool, you left out the most critical part of the story for this thread.

Soon someone invented the American flag trouser. The demand was so overwhelming it required slaves, to man production plants and cotton plantations.

[KoolBak]

Zingo! Can't believe it wasn't just transferred overseas

[mrswdk]

Wasn't the original American flag based on the EU flag?

[ConfederateSS]

-----For,Muy and Kool.(I'm guessing you didn't read things written by Slaves or Indians)..Clarify ..The British were in Hawaii ...Africa...Lets see...who brought the slaves over again...Just about have screwed up every region of the world...OH! YEAH! THE BRITISH... So British Colonies have slaves..The US breaks away..but keeps slavery as not to look undivided when trying to get France and Spain to join our REBEL cause against KING George the 3rd. Jefferson had everyone becoming free. But because we didn't want the south part pissed off. He had to rewrite Decla. of Ind. ,so instead of July 1st being our Independence Day, it's July 4th. So they could sell out the slaves and make us fight The Civil War years later. So when we became free on...September 3rd 1783 when the British left. The Stars and Stripes now had slaves under it. The blood of dead natives under it,as it would soon make more flow..in Manifest Destiny..Slavery From --1776/1783--to -- 1861..The Confederacy ...1861-1865..(no slave ships came during the Civil War.The Confederacy never brought slaves to America). Genocide of natives From 1776/1783--to --1924(Last of The American Indian Wars)..We are still taking their land..Even today..from time to time..When we see fit. Any more facts you want of The Blood of hatred on The Stars and Stripes... ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)...

Ah, you make it sound as if everyone back then and today all have the exact same thoughts. Well, even back then, when the Declaration was still being written, the issue of slavery was hotly contested. The Northern states only allowed the South at the time to keep them because they needed the help from the Southern states who were to stubborn to give up their "right" to own people. It remained a hotly contested issue for decades and finally erupted when the Southern states not only seceded from the Union, but fired upon Fort Sumter, sparking the Civil War. So while some were perfectly happy to keep slavery, many others were vehemently opposed to it from the start.

Expanding West? I won't deny that some pretty nasty things happened, many of which came from the US government. Genocide? No, not intentionally. Unfortunately for the various native tribes, they had not developed the same kind of immune system that the people of Europe had, making them much more susceptible to diseases that many people of European descent had become immune to over the centuries. So things that those of European descent would normally not even think about ended up hurting the Native Americans badly. The samething happened in Mexico and Central and South America. The people there simply did not have the immunities that the settlers had, which unintentionally wiped out a very large number of them.

Even with my fairly non-existent knowledge of the history of the USA, I'm pretty sure that when Confed used the word 'genocide' in relation to the expansion west he was not talking about native Americans dying of illness.

It was before they invented the sea container.

[KoolBak]

Dimey...

KK Confed...I disagree with your statement that THAT is what the flag REPRESENTS. Lots of ugly history from the first cavemen that took the best caves in a bloody fashion thru today...human nature.

Thanks for your post tho

[warmonger1981]

I thought the Dutch Trading Company brought a majority of slaves to Haiti first then export them to America. Slavery was the original capital for capitalism.

you used the internet to communicate your message of hate. Hate, because anything that goes against Political Correctness = hate.

Therefore, let us take down the internet.

PROGRESS!
FORWARD!

as Franklin noted 'Independence without unanimity means nothing. We shall all hang together, or most assuredly we will all hang separately' and as John Adams followed 'All 13 clocks must strike at the same time'



South Carolina was on the record to 'NEVER VOTE FOR INDEPENDENCE....EVER!!!' in the end, along with the rest of the South, they did realize they had to unite with Massachusetts and the Yankees that supported them. The clans needed to unite for a higher cause, to go for all or nothing.



New York was scared because they knew they'd likely get destroyed completely, but NY did not vote against Independence either.
