bleeding heart Posted December 2, 2013 Report Posted December 2, 2013 Playing the part of the "ridicule-attack troll" has its consequences, as everyone should know by now. Anyone who's gonna dish it out...should grow some body armour and man up. Quote “There is a limit to how much we can constantly say no to the political masters in Washington.

bush_cheney2004 Posted December 2, 2013 Report Posted December 2, 2013 ... Somebody beat a hasty retreat. Nothing more to add about the Confederate flag ? Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
Wilber Posted December 2, 2013 Report Posted December 2, 2013 It doesn't surprise me that a submariner would identify somewhat with the Kriegsmarine. They were very brave men fighting for their country in a service that had the highest mortality rate of any in WWII. Their mode of fighting was little different from Bomber Command which had a fatality rate that wasn't much lower. It's unfortunate the bravery of those submariners was wasted on behalf of such a loathsome regime and its loathsome objectives. Quote "Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice". WSC

bush_cheney2004 Posted December 2, 2013 Report Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) The Allies' "racist" symbols of WW2 are far more "offensive" than the Confederate battle flag and what it stood for. It seems that the revisionists refuse to accept that reality. Edited December 2, 2013 by bush_cheney2004 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
jacee Posted December 2, 2013 Report Posted December 2, 2013 It's not necessarily racist or bigoted to fly it... It is if one believes in what the underlying issues around the "States Rights" arguement and not the cotton/economic issue... I think that may be valid in the US.However, it's harder to make that argument for Canadian 'good ole boys' flying the confederate flag, especially since they tend to show up at Aboriginal protests: There's definitely a racist intent in that.

jacee Posted December 2, 2013 Report Posted December 2, 2013 Native Americans fought on both the Union and Rebel side of the US Civil War.Question is why do some drunken yahoo Canadian 'good ole boys' show up at Aboriginal protests flying the rebel flag and using racial slurs?

bush_cheney2004 Posted December 2, 2013 Report Posted December 2, 2013 Maybe they'll post more pix of John Clem. Or at least try to remember what the U.S. Army did to the so called "Plains Indians".....with flag flying. "F Troop" really wasn't a comedy for them. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

DogOnPorch Posted December 2, 2013 Report Posted December 2, 2013 Here's an example of a Confederate Rebel Flag, jacee. Offended? Or at least try to remember what the U.S. Army did to the so called "Plains Indians".....with flag flying. "F Troop" really wasn't a comedy for them. Yes, indeed.

It seems that the revisionists refuse to accept that reality. Only revisionists here at those trying to divorce the rebel battle flag from its (much deserved) historical association with slavery. As for the unnamed racist symbols of WW2: what's that got to do with anything? Please stay on topic. Quote
