Kaydence, why do you keep defending a flag that stood for treason in the defense of commerce of human beings? That is what the Confederacy was all about: "I have the right to buy and sell people". It's in the Cornerstone documents.
I'm not defending that flag. How many times in the course of these idiotic threads have I said I don't care about that flag?
Why do some of you keep insisting that I have to believe what you do or I'm wrong?
1.) Slavery was wrong. I have never owned a slave.
2.) Hitler was pure unadulterated evil. Ethnic cleansing was the work of a monster and all of this seems eerily reminiscent to me of ethnic cleansing! Some of you are trying to tell others that in order to right the wrongs of the past we must erase all semblance of what this nation was founded upon and I don't agree with that. I think we need constant reminders that we should never be again what we were in the past.
3.) The KKK is a hate group..pure and simple. I have never been in the clan or been a clan sympathizer!
4.) Peoples lives (all people) matter regardless of what color your are and I've been very consistent about that as well.
5.) Would I personally attend a hate rally knowing people were gunning for a fight? Not likely.
6.) Was wrong done on both sides...every picture tells a story and those photos and live videos were not photo-shopped.
If you think for a minute removing all semblances of our past is going to make everything right in this country you are sadly delusional. All this is doing is creating more hate and animosity that many of you are claiming you're against. What makes you or anyone else think you have the right to tell people what they should or shouldn't believe and to ram your opinions down their throats and spew epithets when they have a different view?
I don't know if you've ever noticed LVT but I won't stand for and pray at BCC meetings. Why? Because I'm not a hypocrite. I don't pray out one side of my mouth while helping the Government screw over the people who elected them nor do I support Government led prayer. I also don't recite the Pledge of Allegiance but I will stand out of respect for the lives of the men and women who have died defending what they believe in including, fighting wars that made politicians rich.
I personally can't think of a single war this country has been involved in that was justified or that didn't take a heavy toll on peoples lives. Not one!
Bigotry is as ugly as hypocrisy and I personally think if your going to be outraged at the civil war you should be outraged by all of them. If you are going to be outraged by the Confederate flag you should also be outraged by the American flag as well. They both have the blood of human lives on them.
