A direct quote from their "about us" page:
"We believe in the natural rights of all people and their right to determine their own
destiny without arbitrary boundries set in place by a political ruling class with the
sole purpose of keeping themselves in power and us SLAVES."




The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

Nope!  That's a Right Wing redneck flag.  Some of the rednecks  even printed up Clinton Gore
Racist Rag campaign buttons.  The Clinton/Gore campaign never did.

I'm sorry that you can't recognize what most Americans already know.
The Confederate Rag is, and always has been about racism and slavery.


My entire life, I have always considered the Confederate flag to represent the rebel attitude.

Never once in my life did I ever feel it was anything other than that.

I never considered it to stand for racism or slavery.

So you don't believe the "rebel attitude" includes a racial undertone, with
mentality directed at races and "Yankees"??? Then you are naïve.

Sure it's about missing troops to war lovers.

To those who were against the Vietnam  war it's just another reminder of our invasion of their country.

The US flag worldwide now stands for imperialist aggression, intolerance, death and violence.

Except to those infected with the mental disorder known as patriotism.

One Country, One Flag


Who's the idiot that started the slogan "these colors don't run."

They ran as fast as they could from southeast Asia.

Patriotism causes hysterical blindness and the inability to comprehend anything that diverges from the official government version of reality.

US flags are considered racist by the middle east.

The US flag was paraded around southeast Asia while the soldiers referred to the Asians as Gooks.

The US flag was paraded around the Middle East while the soldiers referred to the inhabitants as Sandniggers, Sandmonkeys, Towel heads and Camel jockeys.

No, I absolutely do not consider Yankee or Southerner to be racist terms.

Yankees are pro government control.

Southerners are angry resentful rebels who were forced into submission and forced to stay in the United States.

Iraqis consider US troops to be Yankees too.

I do not support the initiation of the use of force.

If you took a plane to Memphis tomorrow. When you get off that plane YOU ARE A YANKEE.  as soon as you start talking.
If you and your wife move down there and have a baby- It will be a Yankee baby.

The magazine racks in every cvs or Piggly Wiggly supermarket  are full of civil war stuff. People  go to battle fields and walk around like catholics doing the stations of the cross.
Battlefield heroes ar worshiped like saints. Some people have  robert e lee shines i n their back yard for crying out loud.

I had never heard of Jefferson Davis. . Did you learn about him in school ?

there is another country/culture in the south.  Good food - good music tho

Most states down there all celebrate CONFEDERATE memorial day

What is wrong with any of this?  If it is its own country that shares the same culture, why are the federal statists so anxious to destroy a culture?  Slavery isn't even a viable economic institution, it's not like slavery would ever return.

If the confederate states reconstituted today and agreed to peacefully secede from the federal government, the federal government would bomb them into submission today just like 150 years ago.   The rebel battle flag has nothing to do with racism, it has all to do with not having allegiance to the Federal Government.  The Confederate Battle Flag is a symbol of rebellion against the Federal Government, not racism.
