A business deciding not to fly a flag co-opted by the KKK is freedom. A business asking the public to voluntarily not bring that flag to its events is freedom. If they go the next step and remove people flying that flag from their events, that is also freedom. Freedom means you can be an idiot, but it also means I don't have to cater to your idiocy. If someone walks into my office wearing nazi memorabilia, I will ask them to leave. If they refuse to leave, I'll call the police and charge them with trespassing. A business has a right to refuse service for anything not related to a protected class. "People flying the flag of a defeated rebellion" isn't a protected class. Freedom cuts both ways and business owners have their freedom as well. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Freedom only works when it works both ways. business caving to political pressure isnt freedom. |

About everyone I know has decided to boycott NASCAR. Let's see how long it takes them to change their tune when it costs them money. This right here! The fans arent where NASCAR gets the vast majority of their money. I'm sure that's how they see it as well. unfortunately, like the thread about cops being paid by construction companies to monitor traffic, something is missing in the picture as it relates to where the money comes from. |

Quoted:
Its the symbolism that’s offensive to us, not the actual flag. Most people never gave the flag a second thought until now. You have to pick your battles wisely and they are choosing every single battle possible. I would normally say its just a flag and not worth the time to worry about it but they have decided to push an issue that really has no relevance to anything other than simple whining, and they are winning. View Quote We, the mature adults of the USofA, have taken that position for a number of years. Look where it has gotten us. We need to push back on EVERY issue the socialists push, EVERY time they push. They have held the public square for too long. The socialists and the socialist media need to be mocked at every turn when they try to make an issue of some non-issue. Their ignorance needs to be proclaimed loudly, and in detail. "The lie oft repeated becomes the truth". It is well past time to stop letting the socialists have their way with the battle for the minds of America. ETA And as far as I'm concerned you can go cry in the corner if the symbolism offends you that much. This nation was discovered by men, founded by men, fought for by men, had a civil war conducted by men, had 2 world wars one by men, and put men on the moon. You want to accomplish something, be a man and get over your sniveling. |

Thanks; I wasn't aware that the badge of The USS Shiloh CG 67 also includes the Confederate Battle Flag in a place of honor. Apparently; the Confederate Battle flag still has a valid and non racist, place in the common culture; other than as a symbol of oppression and hate. https://scontent-mia1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/t1.0-9/10177301_684926891563766_3315782096091566098_n.jpg?oh=0344422e142d846ee65e1e7ceb179902&oe=56196789 View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I support people being honest about history.

If Sports Illustrated, NASCAR, damn near every major corporation, significant figures in all political parties, historians, etc. all say something... then maybe, just maybe, it;s not because they're all 'leftists."

View Quote Yeah, because banning flags from Confederate battle grounds, exhuming corpses of Confederates, and tearing down memorials is clearly a rational point. |

Well for starters; if The United States Navy can name one of its capital ships in commemoration of a Confederate military victory, and the official ship's poster includes images of Confederate Generals as well as an image of the very same Confederate Battle Flag that is allegedly the source of you and your fellow travelers' butthurt........................then love it, hate it, or remain indifferent to it; that Confederate battle flag still has a valid place in the common culture and your ridiculously clumsy, ham fisted, attempts to erase it from history are absurd. All of the current blitz of leftist and media driven "Flag of Hate" bullshit notwithstanding. You can't help but keep fighting this straw man? Have you read a single word I've typed? I mean, actually read - not raged at while glossing over? Another excellent example of classic internet trolling, but when everyone realizes that one is a troll; it's game over. Sorry; you had a great run here on GD but you have destroyed your own "brand". |

YOU have assigned that flag as being 100% about slavery. You have dismissed anyone claiming to fly it for states-rights, an over-reaching federal gov or a generic, "fuck you" as being disingenuous. You, Sir, are in the wrong and are projecting. I'm wondering, since you obviously find that symbol so abhorrent, do you have an established record & the balls to pull one down? Or do you just play the SJW on the 'net? I did no such thing. I have esxplained myself numerous times today in the face of such accusations. Your dishonesty says everything about you character, as does your tough-guy speak. Nobody flies those things around here. Instead I have to deal with this shit. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/69/Saint_George_Ribbon.svg/2000px-Saint_George_Ribbon.svg.png Quoted:
People constantly point to the flag and claim it had nothing to so with slavery, that the Confederacy was fighting over states rights and tariffs, and if the South had won we'd all be more free. But yet, YOU know why they might choose to fly it. Your (dishonest) SJW armor is nothing but a thin veneer hidden behind a keyboard and obviously, the only thing saving someone from a flag snatch and/or a subsequent ass-whoopin' is, "nobody flies those things around here." What a disingenuous cop-out. The "tough-guy speak" was assigned to you & you projected it back on me. That's fucking amazing. http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lab1kgWDj01qdigseo1_400.png Your selfies crack me up. I'll consider you nailed to the fucking wall. |

No, it is the ultra-left using social engineering and political correctness to label anyone as a racist bigot if they support the Stars and Bars. You know goddamn well that is the truth, and you would have to be as blind as Anne Frank to not see it has not a fucking thing with the CBF. Its all about social control, and stirring the racial pot again. You can't be so oblivious to see that its OK to fly a Soviet flag, but its RACIST!!11!!OMGWTFBQQ to fly a fucking battle flag. |

Make it stop already; this shit reads like something straight out of 1984. http://www.si.com/racing/2015/07/03/nascar-confederate-flag-ban-daytona-international-speedway-south-carolina-shooting?xid=si_topstories "NASCAR has been immensely tolerant of a group of fans that, by their decision to fly a standard of white supremacy, would appear to be anything but. However, if indeed the sport were serious about disassociating itself from such displays, it would stop with the niceties and ban the flag outright. Quite simply, a ban is a silver bullet, one that would delineate fans of racing from fans of racism. " "The optics remain ever grim this weekend, as NASCAR returns to Daytona, Fla., where the confederate flags fly at full mast and incite feelings of fear and dread. " It's time to push back, and push back hard. View Quote Coming from one who, when it comes to the Civil War, has a very strong "yankee" sentiment, I too am sick of this flag bullshit. In other times I'd argue that it shouldn't be displayed on pubic property, but this really aint about the flag its about attacking history and institutions. |

Its the symbolism that’s offensive to us, not the actual flag. Most people never gave the flag a second thought until now. You have to pick your battles wisely and they are choosing every single battle possible. I would normally say its just a flag and not worth the time to worry about it but they have decided to push an issue that really has no relevance to anything other than simple whining, and they are winning. Yup; it's not about the flag. It's really about..."we don't like something so after we make that known; it has to go". The possibilities are limitless.
