There are some people who wear the grey and carry the Stars & Bars in reenactments throughout the Country. I've also been to Revolutionary war reenactments with US, British and French flags. I would call that "HISTORY & HERITAGE".
This I would call HATE:

LOL! And some are offended when I refer to them as "REDNECKS"!

Alabama man said his rights were violated when he was fired over a Confederate flag on his pickup truck.
Phillip Sims said he does not normally drive to work at Turner Industries with the Confederate battle flag flying from his truck, but he said was running late Monday and didn’t have time to remove it, reported WHNT-TV.
Sims said a plant supervisor called him outside to discuss the flag, which he refused to remove.
“’Hey, we like your work here and we like you, but your flag — it’s going to have to go,'” Sims said the supervisor told him. “He said, ‘I hate to be the one to tell you that, but if you don’t I’m going to have to fire you.”
Sims didn’t explain why he had the flag on his flatbed pickup truck over the weekend, but he said he was glad he refused to remove it — even if it meant losing his job.
“I’m unemployed now but I still feel that I made the right decision,” he said.
Sims said his former employer had offered three times to rehire him if he would remove the flag, but he said doing so would violate his First Amendment rights.
“It’s a statement of our heritage and it’s just my right to have it, and I don’t think that I should just give it up because somebodexpression in the workplace, attorney Teri Mastando told WAAY-TV.y told me I had to,” Sims said.
He has contacted the American Civil Liberties Union in hopes that the civil rights group would take up his case, but an employment attorney said Sims doesn’t have much of a claim.
Quoted Text
Although some states require employers to protect their workers’ First Amendment rights, Alabama has no laws protecting free expression in the workplace. “In general, Alabama is an employment-at-will state, which means employers can take action based on any reason or no reason”.
Too bad this Redneck Racist didn't live in a more progressive state, (like NY) he would have been protected from being fired for his first amendment right to fly the flag. Also... too bad he didn't belong to a union who would represent him in this issue... but Dumb@ss Rednecks vote for anti union, anti worker politicians, and now have to suffer the consequences.

MYTH - The Confederate Battle Flag represents racism today.
FACT - The Confederate Battle Flag today finds itself in the center of much controversy and hoopla going on in several states. The cry to take this flag down is unjustified. It is very important to keep in mind that the Confederate Battle Flag was simply just that. A battle flag. It was never even a National flag, so how could it have flown over a slave nation or represented slavery or racism? This myth is continued by lack of education and ignorance. Those that villify the Confederate Battle Flag are very confused about history and have jumped upon a bandwagon with loose wheels.

Contempt for others is really a projection of one's own perceived defects onto other people, and then behaving toward them as if those defects were in fact, theirs. In acting out violently against others, the perpetrator hopes to deflate their victims from a perceived "better- than -you" attitude and then he/she can boast about his/her own ability to humiliate. Evil people feel better about themselves if they can eradicate the "evil" they believe to be in others.
(Based upon 30 years of experience in working with people who have "committed murder, rape and mayhem in malevolent ways," psychologist, Dr. Carl Goldberg, developed a theory to explain malevolent behavior. )

Based on reading years of box's posts, box has projected his own defects by voicing his contempt for Republicans, Southern "rednecks", Red States, conservatives, gun owners, and Christians.

Republicans, Southern "rednecks", Red States, conservatives, gun owners, and Christians. For many in this group, I pity them.

Pity? Nah...contempt better describes you posts toward those groups.

My word was "PITY". Cissy's feels that I've mistaken my own wording... so he puts his words into my post.
Sorry Cissy... You may feel contempt... but my word stands. I pity the poor b@stards.
