It is not the St. Andrews Cross the Klan officially uses. It uses the United States flag. It should too. That is the flag that brought slaves to this great nation. Not the St. Andrews cross. It never was on a slave ship. It has been misused by some White Supremest, but without the permission of those who promised to keep it in our Southern History. That is all we ask. It is our Heritage and no hate group has permission nor do the Sons of Confederate Vetrans condone it to be used in that way. It is a Flag that men, women, children both white and black folks died trying to defend it. It represents on it's St. Andrews the 13 seceded states that wanted to severe ties with a tyranical Government that was keeping the South poor and the Norht prosporous. It is still evident today in the South. We are the poorest part of the Country and we have more black folk living with us than many Northern States and we grew up together and never did have a race issue as a whole of the people of the South. A hate group grew in the South and now the whole of the Southern States which fought for that flag are being told it is a racist flag. Nothing could be further from the truth. History is History and you will never erace that unless we become a Nazi type of Government. We Southerners will forever fight against oppression of any type. This is just what I am talking about.

But for you that is normal. Obama is no more Hitler than Bush 2 was. The point is, again, if you are dead as a direct result of actions performed under their watch, you are just as dead as any one that Hitler sent to a gas chamber.

Obama does not have to have "gas chambers". The point was that those innocents killed as collateral damage are just as dead as those in gas chambers. AS much as you believe Obama is as pure as the driven snow, he is after all the commander-in-chief which means he has ultimate responsibility for the actions of all who serve under him.

Well put. I don't always agree with you, but this was on target. Too bad there are so many right and left winger's leaving comments. FITS, good article. Well put.

How do you think an Islamic militant would respond to the remark? Why would an Islamic militant care about such a remark. He/she wants to kill us.
