The Gay Pride flag offends me. Can we ban that one?

Courts have already upheld schools banning the US flag from clothing on Stinko de Mayonnaise so that the illegals don't get offended.

A liberal takes a stand that I would never have believed ...
Webb defends use of Confederate flag
Former Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.), a possible 2016 presidential candidate, said on Wednesday that Americans should rethink rushing to ban displays of the Confederate flag at state Capitols.
Webb, a former secretary of the Navy, defended the historic emblem’s use in a post on his Facebook account.
“The Confederate Battle Flag has wrongly been used for racist and other purposes in recent decades,†Webb said. “It should not be used in any way as a political symbol that divides us.
Webb urged Americans to respect the bravery and heroism of individual Confederate and Union soldiers during the Civil War.
"It was in recognition of the character of soldiers on both sides that the federal government authorized the construction of the Confederate Memorial 100 years ago, on the grounds of Arlington National Cemetery,†Webb said.

Webb is an opportunist...he knows that much of the Dem base in rural Virginia that votes are old school Dixiecrats and he doesn't want to alienate potential voters.

A couple of years ago my husband and I attended a minor league baseball game on the 4th of July. Everything was great right up until the time we heard the Spanish version of the Star Spangled Banner. :mad: I have young grandchildren; I have been playing the Star Spangled Banner and other patriotic songs to them while they are in the car for years. ALL of my grandchildren already know the Pledge of Allegiance...and yes, "One Nation Under GOD" is empahsized.

I am convinced that the dumbing down of most Americans is almost complete when it comes to our history!
The real Stars and Bars: (http://i59.tinypic.com/30xd3yv.jpg)
The flag that the media keeps calling the Stars and Bars is the Confederate Naval Jack.
More history:
The historical reasons for the War of Northern Aggression have more to do with severe tariffs and duties the North placed on Southern goods than with slavery.
The Yankee border states had slaves too.
In fact, the Emancipation Proclamation was just a war ploy on Lincoln’s part, “freeing†only the slaves in the confederacy, and trying to create a fifth column behind enemy lines.
The border state slaves remained enslaved until the end of the war.
Lincoln was quoted as saying he wanted to send all the blacks back to Africa.

Louis Farrakhan wants in on this debate:
“I don’t know what the hell the fight is about over the Confederate flag. We need to put the American flag down. Because we’ve caught as much hell under that as the Confederate flag."

‎@clairecmc
What kind of person would equate the American flag with the Confederate flag? This one. http://politi.co/1dgKXwm
So bad.
The left hates the American flag. They see it as racist and oppressive.

‎@JesseBenn
No doubt the American flag represents as much/more oppression as the Confederate flag - the difference is one is already history.

‎@iconogasmic
The American flag is just as much a symbol of racism as the Confederate flag. Take them both down.
6:26 PM - 19 Jun 2015
Proof? The Communist and Nazis flag is racist.
Nessa.
‎@curlyheadRED
The imagery of the American flag is dangerous. It's emblematic of inherent anti-Blackness cloaked in perceived race-neutral ideals.
Huh? :???: :wtf2:
Nessa.
‎@curlyheadRED
The American flag is a lie.
It represents freedom, yet its ideals used to justify oppression & is hoisted up in nations we imperialize.

The American flag represents just as much blood as the confederate flag, why just take down one? #TakeDownBothFlags

If you're burning the confederate flag because it represents racism, genocide, and slavery, you might as well burn the American flag too.

Confederate flag was created at end of slavery. American Flag was created 100 years before end of slavery. Which one represents slavery?

‎@mxrk
take down the Confederate flag, but remember the regular American flag also represents a history of slavery, white supremacy, and genocide

‎@curlyheadRED
We should remove the Confederate flag from everywhere, it represents blatant racism but the American flag still represents white supremacy.
3:27 PM - 19 Jun 2015
You again. Racism starts with the individual, not the flag. Let's start with liberals. They are the most hateful and vile people I have come across. They always complain and are bitter. They are addicted to victimhood.

American flag is more more pervasive, accepted, and defended, yet represents a real threat with a higher murder count than the confederacy.

The American Flag represents nothing but imperialism, racism, capitalism, a nation divided, patriarchy, injustice, war, death.

How about Great Britain, France, China, or Japan? They engaged in colonialism.
