This is a fight for return to us our individual freedoms our right to be guided by our conscience and not the government
And there were those student who were forced to remove their American flag shirts because it "might offend" Mexican students on Cinco de Mayo.

Gracie makes an excellent point. If the flag is so offensive why has it been allowed to fly for so long without a problem? Once again we are over-reacting to a situation and had it not happened we wouldn't be discussing this right now.

So youre going after the Confederate flag because it represents hate and violence? So tell me when you plan on going after Rap music lyrics?

Maybe next we'll just get rid of all the state flags (all the states should share one common flag, after all they are all in the US), all the military branch flags (as they really irritate the other branches of the service and why do we need a different flag for each anyway since they are all fighting for the same cause) , and also those pesky school flags. (they so irritate their rival teams so they have to go).

This flag definitely must go as it insults the Seminole tribe right?
Not to the Seminole's.

Excellent points?
Perhaps the same can be said of these situations:
If not allowing women to vote was so offensive why was it not allowed for so long without a problem?
If slavery was so offensive why was it allowed for so long without a problem?

No. It represents people who declared war on the USA and lost. No different than the Swastika. Would you fly that on your flag pole?

This thread has veered far off the topic of the Marion County Flag decision and into political and name-calling territory.

This thread is now closed.
