Anti govt haters would have you believe this is true, but of course we all know it's false.
That is correct. Sorry, but I had to point out the grammar mistake and use of a double negative. "Anti govt haters" = hate anti government. So you are correct, people who hate "anti govt" love govt flags.
CHARLESTON, S.C., July 6 (Reuters) - South Carolina lawmakers took a major step on Monday toward passing legislation to remove the Confederate battle flag that flies at the state capitol in Columbia and has long been denounced by critics as a symbol of slavery. The bill passed a crucial second reading by a 37-3 vote in the state Senate where it faces one more vote on Tuesday before the bill is taken up by the lower House of Representatives.

Man Apologizes To Everyone He’s Offended By Flying The Confederate Flag
Josh Clark grew up near Nashville, Tennessee. He’s a Southern boy who likes to “hunt, fish, camp and do pretty much anything outdoors.” He used to love the Confederate flag. Used to.
Clark said he was never a racist. Like a lot of people, he thought the flag stood for “heritage not hate” and “pride not prejudice.” He said he was raised around people of all races and was never racist, but it wasn’t until he went to college that he realized that by wearing or hanging the Confederate flag he was hurting people. and now he’s very sorry and wants to let everyone who stands by the flag what it stands for. From his Facebook Page:

To those I may have offended in the past, who never confronted me, I apologize. I was WRONG. As our country continues to move forward on equality issues, I believe the only place for the Confederate flag is in our history books.

If the militant racist wing of the black panthers used the term "Honky" as their banner and they had lynched 3500 White People... you might understand.
Or not.

Oh...Or if Arabs that identified with the Muslim religion flew planes into a building killing 3000 people and used the term "infidel", then you agree the "ground zero mosque" and the Muslim flag star and moon is forever a symbol of hatred and intolerance?

No answer? You deem the Muslim symbol ok, even if Christians heads are being cut off under the symbol? How do you go about determining which symbols are offensive and which are not. As a collectivist, you must have a certain formula for offensive symbol identification.

So does Cissy consider all terrorists Muslims??? He didn't say yet he associates "Terrorists" with "Muslims" and their flag.
I look at the Muslim religion just like I do most religions. Some good people some bad people, and most somewhere in between. I look at Christian Religions just like I do most religions. Some good people some bad people, and most somewhere in between.
Just as SOME Muslims are terrorists... SOME Christians are KKK terrorists. Their religion isn't a prerequisite for terrorism.
I wonder if Cissytroll is still waving that Muslim flag looking for an angry response?

When General Robert E Lee was asked by a woman on what she should do with a Confederate flag after the end of the American Civil War, he said quite simply:
"Fold it up and put it away."

A mayor of a small town in Alabama is outraged after someone noticed that the Christian flag flapping in the wind right next to the American one at City Hall is blatantly unconstitutional.
Glencoe Mayor Charles Gilchrist is now crying Christian persecution because the tyrannical way residents are making him abide by the U.S. Constitutional requirement of separation of church and state. No fair!
But Gilchrist is in a bind. His Christian conscience won’t allow him to take down the flag without a fight, but this whole breaking the law thing will be massively expensive. As conservative Christians are learning across the country, their attempts to shoehorn religion into public life is so obviously against the law that in almost every case a lawsuit is brought against them they lose. In a similar case to that of Glencoe, a town was forced to pay over $500,000 after a court ruled that they couldn’t promote Christianity on state property. Gilchrist has begun to freak out.

Iowa Republicans Resign After Flying Confederate Flag During Independence Day Parade
Quoted Text
The Confederate flag is a symbol of hate, and it is no longer acceptable to fly. A couple of Republicans in Iowa are now dealing with the consequences of flying the traitor flag. Two members of the Marion County Republican Committee resigned after they decided to fly three Confederate flags on a float during an Independence Day parade, just three weeks after nine black people were murdered in an act of racialized violence in South Carolina.
The Des Moines Register Reports:
“Three Confederate flags flew from a truck pulling a Marion County Republicans’ parade float in Independence Day parades in Pleasantville and Pella on Saturday, leading to harsh criticism from the party’s state chairman and resignation of two Marion County central committee members who owned the truck.” Local people were upset that the flags were deemed appropriate to be flown in the parade. Members of the party agreed that the statement Golay was trying to make had nothing to do with honoring confederate ancestors.
Jeff Kaufmann, chairperson of the Republican Party of Iowa, told The Des Moines Register:
“He was making a political statement, a statement that was in opposition to what the GOP and the party of Lincoln stands for. That, to me, doesn’t pass muster.”
The confederate flag is not just a symbol of hate; it is a symbol of the worst part of the United States’ history. Who in their right mind would honor the veterans of the Confederacy?

No, I asked if the Muslim symbols on flags represent terrorism and hate based on terrorist acts carried out under those symbol. You seem to believe the confederate flag can ONLY represent racism and hate, and everybody that fly's it is a racist, inbred, redneck. I just want to understand when you are allowed to paint tens of millions of people with broad brushes of based on actions carried out by a few under those symbols. One 21 year old shoots up a church and is pictured on his Facebook page in front of a Confederate Flag, now everybody with a flag suddenly share in his beliefs. I just wonder how you differentiate between symbols when horrific acts carried out under that symbol, and determine it is a reflection of everybody that fly's that symbol.
