Hey, my people fought for England, I'm American and have been a couple generation, but my folks fought for England, so lets put the brittish flag here. CSA is a different country, we usually don't have a memorial for other countries, just america. For example. We don't have a memorial for all the mexican troops at the alamo. they were a different country.
@comeonfolks The CSA was our gov't here in the South. We're sadly still occupied by that awful regime which calls itself the USA. But we are a different culture and nationa of people and need to be free. Honouring our flag is recognising our heritage and culture. Until we can one day throw off the yoke of the US gov't, we have to do what we can to hold on to our identity, heritage and values. If you don't like the culture of the South, perhaps you should move back to England or head up North.
@RedShirtArmy I've actually done research in the past, however long it's been since I wrote that comment, and I found out TONS of information. I have changed my opinion. I do think the Confederates should be honored. Apparently, according to my research, Confederate soldiers are considered American War Veterans which means, in my opinion, they deserve the same honor and respect.
@comeonfolks "America" is not a country. You are referring to the criminal regime known as the United States government, which invaded the South, killed my ancestors and burned down our towns, churches, farms, etc. I have no regard for the imperial regime you seem to love. It's my desire that it's gone from the pages of history as soon as possible.
I live in ringgold so whats your point, That court house is corrupt, its the good ol boy system. If you really want to talk I'd be glad to fill you in on whats goin on, and i can assure its all provable and all public record.
Had to block you for your profanity. However, I want to say that I am from here. The US conquered us. I'm not going anywhere. What's going to leave is the US gov't's tyranny. In fact, the entire US empire will fall pretty soon and I will be here to toast its demise. All empires die. And one as corrupt, debt-burdened and warmongering as this one won't last long. So here's to the US govenment's demise! Cheers.
Talk about a corrupt little town. They took away someones kids because they had a gay friend and tattoos and gave them over to the other parent who has a police record for abusing them and a history of serious mental disorders. The courthouse is full of judges and lawyers who are all friends and make the law. Only go there if you have enough money to buy off a judge. I thought confederate supporters stood for something righteous. I guess not.
sadly i did not, its a case going on in ringgold right now. Ringgolds dark little secret is that court house. Corruption, bias, and disregard for the law. I wouldnt raise children in this town for nothing, this town makes money off of taking children out of homes and making the parents pay to fight to get them back and they do not follow the law.
since you like to take everyones feelings into account why dont you give your land back to the indians who owned it before you? And i wasnt talking about your financial aid friend i was talking about your social status.
Of course you dont care you can afford not to. when things like this get out of hand your safe in your house up on the hill. But people down in the valley can end up hanging from trees. I respect your right to want to live in russia, but what really doesnt make sense is that even though to at least thousands of other people that flag is ofensive and hateful you can sit there and say no its not! no its not! If you dont like america go to canada its just a greyhound bus away.
LOL... I don't want to 'live in Russia'. I want to live on my own land and never have to deal with the group of criminals and killers called the US gov't. By the way, I am far from rich. I'm a grad student and am about as broke as you can get. And it's not that I 'don't like America'. America is not the US gov't. The US gov't is the group that occupies my State, kills dozens of people around the world on a daily basis and steals my money to do it with. I want to be free of DC on my own land.
the klan and neo nazis use the U.S flag because if they dont real patriots will come down and kick their collective behinds. They use the U.S flag because theyre cowards they dont respect the union they use the flag as a shield to keep good americans from cracking down on them. Thats why when the american flag is flown with only 13 stars on nonholidays it is also a symbol of hate. hate for the fact that everyone has equal rights now unlike the america of the original 13 colonies.
I don't know or care why the Klan or Nazis use whatever flag. But I do disagree with you on why most people use the 13 star flag. Many people use it to refer to a time when (excluding slavery, of course) there was far more liberty and property rights. For example, back then people couldn't vote themselves others people's money. It's also used as a symbol to protest the massive growth of the imperial-like DC gov't. I for one definitely hate the US gov't and never use any of its flags though.
Question why do the Klan and Nazis use the US flag? Oh yeah, it's pride... imperial pride. I guess they have that in common with the evil people who rule this empire.
I am very proud of my southern heritage and my dads family is from Mississippi where the state flag still has the Confederate battle flag in it as it has had for over 100 years and I believe everyone should have tie rite to fly their flag but no offence but georgia dint put the battle flag on their state flag until the civil rights movement was active so I can see why it would offend some
It is time for the South to stand up and reclaim is independence from the American Empire. The time for talking is over, voting for our freedom will not accomplish our goal.
people put WAAAAY too much importance inside of frivolous and temporary things that don't really matter at all...sure, it may be a part of your "ancestry" or "history", but if you don't see the flag, are you going to forget it? if you are, then your history and ancestry must not be that important to you.
Dear krimzondestine, Some people still are GREATFUL to their GREAT- and GREATGREATGRANDPARENTS. It is the blood that runs through in our veins, how could we ever forget about it? The flag belongs there next to yours. And it is there, more loud than ever. Becaue we are talking, you and me, and many others like us. Thank you.
I only wish I could have been there myself. God Bless those Southern men and women, especially Kirk Lyons and brother H.K. Edgerton for being there and for their fight to reclaim our symbols!
If The War For Southern Independence was treason, then the Revolutionary war was treason. The south fought for independence from a corrupt Union, the Union fought to force the South back in the corrupt Union. We face the same corrupt Union today. Our government is immoral and has lost it's Constitutional Authority to govern.
Secession is far from treason. A mob taking over a capital is treason. States holding constitutional delegations and voting (just as they had done to join the union in the first place) voted to exit it. If divorce is legal - if you can legally end a business deal - if you form a union in the first place - then certainly when the terms of that agreement are abused you have the right to leave it. Under the flag you defame 300,000 died for their homes + family. Your intolerance disgusts me.
i wish georgia could just succeed again and throw out all the transplanted yankees who dislike our culture. hopefully one day the south will be free again
couldnt agree with you more, im from NC and they are every damn where, im glad to see my fellow North carolinians(Hk edgerton and Kirk lyons)at least try to help georgia keep their flags up, God knows ours are long gone.
I'm trying to be as civil as possible, I would love nothing more than to have an intelligent debate about this topic, although my comments may have seemed somewhat harsh, please allow me to apologize if I offended you in anyway.
Now... When you say, "Your history" and "Your homeland" I'm given the idea that you don't consider yourself part of the United States, or do you even live in the United States?
And, before anyone even asks. I was born, raised, and currently live in Ringgold Georgia.
We're not here to debate with enemies of the Southron people. If you are genuinely curious and sympathetic that is one thing. If you just want to 'score points against us' then no one here is interested in that.
I have just read your ignorant comments and I would like to point out that in the United States today there are many people who set themselves apart in some way from their fellow Americans: "African-Americans" and other hyphenated terms too long to list here.
Somehow I doubt you would have any problem with people who did that, but you hate the fact that it is your fellow Southerners who do the same.
The difference is we don't set ourselves apart because we hate America.
You want to fly a "rebel" flag on your own property, that's alright with me. (I use the term rebel, because in actually that is exactly what the confederacy was, a rebellion against the United States of America. The rebellion is dead, and our state is once again part of the United States, our state has no need to fly such a flag anymore.
Now I ask anyone out there, please explain to me what the confederate flag really represents .
Secession is not 'rebellion.' Read your history and your constitution a bit more. Secession was an understood right of all free State prior to Lincoln's illegal invasion of our homeland.
The south was American before it was confederate; the Confederate states of America does not exist anymore. I do not understand why Southerners seem to take so much pride in being from the south; you're America first, and southern second.
I am in strong support of the restoration of the Confederate Flag. So to all you Georgains, take a stand and fight to restore that flag and even the state flag which had the Confederate flag incorporated into it but was changed 2001. Take a stand for what is right. I very much hope you succeed. Bless you all and for southern heritage.
I have one flying high and proud on top of my house and no damn idiot with no knowledge about Confederate history is gonna tell me to put it down. It will fly till I'm dead, then my son will fly it, my grandson will and so will my greatgrandson.
great video. bring that confederate flag back up like it deserves to be think i splet that wrong. but any way great video. and bring that flag back up. god bless and free our southern homeland.
I am in the process of moving back to a Northern, urban, Blue State place with high taxes, very high gang crime rates, worst of all - bitter, no fun Northern Feminist career women..
But, we have good museums and good plublic transportation and the city buildings are beautiful.
Amen and Amen,,,,,,thanks to the brothers and sisters who made the effort to go to Ringgold, thanks Red Shirt for sharin' this with those of us not able to attend.....let this be a wake-up call....we have let them take down and take down far too much as it is. We know that the history of that terrible war 61 -65 was written in BLUE ink. We also know they didn't get it right. I wont see it in my lifetime, but I pray the truth comes out at least in my grandsugars lifetime
Those who do not wish to see our Confederate Flags are the ones who need to leave. They must not tell us who we are and they must not win.
