why does the south and truckers still fly the confederate flag?

Apparently, you are the most patriotic of all of us.. and to top it off, you know everything. Then do us a favor, go to Iraq and take a bullet (in the head preferably) yourself instead of coming here and making uneducated responses regarding a situation you have no real knowledge about.

I am in Iraq you dumba**. US Army. So I would say I have first hand knowledge after twice here and considering my rank more than most. Thanks for the comment take a bullet to the head. Think before you speak next time.

Also just so you know I have a BA in History. So we good go for ever on historical stuff and how this is connected to that, Civil War and the flag. I tried to give some hints to explain it but I am not here to give a history lesson. Thats why we have Universities.

Bottom line genxx, the Iraq war has nothing to do with the confederate flag.
So there really was no point to bring that up.

Do you honestly think that saying, over the net, that you have this degree and that rank and blah blah blah means anything? Nobody gives a shit. Plain and simple. Go back to killing ragheads already. Be sure to give them a history lesson while you're at it. kthx.

In Mississippi we had a vote to where as we wanted to keep the confederate flag in the top left hand corner of our state flag. The results: the proposed shredding went down to defeat by 2 to 1. Much to the shock of the media, pro-flag forces even won majorities in mostly black counties. The old flag stands for freedom against government tyranny, while the new one – in addition to being ugly – stands for nothing other than the brow-beating of special interests. An overwhelming majority voted 65% to keep the flag. About 40% of MS is black. So if it was such a racist thing dont you think more black people would have voted on this issue.

The fact of the matter is people that arent from the South hate the flag. So if you arent from here then you just dont understand.

American by birth, Southern by the grace of God

You are trying hard to get under my skin good thing I have thick skin.(have to on CA.com) Its ok you are a pus** and not here. We understand you are the same kinda guy that lets a friend take an a** beaten' by four guys then says man I was there for you.

Its been fun arguing back and forth. Thanks for giving me an outlet to relieve stress. This is my last post thanks for playing along.

Well for one, up until a couple weeks ago, I was still in school. Gotta graduate before going into any military branch.

And about having a friend take an assbeating, depends on which one of my friends. If he honestly deserved it, then I would watch for a bit, then try to stop the assbeating. If my buddy David was getting his *** beat, I would join right in and beat his *** too. Then I would strip his car of any stereo equipment or anything else of value, and pawn it. He's owed me over $200 for over 3 months now and hasn't paid a cent. And FYI, I have 3 friends in the military, one of which has already been to Iraq.. and based on his stories, I say its a shithole that we need to get out of because there's nothing really we can do. The people there ****, and so do their resources.

I would love to explain it all but if you don't get it I cannot help you.
Think about it in historical context. I pose a few questions to you.

Was Germany really threatening the US or Europe?

Why the hell where we in Vietnam?

Do you really think we are fighting Iraqi's here and that is who attack us on a daily basis or is the terrorist motherfu***** that soldiers take the bullet for so they stay off US ground?

Its all about choosing where to fit. We could do it here or in your back yard. Then think about if Iran controlled this region what are the strategic ramifications. This may be above you thought process but here it is.

Ramification Iran takes and controls the worlds largest oil reserve. Gas prices, energy cost more than you can afford. Get out the shoes and walk to work.

Because soldiers your fellow Americans die here does it make them shit then.

BY the way there is not one drop of oil flowing out of here FYI.

Just some thoughts. Flame away and find the humor in us being here.

oh dude face it we have no real reason for being there..are president just wanted some oil from them thats all..

Ugh. We aren't in Iraq for any reasons regarding 'freedoms' that pertain to US Citizens, which is what you stated. Instead of responding sensibly to my question as to what 'freedoms' are being protected in Iraq, you post this babble.

If you're a history buff, you'd know it's impossible to compare Nazi Germany to Iraq. They have NOTHING to do with one another, yet you are trying to compare Germany and WWII to our being in Iraq... BTW...Germany wasn't a threat to Europe? Are you that retarded? Seriously...are you?

And bringing up Vietnam helps your argument how....?

And who would come here and fight 'in our backyard'???????????????? Iraq wouldn't. Iran wouldn't.

Germany was not a threat to Europe sure about that? History lesson 101, they teach this in HighSchool.

World War II (abbreviated WWII or WW2), or the Second World War, was a worldwide military conflict which lasted from 1939 to 1945. World War II was the amalgamation of two conflicts, one starting in Asia as the Second Sino-Japanese War and the other beginning in Europe with the Invasion of Poland by Germany. Germany and France had been struggling for dominance in Continental Europe for fifty years, and fought two previous wars, the Franco-Prussian War, and World War I. During the late 1930s Hitler abrogated the Treaty of Versailles, which had brought peace after WWI. He re-militarized the Rhineland, and increased the size of the German army, navy, and air force.

The British and French governments followed a policy of appeasement in order to avoid a new European war, out of concern for perceived war-weariness of their populations due to the huge death tolls of the first World War. This policy culminated in the Munich Agreement in 1938, in which the seemingly inevitable outbreak of the war was averted when the United Kingdom and France agreed to Germany's annexation and immediate occupation of the German-speaking regions of Czechoslovakia. In exchange for this, Hitler gave his word that Germany would make no further territorial claims in Europe. Chamberlain declared that the agreement represented "peace for our time." In March 1939, Germany invaded the rest of Czechoslovakia, effectively killing any notions of appeasement.

I can keep going if you need a History lesson.LOL

I know I wasn't going to post again but I had to let Randy Savage not know. Where did you go to school jezz. By the way Germany also started WWI.

um... Maybe I missed the memo, but to me that particular info points to germany, or more specifically, the Nazis led by Hitler, were a threat to Europe. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Honestly, thats what I got from it. Care to explain how that wasn't a threat to Europe.

Oh and BTW... wow, from confederate flags to WWII Germany. CA.com is a great place, lol.

You do realize, with this single line, you have destroyed any argument pertaining to your point of Germany and their threat towards Europe.

I seriously think you have something wrong with you. Seriously.

Czechoslovakia was a country in Central Europe that existed from October 1918, when it declared its independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, until 1992. By the way there is no longer a Czechoslovakia. It split into two different countries now the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Look at a map. Did you graduate highschool? Be honest now.
