Let's Start Burning The Confedrate Flag!

[stopbush]

It would really piss off the right people...and they'd be hard pressed to do their
Constitutional Amendment dance on that one. :)

On edit: yep, I left out an "e" in Confederate. What do you expect from a member
of the Democrat Party?

[skiddlybop]

1. Tee Hee!

I'm doing it tomorrow!!!

[uppityperson]

2. such a simple solution.

:rofl:

[napi21]

3. You can probably do that anywhere except Georgia!

I've never lived in a place where so many people are still madly in love with their Confederate flag! There's a lot of nuts around here!

[rpannier]

5. Louisianans are pretty rabid stars and bars lovers

as are Mississippians

[Swamp Rat]

9. Not THIS Louisianan!

I'll burn one as soon as I find one. :)

[Selatius]

19. Yeah, I wanted the state to go back to the Magnolia blossom, but noooooo

They just had to reaffirm the flag the KKK flies around in the referendum on the issue. My suggestion is that if people wanted a flag that represented all of Mississippi, then the majority should not adopt a symbol seen as divisive to the minority Black community here in the state, but it fell on deaf ears.

[Gabi Hayes]

4. what a GREAT idea! can't believe I haven't heard it before!

or....how bout an American flag with a SWASTIKA replacing the stars and field?

I've seen em, but can't find any on google images, or just googling

anybody have one?

I'll try to make one on powerpoint, or something

[Jara sang]

21. Better idea, Just get a 52 star flag and burn it.

It's not the American flag. Video tape yourself burning it on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. When they arrest you, sue the fuck out of them for false arrest. A 52 star flag is not an American flag.

[Gabi Hayes]

6. get this to the greatest page

do your duty for flag and country

RAUST mitten sie!

[eleny]

7. Oh you smarty pants Dem!

How I wish I thought of that. :hi:

edit: At least I had the pleasure of kicking this to the Greatest page. 5th Recommend, yay!

[stevedeshazer]

8. Where do ya buy a Confederate flag to burn, anyway?

Didn't that get outsourced to China or Viet Nam?

Or do the Confederates still have that 'affirmative action' cotton thing going on? Did the WTO just pass them by in favor of suckass Northern liberals?

I'm fixing to find me a Chinese-made Confederate flag to burn.

Ya Buddy

[Swamp Rat]

11. Wal-Fart or an Army surplus store. n/t

[stopbush]

13. Buy yours here:

[stevedeshazer]

15. LOL!

But I ain't spending 33 bucks on a Stars and Bars just to burn it.

Not when I can can burn THESE at $1.75 apiece!



thanks for the link.

[AndyTiedye]

10. k/r

:kick:

[godhatesrepublicans]

12. We just need a Blue State, pro-labor US manufacturer of the Stars n Bars.

[Gabi Hayes]

14. how about something like this?

[Canuckistanian]

16. Great sig line!

And, BTW, isn't the ConfedRAT flag the symbol of traitors? They did openly revolt against the democratically elected government, against the wishes of the COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF?

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

17. Just don't jeer at the Confederate flag in South Carolina

18. We burned several flags at our party on March 17th

I'll let you guess what colors they were.

[ShortnFiery]

22. I'm with you on that ...

we should also remind the racist whites who are the ones who seemingly covet the "Stars and Bars" the following: Displaying the Confederate flag is TREASONOUS to OUR United States of America. :patriot:

Despite what some think, The South LOST the Civil War ... it's not a PATRIOTIC act to carry the LOSER (Enemy) FLAG ... well second to the Treason Argument above.

I can almost hear the Freeper heads explode as they read this. :woohoo: :applause: :thumbsup:

[ellisonz]

24. A live still image...

I'm not even sure burning the Americcan flag does justice for the sins of Abu Ghraib. Maybe we should burn the new Iraqi governments flag, and the French flag for good measure!

:woohoo: :applause: :patriot:

:popcorn:

[maine_raptor]

28. SnF, you are sooooo right

The CONFEDERATES separated from the Union of the United States of America.

In historical reality there is no more fitting symbol of Un-Americanism than the CONFEDERATE flag.

Be a true read, white and blue American Patriot: CONFEDERATE Flags? Burn'em All, I say!


(Note to Readers, the fact that I am an admirer of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, Colonel, 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry play very little part in the post.........not.)

[wanpete]

23. here here! in the south, folks still fly that flag on their homes and h

have it on the front of their cars to send a very clear signal. I am totally offended by it!

[nosmokes]

25. man, they'll shoot ya for that where i was brought up in alabama, no

foolin. it might be birdshot, but still... me and some pals got shot at trying steal the KKK sign outside of the cliubhouse late one night. that memory still stings.}(

[OregonBlue]

26. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!

[Lochloosa]

27. If I did that where I live....this is what my front yard would look like..

But, I like the idea!

[tinfoil tiaras]

30. You'd get like murdered in Mississippi if you did that

but good idea! The confederacy WAS an enemy of the united states. Plus, they hated America....lol

[KyuzoGator]

31. We should be burning Confederate and Nazi flags at protests.

Holy shit, that's such a great idea.

[Joey Liberal]

32. I love that idea!
