The whole "Nuh UH! the CSA had a different flag!" argument is one of the stupidest arguments people make. I mean, pointing it out just to be pedantic is one thing, but it always turns into "No, the CSA flag was a different flag and THIS was just the battle flag of a military unit fighting under the CSA to preserve slavery! You called it the wrong name so you're all wrong now! Haha!"
I mean, hell, if it WAS the actual flag of the Confederate States of America you could at least try to find something it stood for beyond "Fighting to preserve slavery". Well... "try". The CSA didn't actually accomplish anything beyond that.

The Immaculate Conception is a GREAT reason to be pedantic, not to be passed up, but a terrible reason to say that someone is de facto wrong about the divinity of Christ because they used the wrong term.

The constitution of the Confederacy is irrelevant to the question of the meaning of this particular flag though.

Speaking of mob rule, the SC legislature has voted to remove the flag from the statehouse grounds and retire it to a museum.
Damn you, democracy!

Majority rule is when you agree, mob rule is when you don't.

Your arguments are headache-inducing because of the logical inconsistencies. The flag in question is a symbol. Symbols mean things to people who view them. The people who fly it view the symbol, and a lot of people who don't fly it view the symbol. The flag means what it means to each individual that views it. Apparently a great majority of the people who view it feel it is a bad symbol. So, go hang it on the wall in the back of your garage.
It's not mob rule because they
Thank you.

Has anyone actually advocated for it to be banned?
Likewise, has anyone said "This will stop racism"?
Gbaji's arguments are, like always, full of straw dudes.

Just from gubment locations. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well, I'm sure there's some people somewhere advocating the banishment of it and all flags be replaced by rainbows, kitten whiskers and positive vibes into the cosmos. Nutters aren't unique to that small group of conservatives, afterall. Just none really here, and none I can readily think of.

It's funny how the right fights for state rights and business rights, then complain when they choose to do stuff that they don't like.
So, gbaji, enough of you making up stories about why others fly the flag.
Why do *you* fly the flag?

I doubt he'd fly it in CA.
Just as Planned.
You might be surprised by how many rednecks there are here.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Gbaji is a fine lad with no ill intent. Yet, despite all belief, he has had trouble with the police since his neonatal days.

We've got rednecks too, but they aren't "southern" rednecks.
