Remove the Confederate flag? Not so fast...
Newton's 3rd law.
------------- Marion County reinstates Confederate flag 'We should honor our ancestors,' state official says Author: Erik Sandoval, Reporter, [email protected] Published On: Jul 07 2015 01:52:17 PM EDT Updated 1 h Marion County reinstates Confederate flag | News - Home OCALA, Fla. - Members of the Marion County Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to reinstate the Confederate flag atop a county building. The flag was immediately raised once again over the Fallen Officers Memorial on Southeast 25th Street in Ocala. Interim County Administrator Bill Kaufman and Marion County Board Chairman Stan McClain had decided to take down the Confederate flag at the end of June after South Carolina started discussing its laws surrounding the flag at its government centers. The discussion was prompted by the shooting deaths of nine people inside the Emmanel AME Church in Charleston. The vote was pushed by members of the public who turned out for Tuesday's county commission meeting to speak during a general public comments section. "I think it's a very good idea," said resident Buddy Proctor. "It should be put back. It's a Southern flag." "I don't see racism in the symbol of the Confederate flag," said Debbie Rotstein. "I see it was part of the Civil War, and it was part of our history." "We are all exposed to messages and symbols that may not connect for us, but we should all honor our ancestors and protect free expression," said state Rep. Dennis Baxley, (R-Ocala). |

History is facts of the past, can't be erased, must be remembered. The south will rise again.

I am a damn yankee, but I agree with keeping the flag flying.

I am starting a drive to remove all trains from our society.
They are an offensive symbol of Chinese slavery. |

And while we are at it, what about the pyramids,cotton fields, holocaust ,there are so many things in our history that if you think about it, today it would seem so very wrong to some, but it is history and should not be forgotten, by any type of removal, lest we forget

Slavery taught us that some people are just never going to be happy no matter how much time passes or how many free things you give them. There are holocaust survivors still alive and I don't hear any whining. There are NO slaves still alive, nor their first generation off spring....but bitch bitch bitch... |

It's odd that when banning the flag, the reason is that the symbol can inspire
violence but they don't like anyone picking on the many symbols of Islam (black Isis flag) all around us. |
