    Why should I accept your preference over a documented fact that it was named differently?

    Neither do state flags. Few flags do.

    Demand what you like. Raise the Confederate flag on your own porch and command people to think whatever you like. Others will calmly point out the history of each flag. Then let's see what America decides it thinks of each and the folks who fly them.

    The Confederate flag has had a 100 years to earn it's meaning. I'm guessing your demands won't change many minds at this point. But you certainly have a right to try.

    You said it represents all the sexual diversity of the world. How in the world is that a good thing? Beyond consensual sex between a man and a woman, it goes downhill quickly. Between two of the same sex is fine I guess if that's your thing. Whatever. Anything beyond that goes onto the area of extreme perversion and the downright illegal. A rainbow has many colors. Very few of those colors should be celebrated, and the more that get celebrated, the more sick this world becomes. I'm glad you agree with some of what I said. And I have no problem with same sex relationships. Beyond that, no. It should not even be tolerated, let alone celebrated. The more the line between right and wrong blurs, the more society collapses around us.

    A symbol of hate and racism to some...those that choose to see it that way. The same people tend to see racism in many places it is not.

    You say you honor it...when in fact what you are doing is dismissing it. Many "dudes" have chosen tp make the confederate flag divisive in their imaginations. The dofference between the left and the right...The left gets offended and demands that everyone agree with them.

    I said I honored his right to re-interpret it. I do dismiss the re-interpretation itself.

    No offense intended but I view that as hypocrisy. I am certain you know why and apologize if my feelings offend.

    Correct at least today it is...This helped open the door for MINOR ATTRACTED PEOPLE (pedophile is such a demeaning phrase and we know how libs like to change the meaning of words, alter terms to suit agenda's) , they can use the very same arguments and all ready are, with endorsements...and none by conservatives.


    http://allenbwest.com/2015/06/that-...gay-marriage-now-look-who-wants-equal-rights/

    From the link -

    “Gay” advocates have taken offense at such a position insisting this would never happen. However, psychiatrists are now beginning to advocate redefining pedophilia in the same way homosexuality was redefined several years ago.

    In 1973 the American Psychiatric Association declassified homosexuality from its list of mental disorders. A group of psychiatrists with B4U-Act recently held a symposium proposing a new definition of pedophilia in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders of the APA.

    B4U-Act calls pedophiles “minor-attracted people.” The organization’s website states its purpose is to, “help mental health professionals learn more about attraction to minors and to consider the effects of stereotyping, stigma and fear.”

    In 1998 The APA issued a report claiming “that the ‘negative potential’ of adult sex with children was ‘overstated’ and that ‘the vast majority of both men and women reported no negative sexual effects from childhood sexual abuse experiences.”

    Pedophilia has already been granted protected status by the Federal Government. The Matthew Shephard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act lists “sexual orientation” as a protected class; however, it does not define the term.

    Republicans attempted to add an amendment specifying that “pedophilia is not covered as an orientation;” however, the amendment was defeated by Democrats. Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fl) stated that all alternative sexual lifestyles should be protected under the law. “This bill addresses our resolve to end violence based on prejudice and to guarantee that all Americans, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability or all of these ‘philias’ and fetishes and ‘isms’ that were put forward need not live in fear because of who they are. I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this rule.”

    You failed to tell me which color represents MINOR ATTRACTED PEOPLE. Please tell me you are not judging these sexually oriented people by the Ich factor

    Well I do not understand why. Either I lack imagination, or one of us has a broader definition of hypocrisy than the other.

    If you are interested...it will cost you $12.00...That could be enough reason to continue denying it.

    Imagination???

    Hypocrisy is the act of being two faced...acting one way when you hear what you want to hear (on the bandwagon) and another when you hear what you do not want to hear (dismissal).

    How do you figure? It's still more than legal to put your confederate flag anywhere you want except government buildings. Go to any Civil War re-enactment and you'll seen hundreds of 'em.

    Go to any Gay Pride parade and you'll see hundreds of 'em. But not on government buildings.

    You made the charge. You need to be specific. Make sure that you cover your bases and that you do not ignore words that have meaning and purpose.

    You are taking that statement way too literally.

    Yes, probably
    But it does seem to me that the flag supporters are acting as though possessing or flying the flag is being criminalized. And so i wanted to make the general point that not very much is happening. It is not government over reach.... Just taking down a few flags at government sites. That is not exactly an existential attack on southern heritage and honor
