Do you really believe the whole south was for slavery.Are do you believe the rich plantation owners were for slavery.Do you believe the whole USA was for bombing Iraq are do you believe the rich ones that could benefit from it were for it.We do as our superiors have us do.

burning a confedrate flag in protest to events that took place way before our time is a form defiling American History (good bad or ugly), in my opinion. I am from the Mid Atlantic almost southern US - I have seen and been around the CF since I was a little kid - it was painted on top of a car in a popular family TV show for years - it is just a part of Americana that everyone should learn to live with - if it has special meaning to you fine whether that special meaning is positive or negative just deal with it privately.......dont go burning a symbol of American History to prove some personal point - that kind of stuff does not make you look intellegent or make you a better person......protest some other way.

And theres this small note.
If your wanting to muzzle the tea party,
and burn the confederate flag,
Are you NOT allowing fellow americans the Right to Free Speech?
Trying to impose YOUR will on others?(As the Union did)
THATS the main point!

If you want your rights respected and protected you have to protect and respect the rights of other americans. Even if their not yours.
I didnt vote for obama, dispise the man, and not because of his color.
Didnt agree with his views or his political agenda. Him being a pseudo communist(socialist) being one of the main reasons.
Dont condone slavery either. NO man should have that power over another. Ever!
BUT if you(or anyone else) wants to go after obama for his color or the stars and bars and burn it...well, im one of those americans your going to have to go through first to get to either one of them.

Obama was elected by majority vote, the american way. Per OUR Constitution.
The right to fly the confederate flag by an american is covered under  the right to free speech. Per OUR constitution.
You attack either one your attacking MY constitution of MY United States of America. And ME.
He!!, the Dems have been after the constitution for years, trying to make changes in it. Paticularly the Second Amendment.
Wonder why that one in paticular?

If you do some reading of history and about the constitution you'lll find the second amendment was put in place to protect the rights of the people, the constitution.
Not just so you can squirrel hunt or protect yourself from burglers.
To prevent ANY govt, foreign or domestic, from turning this country into a Monarchy or Dictatorship. Holding us all in relative slavery to a few in absolute power.
Makes you wonder what the dems would like to do with this country if they could ban firearms to the public.
(And you want to go after the Tea Party who whole heartedly support the second amendment and want to protect the rights of the lower and middle class? The Little man?)

As a side note: Did you know the Clintons even had plans drawn up to use United Nations troops on U.S. soil to confiscate private firearms and enforce a ban if they could have gotten it through?
If they could of done that what else would they have changed?
Term Limits in the White House.
The constitution itself?
The individual rights of the States?
And without an armed public, a well armed militia, who could of stopped them?? Something to think about, eh?
They also supported the One World Govt as well.
No thank you. Ill keep my govt national. Dont want no brit, frenchman or belgian telling me what to do.

You either have to support the WHOLE constitution and what it protects  or none of it.
There is no i like this amendment but dont like that amendment.
Just like your right to post this nonsense. I may not like it but it IS your right to post it, per free speech.

Your right to free speech is to say anything YOU want to as long as it 'brings harm to no other'. Per OUR constitution.

And one other note: Not all those supporting the protection of the stars n bars is a 'Bubba', or 'Redneck' you Knuckleheads...lol
Redneck was originaly kind of a term of honor denoteing a hard working man that worked outside in the sun. Hence the back of his neck was red from the sun due to his stance when working outside.
In the tobacco, rice, sugarcane and cotton fields.
Untill some YANKEE started useing it as a derogitory term. Tongue Cool

The whole south was not for slavery -- but the leadership and legislatures were.  

There were Unionists throughout the South, just as there were secessionists in Northern states.  After all, it wasn't just the newly-free Blacks who greeted Abe Lincoln in Richmond:

lostartist says "the Tea Party can protest with Obama as hitler signs, I think StarLifter should be able to protest anyway he wants too"

so if San Francisco liberals burn Bush in effigy (and that was the mildest thing they did) you're cool with other liberals disgused as Tea Party members with Hilter signs. Okay, sounds like a fair trade.

Their necks were red because the white supervisors wore caps to distinguish them from the slaves, who wore woven "Panama" sun hats.

(Yes, the sun was so brutal in those fields that even Africans had to worry about sunburn!)

i saw on the history channel once that west virginia coal miners had a gunfight with Pinkerton enforcers in the hills.  the miners wore red bandanas around their necks to identify themselves, hence the term "redneck"

No one has ever objected to Christmas scenes in front of churches or private institutions.  Using public land to promote one religion violates the First Amendment.

I think the people Starlifter better watch out for are 'rednecks' by the more modern definition (intolerant, easily angered people looking to commit violence on those expressing provocative views) and not outdoor working stiffs who forgot their hat.  

Other than the intolerance part, I'd be proud to be called a redneck, for stuff like outdoor work, sunburns, driving a pickup, modifying exhaust systems, and a general resourceful sense of well, redneck-engineering  Wink

your idea that liberals are infiltrating the tea party to make them look bad by protesting with hilter signs is quite amusing, it may be true someplace but when obama has been compared to hitler in mainstream media (fox news) and I know not all the hitler signs were just from the few liberal infiltrators that you claim. but what does it matter, you are clearly on one side and could not be pulled with a host of horses towards the middle and you think all liberals are evil and should be exiled from your sight because only you can be correct on every lil aspect of life.  

the tea party is a bunch of tools, they may think they are trying to get responsible government back but they will just end up replacing one irresponsible party with the other.

Dr. Harvey; I think many would say a nativity scene on public land does not promote one religion over another. To promote, it would seem the government would need to take a more certain step such as tax breaks for Baptist which would not be available to Jewish people for example. Carried to it's natural conclusion by extreme by anti-religion activists, I would assume they could demand crosses on national cemeteries be replaced with non-descript square markers. Does a cross on a grave at a national cemetery mean the US Government is promoting Christianity over say Islam?
