Sears, too, at least in the USA...

Wal-Mart Stores Inc and Sears Holdings Corp said they would stop selling
products bearing the Confederate flag, a week after a white gunman shot
nine dead at a historically black South Carolina church.

Of course, that'll **** off the usual right-wing suspects in rec.boats...

As the old bag would say "what difference does it make?"

BTW, you can tell who the racists are by whether they come to the
"defense" of flying the confederate flag or lamenting that it is heading
to the museum, one state at a time, in the south.


It is just an issue of blaming symbols on insanity and crime. When
people object to the "pants hanging off your ass" look (which is
simply a symbol that the wearer has been to prison and not afraid to
go back) you folks on the left defend it. How about the million
"hoodie" march?

Let's hear it for drug gangs!


We don't see much "pants hanging off your ass" looks here in Calvert
County, or, when I go to downtown DC or Annapolis. Must be in your old
neighborhood here, I suppose.

The confederate flag is indeed a symbol when it flies on or over a
public space...it is a symbol of white power, racism, slavery, and
traitors.

The confederates were and are traitorous dirtbags.

So were the founding fathers, what's your point. They even had slaves.
Are we going to take Washington and Jefferson off of the mountain?,
Rename all of those cities and counties?



Whoooooosh.

So you admit you got nothin' OK.

You can't deny that Britain had banned slavery on their homeland by
1776 (starting with a number of court cases years earlier) and the US
was one of the colonies that clung to it for close to a century.
Slaves built the Capitol and the White House. Aren't they "symbols"
too? Take them DOWN.


The "whoooooosh" was in reference to your vacuous point. Those southern
states flying that flag of traitors over its public buildings and spaces
aren't "remembering" their heritage, they're pushing their love of
slavery, discrimination, and racial hate in the forefront of their aging
white voters.

Now I know what you mean by Whooooosh. It means that you are upset that
someone doesn't buy into your cockeyed view of "how things ought to be".

You will see it if you get over in "souf'ese". I have a friend who is
rehabilitating an inlaw's house on Wheeler Road and I inspected the
electric for him a few years ago. There are plenty of gangsters down
there.
I will agree, perhaps this is not supposed to be on a state flag like
Mississippi but it is the choice of the people in that state, not
activists on MSNBC.

War memorials are a different issue but the country is full of them.
How are you on the ones that glorify the subjugation of the indians?


There was nothing honorable or worth honoring in the slaughter of
the Indians or in the south's secession or in the south's decision to go
to way to preserve slavery.

It was never the flag of the confederacy. Many think it is so I guess
that reason enough to take it down.

It was the battle flag and perfectly appropriate for a war memorial.
If the institutions of the old south are your beef, it should be the
political flag that was banned.

If the racists Harry is worried about co opt the American flag next,
should we ban that one too?


The retailers are getting a lot of free publicity for it. I could care
less about that flag and I'm surprised it took this long for it to be an
issue.

The Washington Redskins have survived their "controversy" so far but
they may be next.
