[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That poster who was defending the confederate flag seemed emotionally disturbed.   Basically people like that are paranoid schizophrenia.  That PP has probably spent YEARS "studying" his "subject" and coming up with facile responses to arguments he's heard hundreds of times.  When guys like that PP get too far lost in their delusions, really bad things can happen.  Fortunately most are just harmless cranks but not always.  The bottom line is that flag is a deliberate racist symbol. That's what it means and it's all that it means, period.  It doesn't stand for a brave and noble lost cause.  It's always stood for pure stupidity.  It's always stood for a horrible war for a worthless "cause"-- slavery--because southern leaders didn't care about slaves and they didn't care about their own sons, they led them to horrible slaughter against the North.

People like PP defending that flag and all those in favor of it are just doubling and tripling down in delusional stupidity.  These guys aren't simply racists--they're mentally disturbed people who latch onto a racist world view to provide focus to their pre-existing mental illness.  It didn't even have to be racism either.  If PP had happened to latch onto something else to obsessively focus on it could have been anything like John Lennon or Jodi Foster.[/quote]

I'm a white Jewish girl who is also an antiques dealer. I believe history should be preserved; that we can learn so much from the past, that to destroy it or re-write it dooms us to repeat our mistakes. I feel re-writing and/or burying history, no matter how dark it might be, is a hallmark of insanity.

If you want a definition of insanity, political correctness is it. [/quote]

Nope, it's apparent any all your posts that it's all about money. You make money off of this and it matters not if it is offensive. It's all about the Benjamin's. [/quote]

Again, I deal in dresses and bridal items, some costume jewelry, so confederate memorabilia isn't my market - my customers wouldn't really want it.  So no, I'm not making money off it. But thanks for assuming :)[/quote]

What exactly does selling dresses or war memorabilia have to do with flying the Confederate flag on the grounds of the State House?  People buy and sell lots of things, that has nothing to do with what a government chooses to honor and glorify.[/quote]

Exactly. The poster accused me of making money on Confederate flags, etc. I'm simply stating that I don't sell that stuff.[/quote]
