Politicians attacking flag of resistance
There is a very good reason why the Confederate flag is under attack.
It is because it is the rebel flag. The flag of resistance, of (as columnist Fred Reed so neatly – so accurately – put it)… leave me the hell alone. This is why it’s favored by rural whites whose great-great-great grandparents never owned slaves nor wanted to – but who can’t stand annoying busybodies (they call ’em Yankees down South but the principle applies generally) who seem to think they are god’s anointed, sent hither to instruct and enlighten.
Who cannot stand the idea that others (anywhere) might hold differing opinions, do things differently – and so must becompelled to hold the right opinions, do theright things.
As the Yankees define these things.

It has a christian background,southern people god fearing vs Yankees worldly.
11:53, I just read it. And, as slavery was protected under it, the Preamble and all the other deviations from the US Constitution make the slavery issue a side item. Mostly, it said to the Feds, "Leave us the he11 alone."
Slavery, at the time, along with indentured servitude, were practiced by both sides.
Show me a photo of an overseer holding a Confederate flag while slaves pick cotton.
What morons...bringing up the Confederate constitution as some sort of "proof" of their devotion to slavery. It was considered a "necessary evil", at best.
The North had slaves as well...and did not even free them until after the Civil War. In fact, some states didn't even ratify the 14th Amendment freeing the slaves in the north until well after the Civil War ended.
It literally took an act of Congress to force Union general (and later president) Ulysses Grant to free his own slaves...after the Civil War had ended.
The Irish and English were the first slaves brought here long before the Chiefs in Africa sold there own. You don't hear the Irish or English looking for entitlements. They worked and became an asset. The blacks are the whiners of the 19th, 20th, and 21st Century . And they will still whine tell the moon and back sitting on the porches collecting welfare.
Cracker Barrel is racist. It offendes me and know one is listening!!!
