The federal government has no Constitutional right to dictate to any state what flags they fly. The idea that federal government financially supports southern states has been dispelled here repeatedly. The statistics are skewed by the disproportionate number of military installations in the South, plus its popularity as a retirement destination. There is also a large black underclass living on welfare for generations. If the South is such an economic wasteland, why did your german auto companies put all their factories there? BMW have a large plant in SC. Apparently the presence of the Confederate flag wasn't much of an issue for them when they were looking for state handouts to subsidize their factory.
"black underclass"? Wow, do they still exist? And I thought you and your brethren had eradicated them already long time ago.
Associating. Yes, FHL comes over to swim in the pool. Our families go to football games together, and I built the fence around his yard. We're old school mates!
A significant percentage of his countrymen have pretty much the same opinion now. Nobody in the South think slavery was a good idea. We're still suffering from its after effects.
Lieberals treat the confederate flag just like they do elections. It's never, ever over until they get their way. And then suddenly, once it goes in their favor, 'it's over!, you lost!, accept it!" Like a ten year old kid.
