(11,464 posts)As it matters little except for semantics, I will apologize for what you are saying is a mis-interpretation of his words defending the south during wartime. So I apologize if I mistook the meaning of their words.
I wish though you would(as you demanded of me), piece by piece word by word say how they were not defending it. Especially as your first paragraph is berating me for being rigid.
You seem to be saying it is what it is but it isn't what it is
As for anyone flying the Dixie Flag, it would be like flying the Nazi flag, because anyone who sees it would indeed be insulted by it, especially if that person were a black person.
Like the words "states rights" it has a meaning that is unmistakenable.
And you have to admit in 2012 terms, with the tea party/libertarians/republicans IT is what it is what it is is.
Their meanings are NOT 1/2 and 1/2 but whole.
They ARE racist and their belief that only the 2nd amendment applies and no others especially later ones (even though their beloved Jefferson himself wrote it was a living document to be added to and #1zillion amendment is the same as the 1st or 2nd) but they are trying to negate the 13th and all the others for their racist reasons they imply.
Now we should all kiss the feet of President Lincoln.
(and to add- I know Ralph Kramden did not write that line in the title, it is a joke, and Ralph Kramden is a fictional character (c) at that played by Jackie Gleason, who late in his career played the fun loving Sheriff in Smokey and the Bandit and supported Richard Nixon
The phrase "Youth is wasted on the young" was (c) by George Bernard Shaw, whom I believe also was the writer of Bobby Kennedy's "Some men see things as they are and say why,
I dream things that never were and say why not" (c) George Bernard Shaw
BTW-if a fictional poster in effect actually should have meant what seemingly had been implied, why the need not to admit it. Why say it then immediately fess innocense and not admit it?
I see that alot, the backing off.
If only John Kerry had said, damn right, I said it and meant it, when caught not knowing the mike was on when he said something about W being a (so and so).
If you write it, be proud of it. (again I am talking a fictional poster here, no one in general meant or implied).
Otherwise, perhaps clarrify it, though I myself would never demand military style someone do something like that. It's too bossy and too bully. And I am not a bully nor a boss.
Nor do I own a gun, nor ever will.
