Yeeeeee haawwwwwww http://politics.blog.ajc.com/2015/06/30/stone-mountains-confederate-flags-will-still-fly/“Stone Mountain is preserved by state law as a Confederate memorial. The law that changed the flag to our current state flag also expressly prohibited changes at Stone Mountain Park. Some on both sides of these issues have said that these Confederate symbols belong in a museum. Here in Georgia, Stone Mountain Park serves that purpose.” State law has a very clear mandate for Stone Mountain’s state-owned memorial. “The Stone Mountain Memorial Association shall continue the practice of stocking, restocking, and sales of Confederate memorabilia.” Another section says that the site should be “preserved and protected for all time as a tribute to the bravery and heroism of the citizens of this state who suffered and died in their cause.”Under Georgia Law, no one is allowed to touch the Confederate figures that are carved into the side of Stone Mountain.

Stone Mountain is really a subterranean middle finger with only the very tip exposed above the surface.

They will list the Sons of Confederate Veterans as a terrorist organization next.
Those flags should be flying at Stone Mountain good to hear they are digging in.

all we have to do, is say NO. Sooner or later, we have to stop apologizing, wringing our hands, and crying mea culpa. Screw 'em.

Anyone think the KKK membership is going to rise in numbers? I am betting they're seeing an increase in membership.

What do they have to do with a Confederate memorial, or the flag issue? Like the Black Panthers, the KKK is an organization of rendered hatred. That flag doesn't represent them, or they it, in the least.

America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

Yep about time to tell the jerks to GFY. all we have to do, is say NO. Sooner or later, we have to stop apologizing, wringing our hands, and crying mea culpa. Screw 'em.
There are no problems that cannot be resolved by the suitable application of high explosive.
