Stars and Stripes flies over “slavery” a helluva lot longer than the Stars and Bars.

Derps in SC want to haul down the Confederate flag because it stands for “slavery” and “oppression”….

Fucking morons…

Burning the Stars and Stripes is totally legal and doesn’t mean anything because it’s just a piece of cloth, but the Stars and Bars represents “slavery and oppression”…

I swear, I can’t be as stupid as these fucksticks if I tried….

and don’t forget the systematic massacre of Native-American populations ,not to mention the mass slaughter, rape and robbery of Southern civilians conducted under the banner of the Stars and Stripes. No genocide or mass criminal enterprise was was ever conducted under the banner of the stars and bars.
Now , again , which is the banner of hate?

How Lincoln’s Army ‘Liberated’ the Indians

By Thomas DiLorenzo

“Most of the other generals who took a direct role in the Indian wars, writes Marszalek, “were, like Sherman, [Union] Civil War luminaries.” This included “John Pope, O.O. Howard, Nelson A. Miles, Alfred H. Terry, E.O.C. Ord, C.C. Augeur, and R.S. Canby. General Winfield Scott Hancock should be added to this list of “luminaries.” Among the colonels, “George Armstrong Custer and Benjamin Grierson were the most famous.”

Sherman and General Phillip Sheridan were associated with the statement that “the only good Indian is a dead Indian.” The problem with the Indians, Sherman said, was that “they did not make allowance for the rapid growth of the white race” (Marszalek, p. 390). And, “both races cannot use this country in common” (Fellman, p. 263).

Sherman’s theory of white racial superiority is what led him to the policy of waging war against the Indians “till the Indians are all killed or taken to a country where they can be watched.” As Fellman (p. 264) writes:

Sherman planted a racist tautology: Some Indians are thieving, killing rascals fit for death; all Indians look alike; therefore, to get some we must eliminate all . . . deduced from this racist tautology . . . the less destructive policy would be racial cleansing of the land . . .

Accordingly, Sherman wrote to Grant: “We must act with vindictive earnestness against the Sioux, even to their extermination, men, women and children.” Writing two days later to his brother John, General Sherman said: “I suppose the Sioux must be exterminated . . .” (Fellman, p. 264).

This was Sherman’s attitude toward Southerners during the War for Southern Independence as well. In a July 31, 1862 letter to his wife (from his Collected Works) he wrote that his purpose in the war was: “Extermination, not of soldiers alone, that is the least part of the trouble, but the [Southern] people.” His charming and nurturing wife Ellen wrote back that her fondest wish was for a war “of extermination and that all [Southerners] would be driven like the Swine into the sea.”

With this attitude, Sherman issued the following order to his troops at the beginning of the Indian Wars: “During an assault, the soldiers cannot pause to distinguish between male and female, or even discriminate as to age. As long as resistance is made, death must be meted out . . .” (Marszalek, p. 379).

No one will find the US supported East Timor genocide in any school/college books. Let’s ask the Native Americans and Hawaiians about Washington’s oppression and violence. I wonder what the native people of Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippine islands would think of America’s imperialism in 1898? Perhaps America was a better master than the Spanish.

John 8:7 “So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”

Hey Thran?

That quote from John 8:7?

Yeah, we already argued that somewhere else, but basically all the earliest copies of what would eventually become the New Testament don’t have that in it.

Which means it was never part of Christian canon. Which means someone made it up whole cloth and stuck it in there because it sounded good. Which means it’s fraudulent.

Just sayin’… if you’re gonna backstop your point with some kind of proof, might want to pick something that’s a bit less impeachable…

Here ya go, Thran.

Interestingly enough, the earliest manuscripts of the Gospel of John do not contain this beloved passage. Indeed, the first manuscript to contain the story is from around 400 C.E. (AD) Around 4% of Greek manuscripts that include the passage place it in locations other than John 8:1-8:11; the earliest of these is from around the ninth and tenth centuries C.E. (AD). This perplexing manuscript history fuels debates about whether the story was originally in John’s Gospel and, if so, where. The majority of scholars believe a later Christian scribe inserted the passage into John’s Gospel at John 8:1-8:11 and that the alternate locations are due to the effects of later liturgical reading in what is known as the lectionary system. This popular method of reading the Bible broke the text into individual units that were designated for specific days and often rearranged the order of the holy text in order to reflect these reading preferences. The story of the woman caught in adultery was one of several such relocated passages.

So, nobody can find it until 400 years after Jesus died, with the passage only being associated with John 8:1-11 about a thousand years after He died…

Sooo, good luck with that.

I’ve asked all my Southern Brothers who are now in favor of removing the flag because it is a symbol of hate to please remove all crosses from their church and homes . Crosses have been at the forefront of the racist movement. They’ve been burned in black folks front yards going back generation . So in order to remove all symbols of hate from our progressive society ( the exception is to Southern History) I call for the cross’s removal, starting today .

As a last note it appears that the folks who went after the flag are telling us that ALL of the monuments,flags etc dealing with the Southern War For Independence must be removed. Hmmmm….does that include my great,great,great Grand Fathers tombstone ?

Get rid of that rag! Horizontal stripes make my gut look fat. Let’s put up a more enlightened flag instead. https://search.yahoo.com/search?p=chinese+flag+image&fr=ush-mailn_02&fr2=p%3Aml%2Cm%3Asb

Billy: Thank you for this information. While it may not be historically accurate, I hope the analogy will still resonate with the issue of hypocrisy.

Why stop with SC, don’t you think it is fitting for the entire country? Maybe a little Mao inspired little red book to go along with the above flag.

This is so painfully stupid. As a person who has lived a number of years South of the Mason-Dixon line (I was born a hundred yards North of it), to me the Confederate flag is a symbol of the South. I don’t see it as racisst, I see it as a historic reminder that people can band together against aggression.
If these fuckers like Wal-mart, ebay, Sears, etc. think banning sales of this flag will in some way reduce racial tensions they’re wrong, all it will do is make the items more sought after and drive more Southerners to display it.

Confederate Flag Sales Soar Despite Populist Removal Of Merchandise
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/23/2015 – 17:20

Following the removal of Confederate Flag merchandise from WalMart; Sears, Ebay, ETSY, and prominent flag maker Valley Forge Flags have all joined the ‘movement’ and stopped selling the ‘controversial’ flag. However, as with any and all government-‘suggested’ actions, there are unintended consequences in the hypocrisy of implicitly banning this symbolic banner… sales of Confederate Flags are soaring everywhere else (as the “guns and ammo”-like threat of scarcity has led to a run on the products).

Before too long any flag, patch, or other symbol will be deemed to offend someone, somewhere. Say goodbye to any form of individual expression. What a nation of pussies we’ve become.

The USA sucks so bad. I think we should all leave and find a more just and ethical place to live. A place that has no history of oppression or violence one where we can all feel guilty for being white and successful.
