However, you are not entitled to disagree about facts.
Why? You do ALL the time!
Name one example, pussy.

The south lost, but I reckon they have the right to remember their ancestors, we're talking good men, that died in that war, by far the greatest war Americans have been involved in. I'm not advocating for the S.C. government to have any connection to the flag. But as a sybol to southernors, for many reasons other than anything to do with race, I have no problem with it.
JZ and Beyonce are trying to buy the rights to the flag, so that they can what, stop selling it ? Or perhaps to be ironic. There is such a thing as taking it too far, which some are doing. I understand the general idea, and even agree with it. But it's going too far to suggest that the flag is evil.
The sad thing is that the affect of taking it too far is to strengthen the right wing political feelings of all those that say "fuck you - you can't take my flag - you don't know what it means to me !!"
Right at the moment when they were just about ready to finally let it go.
Actually 2009 was the largest deficit of any president and that was bush's budget.
and two years after the Dems took over Congress.... Hmmmm...
The big deficits were baked in during the first 2 years Bush was president, with a very republican congress. But understanding that would involve looking at numbers which for you is of course a hopeless task. Good thing you never let facts interfere with your opinions.

Banning the sale of the flag, or re-runs of an old TV show which predominately featured it, is not what is being advocated. Companies are choosing to do this to protect themselves for fear of backlash. It will settle down. Cletus and Ned will be able to get their stars and bars to stick on the rusty bumper of their truck still.
I'm for your right to buy any distasteful symbol you like, and display it how you like, and I think the majority of America is as well. I also believe you will provoke some interesting communication your way, as is also correct and right. But we, as citizens in the US, shouldn't fly that outdated symbol from public buildings. That is a symbol associated with a culture, counter to our current, which predominantly held slavery to be a cornerstone of its being. The majority of us are way beyond those days here in the US.
I agree, the media echo chamber, and the rule by "political correctness cyber mob" is also a serious issue. Again, this is what is motivating the companies to duck and cover. (There are more people with $ that may be pissed off, than more $ that may be gained by selling = let's take some precaution here.)
I think our internet/media-mob mentality, and the divisiveness caused by new media communication, is a new dynamic we haven't fully figured out yet. It's something I hope I can teach my kids to deal with. Admittedly, I've learned a ton over the past 10 years, watching the public, our media, and the government all mix it up on the net.

Which ancestors would that be? The slaves, or the slave owners.
we're talking good men,
The good guys were the ones who wanted to free the slaves, not the ones who wanted to keep the slaves.

You obviously are.

Does this accurately summarize the argument against taking down the flag from government buildings?
1. It's been there a long time and nobody said anything before. (which isn't really true)
2. Some Democrats had the flag in the past too.
The real question is: does it make sense to fly a flag that honors the War to keep slavery in the South?

Clinton & Gore used that flag because you must kiss Confederacy-worshipping ass to get elected in the United States.
Amazingly, these same people turn it around to argue that they're persecuted.

New argument for high taxes: the communists had them, as did Hitler, and during Truman-Eisenhower-Kennedy years they were quite high.
So what's the fuss? STFU and pay pay pay!
Ha Ha Ha...
Priceless...
Tsk, tsk, tsk,....
Right-wing “intellectual†Dinesh D’Souza today tweeted out a photo that purportedly shows Hillary Clinton sitting in front of a Confederate flag. He also shared the image on his Facebook page.
UPDATE: D'Souza changed the Facebook post to read: "Even if the #ConfederateFlag was edited into this Hillary photo, WHAT is going on with those glasses and that hairdo?"
Did you ever stop to think maybe the one WITHOUT the flag is the Photoshopped one?
