Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Battle flag uproar

Pardon my too general reference and cutesy quote marks that I did not think about long enough before posting. Inevitably they mislead by indicating that you said it. My error and I apologize. I will go delete that now.

My poorly worded intent was that the Washington DC government won over what they considered a rebellion.

I bet you kids are thinking about the "Declaration of Independence"! Am I right?

Anti-American doesn't sound so good, to me at least.

Mississippi has the 'Stars and Bars' as part of the state flag.
Several years ago, when all the ruckus was being raised over the Confederate flag, Mississippi put it before the voters in a state wide election. Keep the 'Stars and Bars' or get rid of it on the state flag. Keeping the 'Stars and Bars' passed by over 80%. Thus it will take another statewide election to change the law and get rid of the current flag.

The voters have spoken...So whats the problem?

No problem. Just trying to take the heat off SC!!

BUT I bet MS is next on the azzzwipes takedown list.

Not hard enough. Don't mistake what I am saying. They should have been able to immigrate like other people did, but they were ill prepared for being freed. Similar problem with lots of the Indians. They were just not ready to be jerked out of the stone age. miles

Yeah, your right!

You may be right, but I hope not!

You are correct that it no longer flies on top of the State Capitol building, which I did not realize, but it flies on a permanent flagpole on State ground near the Capitol building. Nit pick placement details if you want but that is PUBLIC.

Once we correct all of my errors of detail, the truth remains that this is a losing battle over the wrong topic.

If they get their way and outlaw the Confederate flag, then do we also have to outlaw the American flag to satisfy them further ?? (since slavery here in the US originated under the American flag)

I have family who fought and died for both sides in the Civil War and I am equally proud of them all.

In the bitter end, there is a certain faction in this country that will never be happy, no matter what we change or flag we fly.

I bet they attack the Christian flag next! And then of course all state flags that have any remnants of our past like the Palmetto Flag.

Would that war have been fought if slavery hadn't existed in the South...?

Yes the GD ni@@ers should have been left in Africa

I'm going with that too. All our lives it was crammed down our throats the war wasn't about slavery, it was about secession.
The south wanted to secede in order to keep their slaves, and their economy intact.

OMG I almost forgot..... I went to Wade Hampton High School. Home of the fighting Generals and named after General Wade Hampton himself.

Let's hurry up and change that name as well.

I went to high school in Columbus Ga. back in the day. At any game, rally, assembly , etc. The star Spangled Banner was played, and Dixie was played, and you by God stood up for them both.

They of course had to stop the playing of dixie, and the star Spangled Banner will be next.

Yup....that and an initiative to actually replace the Stars and Stripes is underway.

We'll most likely wind up with some rap song and a rainbow flag as national symbols.

If I remember correct one of the "deals" Lincon made with some of the blabk "leaders" at the time was the backs would leave the US and start and new life on some island or south away from this country , but [bleep] never left

Don't know if it was part of that deal or what, but a number were returned to the west coast of africa to what is now Liberia...where they promptly enslaved the local populace when they landed. True story.
