So we can unite under one banner during a time of war.

Now I don't really care at all about the Confederate flag. But isnt this alittle hypocritical of Hillary? I mean for the past 4 years she has been advocating that it's perfectly alright to dissent and disagree and oppose/undermine foreign policy in a time of war. That's perfectly alright, but we need to make sure we do it under one flag?

I'm sorry but I seriously have to question of someone who thinks is more important to only one flag during a time of war and yet vote for a resolution opposing our attempts to empower our troops. (Especially when there is one flag over all of us and South Carolina just happens to have a second one).

She's pandering to the southern black vote before it gets away.

Ouch! and they don't mind "big booty".

Looks like typical Hillary pandering. It's a non-issue. Personally I am from the north and hate the Confederate flag, but I don't think it's a make or break issue regarding defeat or victory in Iraq. Dumb.

The confederate flag is a part of our history, a very important part.

She's just doing her yankee thing for the black vote. It will be forgotten next week unless she harps on it.

I have never really understood this issue or "non" issue. Weren't there states flying the equivilent of the modern red, white and blue who had black slaves too? I thought the flag was about more, much more than just slavery.

Slavery was dumb. But I love the Confederate flag because it's a big "fuck you" to the forces of political correctness.

That is actually sad, sad state of education.

Still, what is the big deal? I haven't researched it indepth, but the flag does not "solely" represent [I want to own slaves, etc], it is more than that. Why is it black people are offended when the US flag has flown in slave owning states. Don't tell me they think this flag is the only flag flown under slave ownership...

Back in the early days of punk rock some wore swastikas and other Nazi memorablilia for the same reason. To be provocative. It's a slippery slope.

Yea, Nuc is on the "high ground" here. I'm from the South, and I got no problems with the Confederate flag, but I also know that many do.

In today's environment, ya got to give a little to get a little, the Confederate flag is a little "over the top".

Problem is, trobinett, whites do all the giving and everyone else does all the getting. And it solves nothing. The rest keep bitching and demanding more, more, more! And whites keep apologizing, getting on their knees, begging for forgiveness. But we keep getting smacked. It ain't just the Confederate flag.

They won't rest until WE are removed.

She can come take the one in my garage down, and I hope she brings Bubba along to help. I can put a hurtin' on the Clinton lineage REAL quick.
