THEY WERE REBELLIOUS STATES OF THE UNION. IT WAS A CIVIL WAR. THE CSA WASN’T RECOGNIZED BY ANY OTHER COUNTRY. IT WAS AN INSURRECTION AND, THUS, THEY WEREN’T A “FOREIGN COUNTRY.” ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDED? Flying the flag in any manner used by your state during the Civil War isn’t “technically” incorrect unless it’s…

Uh.. No dude.. they were not “ Kind of” another country. They were in fact... “Another country” and as such the status of being a foreign country that was held by the CSA was exactly the same as that of being... another country.

Was going to post the same exact thing, word for word.

Jesus fucking Christ. My failure to answer you question was because it was fucking absurd, yet another non sequitur, and, thus, wasn’t deserving of an answer. You’re comparing flags from our War of Independece to the Civil War. Of course it makes no sense to fly the Union Jack in D.C. Does the United States, or any…

Sorry buddy when you have NASCAR, Alabama, National state parks, the word’s largest retailer, the world’s largest online retailer, and the governor of the state of SC ALL discuss either removing the flag or take actions to stop selling it period then that makes your statement that “ Oh... well people will get over it…

The confederate flag IS NOT a flag of ANY state or federally recognized state or country.

SC won’t be next any time soon, nor the half dozen other states that have it incorporated into their flags. As I said, it takes a two-thirds majority in both SC chambers to remove it. By the time they finally vote on this in a couple months, I bet money that it’ll stay. The furvor will have died down and the PC Police…

State’s rights isn’t just some amorphous thing; it’s engrained in our country’s founding. Hence the Tenth Amendment. Go to law school, learn Constitutional Law, and get back with me afterwards.

Oh, well, if you say the state government and the federal government are the same thing, well, I guess I’m wrong. Unfortunately, you failed civics. States make up the nation and have their own rights (see the Tenth Amendment).

A state capitol and the nation’s capitol are not the same. You are confusing the federal government with state governments. Hell, that was part of the reason for the Cvil War: state’s rights/sovereignty. But you don’t understand this. And your state’s senators and congressmen do NOT also work in your state’s…

Circular, yes. But comparing it being flown on the White House versus a state capitol is a non sequitur. State (Southern) government vs. federal government... Not the same.

Probably because, the vast majority of times, the plane will be flying forward when it needs to engage the fan for STOVL. The door hinged in the back as it is undoubtedly helps force air down into the fan when it’s going forward.

As I understand, it’s being flown as, or near, a Confederate memorial for the Civil War. As such, it’s appropriate as a memorial flag, on state land or not.

“...but whatever.” The fuck? Finish your argument. Finishing with “whatever” is what a teenager does.

Yeah, over a Confederate memorial, I believe, like I said.

Isn’t it flying over a Confederate memorial in SC? If so, it would seem to have a proper place there. It’s not as if it’s flying high over the capitol dome.

Well, judging by the comments against you and stars people are giving the comments against you, I do represent “everyone.”

You have a good chance of getting killed in Chicago, period.

The hood vents are functional.

That was a fucking great comment. Actual LOL.
