$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('flapjax', 'O')K, I know that not everyone from the south was a slave owner and I know the civil war was not just about slavery. But for so many, the flag represents just that. But thats fine with you eh, stonemason? If it represents your hue, you might as well get a few hu?
Then they are the ones who are idiots.
As for you comparing my great great grandfather to a Nazis. You sir can kiss my REBEL ASS!!

Spoken like a true patriot.
When I spoke of flying a swastika in today's Germany it was to DomusAlbion's speaking point. Nowhere did I state that the old confederate south resembled Nazi Germany.
The willingness to go against the "ignorant grain" so to speak, in order to prove this particular richeous midset boggles my mind. You are an interesting creature. Besides, no one can remove the slavery issue from the Civil War. Try as you might, Nefariuos the confederate flag will always have that stain.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('eastbay', 'T')he attempted extinction of southern heritage is only one small part of a broader liberal strategy to kill humanities amazing and wonderful diversity through their forced multiculturalism. Usually at gunpoint. Sometimes by court order.
+1
Brazil for instance had millions of more slaves than the US ever did, and slavery continued in Brazil for several decades after it was outlawed in the US. Yet today, if you travel to Brazil you will find them remarkably not hung up on racial issues.
However, I have heard several Brazilians complain of American style "multiculturalism" seeping in to Brazil. A trend that if it continues will turn the country in to a racial basket case like the US.
But how the world turns. One day, cock of the walk. Next, a feather duster.

Sorry... damn photobucket. Catch this:

Some historians like to dice how the Civil War was about states rights and not slavery, but would the South have been as worried about state's rights if state's rights weren't seen as a defence against slavery being outlawed at the Federal level, or seceeded from the US had Lincoln not been elected. (I'd note that Lincoln's first Vice President was Hannibal Hamlin, an ardent abolitionist).
No not every Southerner owned slaves, but like every good society, the rich who want to go to war because they are worried about their way of life being compromised are always able to find dupes willing to fight for them. You see that now, in the Red southern states where poor and lower middle class ardently support the Republicans and their family "values" (C-street, restroom foot tapping and flying to Brazil notwithstanding) and the idea of less taxes, when in reality the blue states pay more in taxes than the red states who are net recipients of taxes.
I'm not sure how helping the rich helps the poor now, anymore than it did for the poor Southerners who fought for the Confederacy essentially to preserve slavery which was an institution that would tend to depress wages for poor Southern whites.
I say let the South have their heritage license plates. To the NASCAR set the flag represents their southern heritage, to blacks it represents slavery. People are too easily offended at stuff,
To me, it represents how easily people are duped into something that is not in their best interests, and I'd get a good laugh out of it all.
An ideology is by definition not a search for TRUTH-but a search for PROOF that its point of view is right
Equals barter and negotiate-people with power just take
You cant defend freedom by eliminating it-unknown
Our elected reps should wear sponsor patches on their suits so we know who they represent-like Nascar-Roy
