By the way, do you like our Blue Angels ?
If i believed in the devil, their name might offend me. Would you support a name change ? And if i were fat, i may find Fat Alberts name offensive. Would you support changing it to Slightly Overweight Albert ? Sounds stupid huh ?

Re: mr jenkins, i think when you say it was the largest treasonist uprising against this country in history, you forget that 13 states rebelled less than 100 years before that mostly from the northern portion of our country against england which at the time WAS our country. It was called the revolutionary war. I had relatives that fought in that one too. We one that one. We are batting 500 in my book.

Why are they not removing the other flags? It was slave ships flying the American, British, Spainish, and French flags that went out to capture slaves and bring them to this country.

I don’t. I am not proud to be American at all anymore. Heck, i’m not even proud to say i’m from Molino anymore. If i had the resourses, i’d live in the Canadian wilderness somewhere, away from this brainwashed sick society who worship the image of the beast.

This entire issue is a complete joke. But I’ve lowered my expectations of good ole ‘Merica. What else would you expect from a country that worships a high paid prostitute (Kim Kardashian) with a step dad who’s praised because he ‘discovered’ he thinks he’s a woman; a country that murders unborn babies wholesale; that has attempted to re-define nature itself with it’s ‘marriage’ laws; let’s a paltry, purpetually offended 3.8% of the population dictate to the other 96%, etc.

The flag debate is only a symptom of what is wrong with the USA. We’re heading down a path that if not quickly changed, will result in the fall of the American Empire. It happened to Rome, Greece, Germany, and Japan. Our time is coming.

Take the flag down. Take them all down. America doesn’t stand for anything these days.

The past is the past. It is time for the media to stop inciting violence and the division between our people just to make a buck. It is time for people (who by the way were never slaves nor slave-owners) to get beyond the past and reach for the future. Taking a flag down will not stop this. It is only a flag with very limited abilities. Only people who embrace each other and let the past stay in the past will ever have any true happiness in this life. We are all people and all Americans. What difference does it make what color, race, ethnicity, or religion you are? We are all people who deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. We are all people who need to step up and say enough is enough and take charge of our lives by working toward being responsible, informed citizens, responsible for ourselves and our actions, responsible for our own livelihood, responsible for our children and families and letting the past become the past. I would hazard a guess that most of us have no idea what blood flows through our veins so why not just be Americans. And stop creating a reason to hate one another.
