Answer 1

I was born in California so I guess I'm a yankee, but I now live in Oklahoma. I have different beleifs from living back here now and one day on a trip to Florida, I saw flying high above the tall trees from the highway in Alabama, the biggest, most beautiful rebel flag. I was proud to be American and proud to now be from the south. So, fly your flag and hold your head high. Amen.

Answer 2

Alright dude let me lay it all down to you. As a native Georgian more southern than Lewis Grizzard let start off by saying that I understand what your problem is. First off not to insult yours or any other southerns intelligence y'all need to use a spell checker. Yankees are always saying we are all stupid and backwoods, not having a lot of spelling errors will keep some of them off our backs by showing some intellect. I fly the Confederate battle flag with honor to this day. Many of my family died in the Civil War. Yankees don't understand us and we don't understand them. That is why we call it coke and they say pop. That's the way it is and that is the way it will be for a long time to come. Ignorant people don't understand that the flag is not about racism but about heritage. They are told "oh no they hate blacks" and believe that for the rest of their pathetic lives. Hey if you really want to get people like that look at Georgias new flag everyone likes and they don't even know that the same scheme was another battle flag used in the civil war.

Answer 3

The one I like best is "You can have my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead body!" Sounds like a good deal to me! I get another weapon, & get rid of an ignorant jacka** at the same time! Of course you're not a racist! You just feel like honoring this one particular relative who might have been, above all your other relations. What about an American flag to honor those who died for this WHOLE NATION in WWI & WWII? Did any of those relatives you are so proud of come from England or France? Why not hang those flags also? If you take a really good, hard look at the REAL reason you want to display that flag, you just might learn something new about yourself that you would rather not know.

Answer 4

It's like this you can honor most of your ancestors but not those who fought in a war most of the U.S. considered wrong now it doesn't matter what your or my ancestors thought nor what you and I think it is rather this 'spoils of the victors' idea that seem to count which is we the South was wrong,and to honor even the dead is somehow wrong,yes I know it defies morality speaking of not being able to honor the dead but that is their thinking.Maybe they should venture up to Maryland there are more battle flags there than Ga. or Al.,or maybe you should try using a Bonny Blue those that wave the finger haven't a clue to it,or perhaps one of the other 4 battle flags. You see they regardless of race have a right you and I dont that is regardless of whether their ancestors were always in the right they can honor them.

Answer 5

Joining the Union was a mistake in the first place. The medal of Honor was a yankee award. Southerners were not eligible..Confederate Pesions and homes were State Funded.

Answer 6

There are ways to honor your grandfather without offending anyone. I don't own a flag because it's more important to me what the flag represents than the physical flag itself. I can carry pride in america without offending someone else because there's no hate in my opinions or pride. By paying homage to that flag you're doing your uncle an injustice because he was moe than just a flag, he was more than just a civil war, he was more than just the ideals of that time., Don't confine him to a flag, don't confine his ideals to a war that has long since been fought.

Answer 7

The evil rigidity behind the present con dem authorities and previous labour authorities are in charge for the flag time table. quite some imagine tanks pull the strings of con dem.

They take their concepts oftentimes from the frankfurt college. One technique is to flood britain with mass uncontrollable immigration to spoil the british id. yet another technique is via faculties, colleges, places of artwork to inform human beings no longer to carry up flags or it nighttime offend someone. To attack christian fairs. it really is all being achieved by making use of treasonous marxists like Cameron and Clegg and their domicile of Rothschild rulers. Immigrants have in no way ever been indignant by making use of the union jack. carry it severe and continually have a good time christian fairs. human beings were fooled by making use of the criminals. in no way vote con dem or lab ever back. really vote uk independance party.
