Now much more asinine can this get? This went from "Well, we should remove the Confederate Battle Flag from flying over state houses" to "Purge the Confederate Battle Flag from everything"
Any one can fly the Racist Rag on their own property if they want to. The stars and bars has been removed from govt buildings, not from private homes or businesses.
IMO, the presence of a Confederate flag will help to distinguish those businesses who most Americans would want to avoid.
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. John Kenneth Galbraith
“A lot of the traits that make the United States exceptional these days are undesirable, like higher violence and less social mobility. Many of these differences can be attributed largely to the South… Minus the South, the rest of the U.S. probably would be more like Canada or Australia or Britain or New Zealand—more secular, more socially liberal, more moderate in the tone of its politics and somewhat more generous in social policy. And it would not be as centralized as France or as social democratic as Sweden.”

Bucky thinks that a bigoted view is "illegal". If only it were that easy. Everyone's opinion is guaranteed by the 1st amendment... even a bigoted opinion.

On Thursday, Aaron and Melissa Klein, owners of Sweetcakes by Melissa, were ordered to pay $135,000 to a lesbian couple for refusing to bake a wedding cake. They were also essentially stripped of their First Amendment rights with a gag order that prohibits them from discussing how their Christian beliefs shapes their views on gay marriage.
“The Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries hereby orders [Aaron and Melissa Klein] to cease and desist from publishing, circulating, issuing or displaying, or causing to be published … any communication to the effect that any of the accommodations … will be refused, withheld from or denied to, or that any discrimination be made against, any person on account of their sexual orientation,” Oregon Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian wrote. In short, the Kleins were ordered to “cease and desist” from speaking publicly about not wanting to bake cakes for gay weddings based on their Christian beliefs.

Yea it is exactly what the founding fathers had in mind when they wrote: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed
Did they knowing break civil rights laws? If so they should be prosecuted for their 'crimes' just like anyone else who breaks our laws.

The collector who owns the real General Lee, pro golfer Bubba Watson, has said he will remove the confederate flag from its roof, but that's not because anyone made him do it. And because it's his property, he has the right to do whatever he wants with it. Likewise, TV Land's decision is their right to make, and it has nothing to do with censorship but everything to do with demonstrating sensitivity to an event.

I always find it ironic that left winger tolerance includes stereotyping and slandering an entire race, region and culture of America. Redneck is certainly a historical derogatory word targeted at a specific racial and socioeconomic class of people, yet lefties like box are perfectly free to be bigoted when attacking them.

Freedom of speech Cicero... Freedom of speech. I practice it daily, so do these Confederate Flag waving Inbred, Rednecks. Our opinion is still part of my and their first amendment rights.
Sorry you disagree. So much for Cicero and the 1st amendment.

Don't misunderstand me...I totally support your freedom of speech. I was just pointing out the irony of left wing hate speech.

hey....can Americans still call the vietnamese GOOKS?
When the INSANE are running the ASYLUM In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule. -- Friedrich Nietzsche
“How fortunate for those in power that people never think.” Adolph Hitler
hey....can Americans still call the vietnamese GOOKS?
No...That was only acceptable 40 years ago when the federal government was dehumanizing the Vietnames so the public conscience would accept killing millions of them. The new enemy of the federal government is the southern states of America. So calling a southerner a redneck inbred is perfectly ok. If the feds have to kill some of them to get them back in lockstep with the federal government, it's ok, they are only inbred rednecks.
Don't misunderstand me...I totally support your freedom of speech. I was just pointing out the irony of left wing hate speech.
Imbred? (A fact) Redneck? (a self description) Racist? (just ask em) So what part is the 'hate speech"?

hey....can Americans still call the vietnamese GOOKS?
Like the Confederate battle flag, the meaning of GOOK has changed over time. The original term "GOOK" as used by US troops in Korea referred to the Korean pronunciation of their own country, Hangook.
There are many views on the words origin but this one seems to be the most likely: A term used to describe Koreans. Gook is still a controversial slur. Some Koreans may take it as a joke but some may take as a serious racial slur.
Quoted Text
The history behind it is that during the Korean war, an American approached a Korean. The Korean did not understand the American, instead he pointed at him and called out "Mi Gook" which means "America" in Korean. The American then mistakened the Korean and thought the Korean was refering to himself as a "gook." After the Korean War, American started to refer to Koreans as Gooks for short term thinking it was a short name for Korean.
