My super liberal neighbors fly a giant american flag every day.

We are very liberal. My husband is retired Air Force. We have an enormous flag out front. The GOP does not have a monopoly on patriotism!

Are you a racist insurrectionist, as claimed by PP?

Yep. We have nuts who speak of "spitting" on veterans because of their political stance. And, other nuts who "+1000000" the sentiment.
Disgusting. And, you wonder why veterans and service members overwhelmingly vote Republican. It isn't a mystery.

+1. I cannot believe the moderator allows these posts.

Being a soldier doesn’t get you a free pass to being a racist insurrectionist without being called out for it. At least to those of us who can think logically.

If anything it makes it even worse.

They took an oath to defend our Constitution against all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC.

Then they go and fly the flag of a traitorous rebellion against the United States, a traitorous rebellion enacted because the traitors wanted the right to own fellow human beings. They storm our legislature in a mob attempting to murder politicians and overturn an election conducted duly and fairy according to the Constitution. They support a President who routinely wiped their butt with the Constitution, and who in all probability was selling nuclear secrets to our foreign enemies!

Not only should they know better, they are literally doing the thing they swore to defend against. They are despicable.

I challenge you to read this. These are the actual documents of a number of Southern states setting forth their reasons for secession. Go to the source. Not some fiction you learned in your history classes in high school. Read the actual documents. Then come back and tell me you are proud of what that flag stands for. https://www.battlefields.org/learn/primary-sources/declaration-causes-seceding-states

Gotta love this quote from Mississippi’s secession declaration:

Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin. That we do not overstate the dangers to our institution, a reference to a few facts will sufficiently prove.

Whatcha got to say to that, Johnny Reb?

Our beautiful southern flag honors our valor on the field, courtly virtues and independence. Doesn’t have a damn thing to do with slavery, which was a horrific institution for which it seems we all keep paying the price.

The Confederate flag was LITERALLY the flag of the Confederate Army, which was fighting a war of secession against the United States so that they could keep the institution of slavery. The "independence" you refer to is the "independence" to keep owning slaves. And as far as "courtly values" go, you've obviously watched Gone With the Wind too many times and think it is fact not fiction. The Confederate flag is inextricably linked to the fight to maintain slavery, and any attempts to decouple the two take a certain kind of delusional mindset that normal people can't even wrap their minds around.

First it was a pee pee tape, then it was a secret internet link from trump tower to Russia.

Now it’s a secret sale of nuclear secrets.

I’ll wait for the evidence, thanks.

Veterans who think being a veteran gives them a free pass to being a racist insurrectionist without being called out for it. It was right there in the post. Are you illiterate?

Little known fact - first place to follow South Carolina in secession planning was New York City.

New Yorkers got cold feet when it turned violent at ft Sumter.

But the U.S. was founded by racist slave owning white western cis hetero males and there is no getting away from that.

Read some Nikole Hannah Jones and Ta-Nehesi Coates.

Read Slavery by Another Name and stop pretending the southern whites were sooooooo much worse.
