Did that one hit too close to home?

Its me being able to look past all the racism thrown on over a century of history

Look out guys! I should be ashamed to be human, like Altimaomegaconic is!

The day I do anything without conviction is the day I'm dead. I pity your sad existence if it's otherwise for you.

That you associate feelings with blind anything when you so blindly cling to your facile arguments is beyond all things irony.


"LOL."

No, you don't call anyone anything, you just imply it and speak in generalities, like we're all too stupid to realize you're insulting us.

You have all the subtlety of a teenager who thinks he's clever and edgy for wearing a leather jacket and reading Catcher in the Rye.

Squeal all you want about it, you're not going to make me feel bad by calling me names and hardly going to shame me into ceasing to call it as I see it.

I don't always claim I'm a civil war historian only a video game forum !

Can I do a video where I walk for 8 hours in NYC pretending to be black ? Like that one chick that got cat called !

Your motivations are quite transparent.

I'll look past racism when the country stops being racist.

Your solution, burn it, bury it , ban it. Lets not learn from it and try to move on. Hell, no that would be way to much to ask.

You can't move on...if you're still waving it around...

Dear Mother you're such a hypocrite.

But we'll just go back and forth all day with that accusation since no one is going to budge an inch!

So how about those abortions?

Alright boys and girls.
The south seceded from the north since 6 southern states didn't get to vote in the Abraham Lincoln election which he won with a mere 40% popular vote, of all states that did vote. None of the southern states that did vote gave electoral votes to Lincoln .

That was the final straw to a series of events. The south being taxed more than the north for imports and denied free trade with overseas country's because the north imposed heavy tariffs. "Interesting that the people commenting against the confederate flag want free trade and oppose tariffs" Then we get into nullification and states rights. The south was concerned that the industrialization "that ironically it brought to fruition with the cotton industry" and rapid growth of the north "helped by heavy tariffs" would limit their voice, which it did.

The south knew its army was heavily outnumbered, its manufacturing wasn't even close to the north, and it had a quarter of the railroad miles. The north was producing all the firearms before the war even started.

The Confederate Battle Flag is the ultimate rally cry for the insubmissive rebel that wants his voice to be heard.

Second only to Old Glory.

Please point out how I am a hypocrite.

If you want to fly Confederate flags on your property, I don't care.

Which confederate battle flag? There were 4?

we've been over this, there is only one confederate battle flag, it's the same one the french use.

A decision is expected by the Supreme Court soon on the fate of a key feature of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. If the justices vote in favor of King v. Burwell, it could mean the loss of subsidies for millions of Americans, making their health insurance no longer affordable.

Congress passed the law in 2010, and it required that everyone buy health insurance. Each state was to set up its own insurance exchange, or a health care marketplace, where residents could look at various plans available and select the one that worked best for them. Since plans were still expensive, the law also allowed for the government to offer subsidies to people who qualified.

Thirty-four states opted not to set up their own marketplaces. This meant that the states defaulted to the federal marketplace instead. And subsidies have still been provided to those residents.

This is where the Supreme Court stepped in.

This case against Obamacare comes down to the actual language of the law. It’s being challenged because of a section that details the subsidies as available with policies provided through health insurance “exchanges established by the state.” Opponents say this language means the federal subsidies do not apply to residents in states using the federal marketplace. On the other side of the debate, proponents argue that these subsidies are covered by the law as it also says that when a state does not set up its own marketplace, the federal government will “establish and operate such exchange.”

The final decision is expected at the end of June and could affect an estimated 6.4 million people who need the subsidies to afford insurance in those 34 states. This is the second time that Obamacare has faced the Supreme Court. In 2012, the individual mandate – the requirement that everyone buy insurance – was challenged, but the justices ruled 5-4 that the mandate was constitutional.

So whether Obamacare pulls through or not, at least after watching this video you can say, “Now I get it.”

Those AmericansChinese sweatshop workers who stitch Confederate flags are assured work for months to come!

Why can't I hang my swastika flag off the front porch? It's a symbol of good luck :((((
