Those who
attended the raising of the 15-by-15-foot flag from the Army of Northern
Virginia said the ceremony was not intended to offend, but to honor the South’s
war dead in the Civil War.
“The
reason why we’re here is to honor the soldier,” said James Thompson, 50, a
North Carolinian now living in Richmond .
“We don’t see it as a slavery issue.” (If you want to read more, go to the Washington Post).
Editor’s notes: This event is so much crap, plain and simple. Understanding that the Southern Democrat
South cost the lives of over 530,000 because of their stance on slavery,
forcing this nation into a civil war over the issue of freedom for a single
race of people. My family fought with
the North, in that war, and I have no patience for this “in your face”
nonsense. If these morons wanted to “honor
the dead” in that war, they should have
flown an American flag, not a
confederate imitation celebrating the worst pain the nation has faced since its
inception.
Is this Virginia action
protected as free speech? Of
course, but so too, is this posted
protest. In fact, I believe I am under obligation to speak out
when this type of buffoonery raises its ugly/ignorant/trash talking/un-American
head.

When I was in college, back in the early 1960's, the South was the exclusive property of the Democrat Party. But, that party "went liberal" and these raciest, moved into the GOP, sadly. They are not the only racist collective, however. The Congressional Black Caucus is equally racist and even more vocal. At least the southern bigots in this story, have no party to turn to, no one in the GOP will do their bidding -- not true when it comes to the CBC and the Socialist Progressives.
