Confederate Flag waving asshole at whitehouse

I didn't see a confederate flag. Did I miss something?

Rochard 10-15-2013 07:14 AM

I don't get people who wave the confederate flag. Why fly the flag of something (Confederate States of America) that lasted less than four years, ended in defeat, and hasn't "risen up" in the past 150 years?

That's like saying "I am a loser and proud of it".

Yeah, you missed the part where the top end of the flag folded over causing the
red on the reverse side to cover the front diagonal blue-stars stripe and the reverse side
diagonal blue-stars stripe is now showing in front instead.

Draw an "X" on both sides of a piece of paper like it was a two sided flag, then fold the corner over in a diagonal angle with the folded edge running parallel with the cross stroke of the "X".

It's sort of an IQ test.

don't put words in my mouth. i never said anything about what dude is *saying*

nevertheless, the simple fact is the confederate flag is a big section of an official state flag and i'm wondering who the bigger goober is, the dude waving it at the wh or the op who feels the need to regurgitate a thread about something he knows nothing about, only what a handful of left wing blog writers tell him.

dyna mo 10-15-2013 07:57 AM

put it this way, goober pulls a confederate flag out of his ass and waves it around and all the sudden peeps like the op think he's the poster boy for tea party/republicans/the south/what's wrong with america/politics, etc. et al, on&on, drone............

arock10 10-15-2013 08:01 AM

Redneck idiots have been waving confederate flags and putting bumper stickers on their trucks a whole lot longer then the tea party has been around. Sure it's dumb but that's what the first amendment allows.

The fact that he's waving a confederate flag in front of the White House is bad enough, but he's also waving it in front of a BLACK man and his family, and that black man happens to be President. It's disrespectful.

Next, he's also holding a Marine Corps flag. What is the message? I certainly hope this guy isn't an ex-marine because he's an idiot. Didn't the US Marine Corps fight against the confederacy?

Regardless of this guy, the worst were actual US senators like Ted Cruz, Michelle Bachman and dipstick Sarah Palin taking part in this protest. Don't any of these people realize what the confederate flag means?

In the 2008 election, John McCain started to realize that the racist and hateful banter from crods was starting to get out of control in this speech:



I don't like McCain much but this was exactly the right thing to do. Even if you disagreed with his politics at this point, he at least showed that he was a fair player that wouldn't troll for the lowest common denominators for applause. Palin, Cruz, Bachman and the others should really learn to follow McCain on this.

Just go on a Tea Party message board. They're a bunch of racist fools, and this is what some of our elected officials have aligned themselves with. If Barack Obama was Barry Oberman, white democrat -- this Tea Party wouldn't exist as it does today. They definitely wouldn't have infiltrated Congress.

If you see any organization named something like Freedom Watch -- it actually means "Nigg*r Watch". Saying they want to take back the country is another way of saying there goes the neighborhood. They're transparent as glass.

I lived in DC, everyday someone is protesting something in front of the White House. It actually makes me feel good that no matter the cause, protesting within view of the Oval Office is a right.

Your intolerance of that right is what needs to be discussed and or criticized.

Here?s the guy who brought the Confederate flag to the White House yesterday: Michael Ashmore:

http://littlegreenfootballs.com/webl.../14/LGF152.jpg

Since he links to ?Conservative Preppers? (survivalists) and a group called ?Redneckers,? I?m guessing he probably isn?t a liberal, planted to make conservatives look bad.
Quote:

Often times, people like to falsely believe that the Confederate flag is somehow not offensive. As Jonathan Capehart of the Washington Post highlighted in his recent piece, it's akin to placing a swastika somewhere.

The Confederate flag symbolizes dehumanization, injustice and pain. It is a stark reminder of an era in our history that was defined by the abhorrent practice of slavery. And it is representative of a mentality that looked upon Blacks as inferiors who needed to remain in the shackles of subservience.
Quote:

It was Cruz who proposed shutting down the government during the summer as a strategy to defund the ACA. Then in mid September Cruz's plan B proposal was to shutdown the military. This was reported by liberal and conservative media.

Don't kid me that Ted Cruz and his ilk cared about the dead soldiers burying the dead when they didn't give a hoot about the soldiers who are alive and in harms way. And now people try to pretend that Cruz's strategy didn't put us where we are. It is a ruthless insurgent strategy, similar to the Confederacy, designed to divide and conquer by whipping people into an hysterical frenzy.
Quote:

?Veterans? ? basically Tea Partyers ? led by Palin and Cruz, marched today on the World War II memorial in Washington, DC, stole the National Park Service?s protective barriers, and then threw them at the White House.

This was intended to show their ire over the fact that the World War II memorial, along with every other federal land, site, office and program, was closed once the GOP shut down the federal government in the hopes of extorting the President into defunding health care reform, aka Obamacare, aka the Affordable Care Act.

The Tea Party ?vets,? led by Palin and Cruz, are apparently so outraged at themselves for shutting down the federal government, that they?re now protesting the President.

Point of fact: Neither Palin nor Cruz have actually served in the military, and both support the GOP government shutdown which closed the WWII memorial. But don?t let that get in the way of a good visual.

dyna mo 10-15-2013 12:41 PM

I wanted to clarify the discussion of the Confederate Flag in our recent CNN interview. Myself, the past and present members (that are from the South), are all extremely proud of our heritage and being from the South. We know what the Dixie flag represents and its heritage; the Civil War was fought over States rights.

We still utilize the Confederate (Rebel) flag on stage every night in our shows, we are and always will be a Southern American Rock band, first and foremost. We also utilize the state flag of Alabama and the American flag, ?cause at the end of the day, we are all Americans.

I only stated my opinion that the confederate flag, at times, was unfairly being used as a symbol by various hate groups, which is something that we don?t support the flag being used for. The Confederate flag means something more to us, Heritage not Hate?
In other words, the next time you see a Confederate flag at a Lynyrd Skynyrd show and you are a little offended, don?t see it as reference to slavery?see it as a reference to all the good stuff that the antebellum South was known for.

Why don't you consider that it's a sign of low intelligence to place that much pride in a symbol? To live in the pathetic past.

What if black people went around all the time with chains on because it's "heritage"?
Wouldn't that be dumb and maybe it would only be done to cause "white guilt"?

in all seriousness, my family fought in the war of northern aggression, we were thrown off our land... just share croppers from Ireland (basically indentured servants/slaves) but at least we had food, cause the blokes starved us out of Ireland

Gen. Sherman burned us out on his 'march to the sea' ... left my family with nothing.... lotta good people died in that war, on both sides... not gonna pretend it didn't happen.

in fact heard very many, many second hand stories about the war, and they were all about the same thing: being hungry as fuck and being scared as hell... not one mention of black people... :2 cents:

South Carolina seceded, and the first shots fired were by rebel forces at Ft Sumter, so how does that make the Civil War (as most people refer to it) a war of Northern Aggression (led by those damn Republicans).

Quote:

If you pre-emptively seceded before Lincoln was even inaugurated, encouraged other people to join you in open rebellion, fired the first shot, and then refused his personal offer to send representatives back to Congress to work out your disputes like sane adults, calling it a War of Northern AGGRESSION is simply "Mything the Point!"

You're an idiot and know shit about it

This was written in 2006, but it's history that the democratic party hates when people find out about it

To begin with, the Republican Party was founded by anti-slavery activists, in contrast to the pro-slavery Democratic Party. It was Abe Lincoln, a Republican President, who led the North to victory in the Civil War and freed the slaves while the Democrats did everything in their power to keep black Americans down.

Fast forward to 1898 in Wilmington, N.C., where Democrats murdered black Republicans so they could stage, ?the nation?s only recorded coup d?etat.? Then, in 1922, Democrats in the Senate filibustered a Republican attempt to make lynching a federal crime. A little later on, FDR nominated former Klansman Hugo Black to the Supreme Court. Contrast that to Republican President Dwight Eisenhower, who actually ?sent troops? to ensure that schools in Little Rock, Ark., were desegregated and ordered the ?complete desegregation of the Armed Forces.? Noticing any trends?

But, that was such a long time ago, right? Things really changed in the ?60s, didn?t they? Yes, Americans ? particularly black Americans ? really owe Democratic President Lyndon Johnson a debt of gratitude for destroying American families and causing the number of illegitimate births to skyrocket ? by pushing entitlement programs that made it much easier to have children out of wedlock.

Remember George ?segregation now, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever? Wallace standing in the door of an Alabama schoolhouse to keep black children from being able to go to school with whites? George Wallace was a Democrat. Remember Bull Connor turning water hoses and dogs on civil rights protestors? Bull Connor was a Democrat.

But, what about the revolutionary Civil Rights Act of 1964? That?s where the Democrats showed their mettle and Republicans were proven to be racists. Right? Wrong. 82% of Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 versus only 64% of Democrats. Furthermore, a few years later, it was Republican Richard Nixon who first put teeth behind affirmative action.

But, what about today? You?d think that with Democrats receiving upwards of 90% of the black vote in some cases, that there would be few, if any, prominent black Republicans while black Americans would be amongst the biggest power players in the Democratic Party. However, the opposite has often turned out to be true. Once you look past the gerrymandered districts that have to remain in place because so many liberal whites simply won?t vote for black candidates (There are only five black Democrats in the House representing majority white districts), you?ll see that the Republican Party has surpassed the Democrats in many areas.

there's more if you want to read it

You're smarter than that. So what's your agenda ???????

We know what the Dixie flag represents and its heritage; the Civil War was fought over States rights.

We still utilize the Confederate (Rebel) flag on stage every night in our shows, we are and always will be a Southern American Rock band, first and foremost. We also utilize the state flag of Alabama and the American flag, ‘cause at the end of the day, we are all Americans.

I only stated my opinion that the confederate flag, at times, was unfairly being used as a symbol by various hate groups, which is something that we don’t support the flag being used for. The Confederate flag means something more to us, Heritage not Hate…
In other words, the next time you see a Confederate flag at a Lynyrd Skynyrd show and you are a little offended, don’t see it as reference to slavery–see it as a reference to all the good stuff that the antebellum South was known for.

That all great, and true. It's a valid symbol of a heritage specific to a large part of the country, the slavery thing notwithstanding. But that flag in front of a black president's White House means a whole other thing, and you know that. Look at the intent behind it, and you'll have the correct reaction, which should be "that guy is part of the problem."
