Spent my teens in ATL in the 70s.
Backassward, racist, and segregated still.
Coincidentally, I went to high school there with John Schneider (Bo Duke).
Bright, talented guy. About as far from âCooterâ as you could get.

¨Jones pointed out that "slavery was the national sin not the Southern sinâŚ"¨
Heâs right about that. The difference is that one side wanted to end the sin, while the other wanted to expand the sin. And for that, the other side (i.e., Confederates, or the Sons thereof) should be shamed in perpetuity.

Oh, geez, how fucking hard is it to understand that that flag is to a black person precisely as the swastika is to a Jew? You either acknowledge that indisputable fact, and the pain your fellow citizens endure at the sight of that flag, or youâre being willfully obtuse. Or somewhere deep down (or not so deep down, depending on the person), you want to inflict that pain. Curse the Hayes administration for pulling the plug on Reconstruction.

Nice to see Mr. Jones demonstrate that not everyone associated with The Dukes of Hazzard is a fucking genius.

Letâs put slavery aside for just a moment. The stars and bars was the symbol for an armed insurrection against the United States. I donât like, but donât mind, individuals displaying it, but I do have a problem with any level of our government officially sanctioning the use of this flag.

Proof that no one political party has the monopoly on stupidity.

Somehow in all this the argument seems to lose sight of the fact that the confederate flag was the symbol of a treasonous revolt against the United States. The Confederates lost, and should appropriately be viewed as traitors, not heroes of any sort.

âIt was the flag of the soldiers not the government anyway,â
Right, so it was the flag of those traitors actively engaged in the killing of loyal American soldiers, which suddenly makes it something worth honoring how?

Weâre on the same page. After the Articles of Confederation proved unworkable, the seceding states ratified a unifed national government in which Federal law was supreme - and they were over-represented - and when the tide of history turned against âthe peculiar institutionâ they champoined, the illegally left that government and took up arms against it - to defend the right to own people as property. Thereâs nothing noble or heroic in that.

If they want to put that Loser Flag on the back of their car they shouldnât be surprised if their car gets keyed while theyâre in the restaurant.

The Southern states breaking away from the Union was an act of Treason â something present-day conservatives seem to think is just fine, too. The Confederate Flag is a symbol of that act of Treason. You donât put it on your license plate. If they must, they can get a license plate holder saying âSons of the Confederacyâ and plaster their cars with confederate flags, since they are not American Patriots, anyway.

Can anyone imagine the shit storm if a license plate honoring The Weather Underground or The Black Panther Party was introduced? HOLY CRAP.
