Confederate Flag Has Lots of Support

Having just gone through Memorial Day it is sickening to see the disrespect that liberals show to the Confederate flag, and to the approximately 300,000 southerners who died in the Civil War fighting to defend their home towns from invading Union soldiers.

Millions of people in the South, revere the memories of these brave soldiers, as much as any others on Memorial Day. The disrespect for the southern soldiers goes beyond the deceased soldiers themselves, and carries over to the people who fly the Confederate Flag, and attend Confederate memorial services.

This is just another example of the ignorant, self-righteous, crude buffoonery of the 1654640435734.png Left, in America.

I oppose honoring a rebellion against the United States and its constitutionally elected government on behalf of the slave power. More Americans, and more Southerners, see the flag negatively than see it positively.

In the end the Dems owned you. Today the stars and bars might as well be a swastika flag. Even the PBS guy (ken burns) who made his street cred with "Civil War" and melancholic fiddle music tossed the South under the bus. I was trying to make the case for the virtue of rebellion, history and collective memory until Ken Burns yapped it up. Now, who cares? Nobody did anything when it mattered and so yet again the lost cause but this time for good.

"doing anything about it" is present tense. 2023 is future tense.
What are they gonna do then? Republicans already control the legislative and executive branches of the Confederate states and then some. Where besides Alabama have Republicans done anything meaningful at the state level?

Time will tell. Many things appear to have been past and gone, and they later resurface with authority. Baseball fans might remember Roger Maris.

Prove it. Shouting doesn't make you answers any better either.
ha ha. my finger just happened to hit the capitals button.

One example is the Stop the Woke Act in Florida.

others are >>

monoclonal antibody treatments and vaccines widely available throughout our state. The Biden administration decided to severely cut the amount of Regeneron monoclonal antibodies being sent to Florida and other disfavored states. There was another very effective monoclonal antibody treatment called Sotrovimab made by GlaxoSmithKline that had recently received emergency use authorization. We went directly to GlaxoSmithKline, got Sotrovimab for Florida, and deployed it. It served as a bridge to get over the reductions, and fortunately, as a result of the success of early treatment, our infections are now so low that we have gone from thousands to hundreds of treatments per day.

Codified law on mail-in ballot drop boxes, mail-in ballot requests, and procedures for processing and counting mail ballots. It also defines law against ballot harvesting activity.

Passed a law permitting "any person to sue Big Tech companies for up to $100,000 in damages" for "deplatforming."

Passed sweeping Tax Cut returning $168M to taxpayers

$4.4 billion in funding for an "environment for the next generation."

Among the initiatives:

  • $980 million to restore the Everglades and protect Florida's water resources.
  • $550 million to increase the resiliency of Florida's coastal and inland communities.
  • $100 million for the Florida Forever program.
  • $51.7 million for infrastructure improvements and natural resource management at state parks.

None of that has anything to do with the topic of this thread. There's no reason to do that. With respect to the topic in your OP, you and I are on the same page. Where we differ is your belief that the Republican Party is the answer. At the state level, Republicans have and have had the power to do something about it now. With the exception of Alabama and a little less in Georgia, they've done nothing.
