firemedic 7 #31 December 2, 2011 Here's a followup article. The university has said it's OK for him to display the flag from his dorm window. It makes me wonder if the decision would have been different had the student been white. http://www.islandpacket.com/2011/12/01/1882395/uscb-student-allowed-to-display.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

masterrig 1 #38 December 2, 2011 Quote Quote Quote It's a sign of pride, heritage, history. It's used by douche bags who do not know the real meaning, which ends up giving the ones who display it for it's intended purpose a bad name. Yeah, and a Swastika is just an Asian good luck charm. The fact is the meaning and impact of the Stars and Bars has been forever hijacked by the White Power/Neo Confederate/Klan movements, and no amount of revisionism will change this fact. Adopt a new symbol, Dixie. Sorry but Dixie is not PC anymore. Wait a minute! What about 'Dixie'... the song? I wish I were in 'the Southern United States of America' just doesn't work! It has a nice rig to it as a 'statement' but not in the lyrics! Sorry man but PC don't cut it anyhow! Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PiLFy 3 #42 December 2, 2011 QuoteYou've got my curiosity now. Exactly why did they origianlly name it The Confederate Air Force? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commemorative_Air_Force Name The original name, Confederate Air Force, started as a simple tongue in cheek type of joke, poking fun at their ragtag beginnings. As the collection of warbirds at Central Valley Airport in Mercedes, Texas started to grow, someone painted the name on the side of the original P-51 Mustang "Red Nose". The name stuck, and it grew to the point where the airport was renamed Rebel Field, all members were called "Colonels" (a tradition which still remains), and it led to the creation of a fictitious leader named Colonel Jethro E. Culpepper. There was even a humorous CAF twist put to the old AVG Flying Tigers WWII "blood chit" that read, “This foreign person has come to China to help in the war effort. Soldiers and civilians, one and all, should rescue, protect, and provide him medical care.” The CAF version seen on the backs of flight suits and flight jackets stated, "This is a CAF aviator. If found lost or unconscious, please hide him from Yankees, revive with mint julep and assist him in returning to friendly territory. CONFEDERATE AIR FORCE". In 2002 it changed its name to Commemorative Air Force after a vote of the membership. Many felt the name Confederate Air Force was confusing, did not accurately reflect the purpose of the organization, and was detrimental to fundraising efforts.[5] This name change was deemed by some fans to be a move of political correctness. The reason for the name change as stated by the organization was "Because the word "Confederate" is offensive to some." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neo-Confederates need to get over the fact that their beloved South LOST THE FUCKING WAR. Said with all the charm of a rapist who explains to his victim that the relationship has been consummated and that she should simply get over it. We freely joined the Union, and thereafter freely left. Fort Sumter was an eviction, not a military action. No goddamnyankees were killed in the attack and the only property damaged was Confederate. The goddamnyankees were told to pack up their possessions - to include arms - and go back to their own country. Our biggest mistake was failing to free the slaves at the outset. The institution of slavery would not, and could not, have lasted into the 20th Century, and removing the issue of slavery from the table at the outset would have negated its utility in Lincoln's gamesmanship. Lincoln, like most liberals, may have railed against the oppression of displaced Africans - but would have sooner died (he did, actually...) before having one live next door. He stated publicly, in no uncertain terms, that the coexistence of Africans and Europeans was not possible. Hearing a Yankee version of the conflict is about as distasteful as is the Afghan treatment of rape victims. Lashing the victim, calling her a whore and saying "look what you made me do!" is not a particularly endearing approach. BSBD, Winsor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
