George Wallace is probably rolling around in his burial place... :D

The citizens of the great state of Alabama can now sleep good at night knowing that will never suffer mass shooting tragedy based on race.

Not saying some good ole boys might not strike a mall or two, though.

Style over substance....the hallmark of weak minds and liberals, or is that repeating myself?

Wal Mart is celebrating this great decision with a two for one sale on high powered rifles good through the Fourth of July weekend.

What substantive good does flying a symbol of defeat over a building do? If ever there was a case of style over substance, look no further than this practice. RIP, Stars and Bars.

I'm still holding out hope a few states secede again and create their own hard currency so I don't have to leave the country (at least geographically) when the poop hits the fan and the dollar collapses, government spending on the welfare state gets gutted, violence breaks out, and all hell breaks loose.

I feel like I'm in a race. Which is going to come first?

1.The economic collapse.

2. Me learning how to handicap turf sprints and heading to Australia.

3. Me dying (preferably of old age).

I'm sort of worried about that whole turf sprint thing. I may die of old age before I figure that out.

Where were these altruists 1-2-3-4-5 years ago regarding the confederate flag and its' prevalence in some southern states flags, mottoes, etc....?

Political positioning at its best. Politicians are the lowest of the low, the slime of the earth and that goes for all sides.

Remember, flags don't kill people, people kill people !!!

To you, it may stand for defeat, but not for others.
But the bottom line is taking it down does NOTHING for problem everyone is ignoring.

Let's see if the liberals will address this little issue: http://www.wnd.com/2015/06/finish-th...slave-masters/

It does give the libs a warm and fuzzy feeling of accomplishment, which is all they care about. The Narrative trumps reality, and they can move on to new problems to "solve".

While the entire country was fighting over ****ing flag, the Repub Congress gave OBAMA Carte Blanche on trade.

Now you know why this was the big issue of the week

Curtis gets it right :ThmbUp:

JustRalph 06-24-2015 11:28 PM

I just ordered a confederate flag cake from an online bakery in San Francisco

I'm eagerly awaiting my confirmation email :ThmbUp:

I don't mind people that smoke ciggies, etc... Just don't exhale so I have to smoke it too.

If you have to own a confederate flag, just keep it inside where I don't have to look at it. And it's not so much me personally, but you know it creates trouble for others, which is an endless cycle.

If you are offended by it, that is YOUR problem.
Free speech is not throttled by your opinion.
