    That's silly that you believe there is not a large group of white nationalists in the south that still believes in the Confederate agenda. Just look at this site, lol. You are being blinded by something, but I will tell you the rest of the world, as shown by the past week and a half views the Confederate flag like Roof views it. If you feel waving it around is something to take pride in, feel free.

    Are you denying the fact that the confederates invaded that region and established the territory of Arizona?

    prof that this quote was a lie

    "Every time I think I have seen President Obama hit bottom he exceeds my previous expectations. The recent vilification of the heritage of half the country, criminalizing the symbol of that heritage for tens of millions of Americans"


    Obama has done no such thing, asking for the flag to not fly on the capital lawn does nothing to stop anyone from using it in their private life

    Does the confederacy still exist? Nope. No one is denying racist still exist but they aren't "confederates", hell I bet you can find some in Arizona. I personally don't fly the flag but I might start if it will keep the southern hating bigots away.

    Feel free to fly it around. Wave that ignorance around proudly. And I say confederates as a symbol of what the flag represents. Obviously there is no Confederate army any more. But they are an extension of that fight that never left. Racism and bigotry is in the blood of southern conservatives. That's not an insult, it's just what it is. The war isn't over for many. The rest of us good hearted real Americans will continue seeing that traitorous flag as a direct insult to the real Americans who died protecting our freedoms. Over 300k+ white Americans were killed protecting the US from the bigotry and sickness of the south. Waving that flag is a direct insult to them and this country.

    It is fascinating that EVERY Confederate booster is entirely happy to completely ignore and discount the 300 thousands BLACK US CITIZENS in order to keep this enslavement, torture, rape, murder and theft of USA CITIZENS at the Confederate's own pleasure, profit and sadistic fun!

    You don't even consider these blacks to be human beings! Not back them and not NOW!

    Okay...since you asked nicely.

    In case you don't understand...they joined the confederacy because they wanted to.

    I'm not saying you're not an American... I'm saying you are supporting a flag that represents an army that killed 330k+ real Americans. I don't hold any hate at all, that's why I think the flag should come down because it represents exactly what Roof thought it represents. That's real hate if you ask me. Wanting a flag to come down because it represents an army that was fighting to keep people enslaved is not out of hate. It's out of respect.

    It's coming down. I don't know what else to tell you. The common sense community out there understands what that flag represents, even the leaders in South Carolina. It's time to put it in a museum where it belongs.

    Which is a good thing. Just your labels are a messed up. But not everyone is perfect.

    Nothing better than people rallying around a cause. To bad the flag has much negative feeling associated with it, outside the south.

    That does it! The downfall of the Confederate flag, the preservation of ACA federal subsidies, expansion of gay marriage rights, reaffirmed voting rights, resurrected abortion clinics, mandatory vaccinations, and now this.
    The "end of times" is definitely upon us.

    Everything white is offensive to the minorities. Next they are going to oppose the American flag as the Mexicans already do. Hell they are even offended by a persons whiteness. There is no appeasing these psychos.

    There is no such thing.

    What are the minorities not offended by?

    1st, Lincoln started an unconstitutional war.
    2nd, The battlefield is a place of honor not murder, the ignorant fail to understand that.
    3rd, You think forcing people to work to death, gassing them, and incinerating the remains in an industrial fashion is the same as a peaceful secession that was unconstitutionally invaded? (African-Americans were not worked to death, they were worked and fed)
    4th, You don't have an argument.

    I love it! The North in the war had all the advantages: they outnumbered the South over 2 to 1 in soldiers --northern population was 22 million for the North compared to 9 million for the South; north had all the factories; had the trains to transport men and weapons; North controlled the Navy. YET with all those enormous advantages, it took the North 4 years to defeat the South.

    People are known to act out of spite...

    Doesn't mean it shouldn't be taken down, just because a lot of people don't want it to.

    The Nazi's were being attacked from all fronts by the allied powers and their allies in turn. They put up a tremendous fight and in that alone, should be respected. But should we fly their flag and honor them in history because of it, despite the nature of their regime?

    I am going to ask again, but probably with the same result---silence. Were you living in blissful ignorance a month ago before Roof did what he did? Were you not aware that there was a Confederate flag? Did not knowing negatively impact your life somehow? Did you not know that Southerner Bill Clinton celebrated Confederate Memorial Day every year as governor? Did you not realize that he signed a law honoring the Confederacy with a star on the state flag? Does this change your opinion of him? Did you vote for him? Obviously doing what he did makes him a racist according to you. His wife was also a party to all of this as his wife. Does that change your opinion of her? She has a lot of explaining to do, huh?

    I never expected it either...

    Perhaps I may have spoken to soon with regards to American virtues.
