Lincoln Project Confederate Flag Ad

Powerful stuff

No patriotic American should brandish or proudly celebrate the iconography of a rebellion that resulted in tremendous devastation, the loss of more than 620,000 American lives, and the continued subjugation of Black America.

One of the memes reads, "slavery is a choice". I think that's intended to be offensive.

First they burned down our economy, impoverishing millions through the lie of #coronavirus virulence.
Now they support burning down entire cities.

This year has been an act of war against
@realDonaldTrump
and the people that voted for him.

The Democrats are truly evil.

The Civil War was about the CSAs claim that it was their right to own people as property.

"If slavery be a sin, it is not yours. It does not rest on your action for its origin, on your consent for its existence. It is a common law right to property in the service of man; its origin was Divine decree."
~Davis

"African slavery, as it exists in the United States, is a moral, a social, and a political blessing."
~Davis

"My own convictions as to negro slavery are strong. It has its evils and abuses...We recognize the negro as God and God's Book and God's Laws, in nature, tell us to recognize him - our inferior, fitted expressly for servitude...You cannot transform the negro into anything one-tenth as useful or as good as what slavery enables them to be."
~Davis


"[Slavery] was established by decree of Almighty God...it is sanctioned in the Bible, in both Testaments, from Genesis to Revelation...it has existed in all ages, has been found among the people of the highest civilization, and in nations of the highest proficiency in the arts."
~Davis

Maybe they have a file of Jews For Hitler too.

FFS! :doh


It was a battle flag of one group who was required to fight.

Again.
No side should get to dictate for all what the flag means.

That I followed that statement with images of those who hold the flag with a different meaning, would indicate I meant a personal meaning on an individual level.
So let me rephrase just for you.

Stop with the historical revisionism.

The flag doesn't have multiple meanings and the meaning isn't subjective. That flag is the symbol of the CSA who tried to separate from the union over their claimed right to own slaves. People who wave that rag support bigotry, racism, and treason.

More Leftist stupidity.

Besides you being wrong - Holy ****! What a stupid reply by you.
At no point have I revised history.
It literally was a battle flag of one group who were required to serve. If you want to even be more accurate it is a distortion of the battle flag becasue it is extended to fit a common flag size. The battle flag was later adopted to be included within the Confederate flag, but it was not the Confederate flag in and of itself.
Maybe you should educate yourself a little better.
Flags of the Confederate States of America


And clearly you do not understand that that battle flag means different things to different people. How in the world did you get so unlearned? Liberal indoctrination?
For some it signifies everything good about the South. For others it represents the good and bad, while for others it only represents bad.
You do not get to change that.



Here is some more info that should help you understand how a regular Confederate service member viewed the issue at the time.

She's stating her opinion. Others have a different opinion. As usual, the Liberals want to force their stupid ideas onto everyone else. It's all or nothing with the Left. Tyou all detest free and independent thought.

No, it's a fact that the Confederates got their ass beat trying to rebel against the United States of America. So, waving that piece of crap cloth is a sign of treason.

No, the Cinfederates seceded from The United States. Words have meanings, Calamity.

It's ironic though: you are still mad about the Civil War and hate Southerners, but you support and defend modern day rebels who are destroying the private property. Patriots my ass.

Rebel scum rebelled against the laws of the Union. Fact.

You're wrong. I hate the racist white mother****ers starting fires and causing mayhem.

I have been saying for 4 years now that the way to take down Trump, is to associate him again and again and again with the racists and bigots in his base and to run ad after ad of clips of him praising our nation's enemies. Trump has showered Kim Jong Un with praise on multiple occasions, and yet the Dems are too stupid to realize that Trump publically praising a guy that has tortured to death Americans is about as good of a campaign ad as you could ever have.

The campaign theme against Trump should be he is a despicable human being that is loved by racists, and that hates America. The Lincoln Project is dead on with this stuff, but think how effective it would be if the DNC with all of its resources were running ads like that? Think how effective it would be if every Democrat, from every level of government, had the kind of messaging discipline that Republicans have, and every time they got in front of a camera, they talked about how Trump is beloved by racists and he showers our country's enemies with praise.

Trump has given the Democrats everything they need to defeat him in a landslide if they would just get their heads out of their woke asses and hit him where it would actually hurt him.

The meaning/symbolism of the Confederate flag is “I want to own other people and don’t want that to change”.

 

[Jezcoe]

It is a free country and people are 100% free to fly the Confederate Battle flag if they want to. I would not want to change that for anything.

But if you do fly that flag please realize that it is 2020 and just don’t act surprised that people will think that you are a racist or an asshole or both for doing so.
