...and the horse she rode in on.
Whoever you spewed at
...and the horse she rode in on.
If that had been the US flag? See how stupid it is to blame a flag?
Thank dog the union forced the South to give up their desire to perpetuate legal human trafficking.
...
Y... You're completely ignoring the historical significance of the confederate battle flag.
Then I guess you ignore the reality that the slaves in the north had to be freed, by law, at 21. However rather than free the slaves they sold the slaves to the Caribbean. That's a little nugget of history your revisionist book forgot to tell you
Well then Florida needs new leaders. Simple as that
NO I am acknowledging the complete and utter stupidity of blaming a flag for what some nutjob did
Well, that's a nice straw man!!
Why? Because the current leaders read the requirements, noted that CSA =/= U.S.A. and therefore disqualified the candidates per the written requirements?
lol.
No one takes you seriously, girl.
You blew cred long, long ago.
Time for you to go look at you granpapa's Rebel pictures and pine about the old days.
Consult your dictionary because I do not believe the word straw or man is in the definition of the word truth. If you want to blame a flag then go ahead and be part of the problem
Apparently you are confused and can not follow what is being said. You may not even be reading what was said.It's hilarious how you just substitute terms to suit your purpose. You originally said, and I'm quoting you, "U.S. memorial" to "U.S. Civil war veterans" but when confronted with the idiocy of flying the flag of an enemy to the U.S. over a "U.S. Memorial" then it becomes what it is, which is a state sponsored memorial to "the Confederacy."
:doh Yes limited. That limited benefit still exists. It is the people do not.Well, not limited, but non-existent benefits.
And you have been repeatedly told that is an irrelevant argument as it does not change the status they were conferred.Not one dime of benefits was paid to any Confederate veteran
How cute, you think you are making an argument from authority. A logical fallacy.More, from a serious Civil War blogger and US Air Force Officer:
This is where his analysis fails.Some confederate heritage advocates will make the absurd claim that confederate veterans are American veterans by act of Congress. They aren’t. No act of Congress declared confederate veterans to be American veterans. They were declared to be Civil War veterans.
Thank you for proving that Floriduh needs new leaders
The only insult has been to the Civil War veterans by removing the Flag from the memorial.What an insult to US veterans who fought in that war for the Union.
The US considered the Southern soldiers US as well.To think Confederate traitors should be placed on the same footing as those who took up arms against the US, and killed hundreds of thousands of US Citizens --
Irrelevant as it was a legal practice then.in the cause to perpetuate human bondage.
Yes, that describes your post to a "T".Sickening.
...
A US Veteran is an American Veteran.
Saying otherwise like the idiot you provided is called lying.
I did in fact address said action in the post by saying it is a symbolic gesture to mend fences with the south. Thus relevant to the point.OK. But can you address the rest of my comment?
This is where his analysis fails.
The Civil War was the US Civil war.
A Civil War veteran is a US Civil War veteran.
They were all considered US citizens by the US. Making them US Veterans of the US Civil War.
A US Veteran is an American Veteran.
Saying otherwise like the idiot you provided is called lying.
Harumph! A serious Civil War blogger indeed. :doh iLOL :lamo
Hi. Apparently you know very little about civil war history.
The south seceded from the union. That makes southern soldiers traitors, not US Civil War veterans. They were not part of the US armed forces. They were part of a failed rebellion led by a bunch of racists.
The more you know!
They were still a part of the USA since secession is not legal.
And lookie here.

US Law that defines Veterans.
Let the US Military Officer I quoted earlier explain it further:
“American” means of or pertaining to the United States. When the confederate apologist liars claim Congress declared confederate veterans to be American veterans, that’s what they mean.
By act of Congress, an American [i.e., US] veteran is someone who was honorably discharged or killed in action from the UNITED STATES military. What you still don’t understand is that only for the purposes of awarding pensions to widows and children, and for nothing else, were confederate veterans designated veterans of the Civil War by Public Law 85-425.
That was only so widows and children can be paid money. You know, that government handout type thing you and the rest of the confederate apologists claim to be against. What the confederate apologist liars are doing is trying to inflate that into something it clearly is not.
“Section 432″ covers widows of Civil War veterans and “Section 433″ covers children of Civil War veterans. All Congress did, thanks to key southerners who were no doubt descendants of confederates, was expand the population of who could be paid the government handouts.
Confederates fought against American soldiers, just like the Taliban, just like the Japanese and Nazis in WWII, just like the Vietnamese and the North Koreans, just like the Germans in WWI. Just like all the enemies of America. They weren’t American soldiers."

lololol
Neo-Confederates are apologists and liars. By and large.
Fact.
deal with it.
Yes, the enemies of the US were viewed as insurrectionists.
