Thanks a lot, dude! Now I'm gonna have nightmares with that vivid image etched in my subconsious.
 
Come on now, don't you get what Squeeze is saying? Apparently everyone that dislikes gays is a Southern redneck. So if you're English, German, French, Russian, whatever... slap that confederate flag on with pride! Makes perfect sense and is indeed an enlightened opinion as well.

Or Squeeze was using the flag as an icon for ignorance and you are pasting your own insecurities all over his post. Pseudo-intellectuals are the best!
 
eddie..to elaborate on my previous post I was born and raised in the South and there are always marches with skin heads, KKK etc and the Confederate flag is always used at these marches. By doing that it adds fuel to the fire for the NAACP and other groups to say the flag is bad etc. To those who truly understand the meaning of the flag, fly it and display the Confederate flag it makes it very difficult. I should be able to be proud of my heritage without being called a racist. Way off this subject, but it gets really old having the flag used the wrong way making it more difficult for the rest of us. That's all.
Does anyone remember the flag fight at the capital in SC? It HAD to be taken off the state building , but then it was also protested that it couldn't be flown at the Confederate memorial either. Enough is enough. If some idiots wouldn't use it the way they do then I don't think anyone would care where the flag was flown or what flag it was.

Wasn't that the thing where the confederate flag was 1/4 of the flag and they bit**ed about having that part removed like 2 years ago?



Edit: wow...horrible grammar. Just horible
 
they should still park the Iowa in SF bay and every day (Mon-Fri people, c'mmon I'm not that unreasonable) at 1200 sharp fire a salvo into the city.

edit: I liked going to the Lexington in Corpus. I liked going to the Alabama(?) in Mobile. The city may have one million people, but the bay area at large has many many many more people that have not had the exposure to that part of history, whether is was not taught in schools or they have not had the oppertunity.

I still stand by my original post.... let 'er rip.

I think I'm just going to pre-emptively agree to disagree with you here and kindly shut up...

Just for the record, I hate the blow-hards on both sides of the issue. Nobody alive today has any stake or standing in what went down in the 19th century. So, the blacks who decry the confederate flag as racist are just as ridiculous as the southerners who say that it's a part of their heritage. Give me a fvcking break and get over it - both of you! It's because of the incessant complainers out there that life in this country is becoming more and more unpleasant for the majority who are content to "live and let live."

The military's job is to f**king kill people, not be opinionated and oversensitive to fragile little minorities.
When a military force must succomb to being oversensitive, and use caution and effort to avoid hurting the feelings of unique little snowflakes, it becomes weak.

Agree with you 100% there, Schnugg. Too much PC makes us weak and whiny b****es. We need to get back to the days of rough, tough men like those who fought WWII, Korea, and Vietnam.

Yeah, no kidding, those guys fighting in Iraq are a punch of pansies; not like the heroes of yesteryear...


All sarcasm aside, don't turn the PC-failings of politicians into some sort of indictment against the military...the mission of the Marine rifle platoon is still to locate, close with, and destroy the enemy by fire and maneuver, and we are doing just that.
