    So you're saying the Confederate Flag is a secondary source of history? How so? What history is being taught by waving the Confederate flag about, or erecting monuments to the traitors who lost it?


    It also makes it appear states were united over this issue and ignores variations in the states. For example, Sam Houston was elected governor of Texas in 1859 and campaigned around the state in 1860 opposing secession. He refused to swear an oath to the Confederacy. Some counties voted against secession.
    Le sigh...Texas literally wrote in their Articles of Secession that they think white people are superior to blacks and that they're seceding because of slavery.

    So where on the Confederate Flag design, or where on any of the monuments erected to those losers, does it say any of that?

    How does the Confederate Flag or the monuments to the traitors serve what they say in the Articles of Secession that I just linked to?


    Some counties voted against secession.
    BoThSiDeRiSm at its worst.

    Also, why is this an argument for the Confederate Flag and monuments?

    Which you just did when you tried to make the case for Confederate monuments by saying some counties opposed secession. Cognitive dissonance there, Flash. If some counties voted against secession, how does that lesson get taught by a monument to someone who fought for secession, or a flag that those same traitors fought under?

    And just how do you erase history? Let me guess a time machine you go back and stop the civil war from ever happening? Oh wait prevent slavery world wide then no way.

    Only an idiot believes they can undo something that already happened.

    Yet, you're the one defending monuments and flags to traitors who thought white Christians were superior and that black people are of lesser race that should be subjugated.

    You're insulted by the museum dropping the flag of treason from their logo because it erases history somehow, even though the museum is probably chock full of those dumb flags.

    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    I am whining about nothing, I simply do not want a civil war museum forced to take out what was a part of our History. My Comparison is that a guy got 16 years for Burning a queer flag, but people burn the American flag all the time with no consequences.

    yep, you're triggered. do you ever get tired of being proven wrong?
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
