I do not agree with everything you say but u do have the right to say it. I am a fellow southerner and i call myself both an American and a Southerner. I fly both the American and Dixie flags proudly.

@danthemanschmidt There are many American flags. The Dixie flag is one of them. There is one main Federal Government flag though - a symbol of our subjugation here in the South. I'm glad you are proud of your heritage. It's time all Southerners stood together for our culture and independence.

You are a jerk and a sicko and belong behind federal prison bars!

[RedShirtArmy]

@mtgal47, That's the typical pro-Federal attitude of liberty-hating people - if they disagree with you they want you put in prison or killed with some cruise missle. Such are the evil ways of the Empire.

im flying two flags this july 4th weekend as i always do, the Confederate battle flag and the Kentucky state flag. the united states to me is at an all time low, especially with the new communist Obama regime.

The US really hasn' existed since 1861. There is no such thing as forced Unity. Alaska, Hawaii, and the south aren't united. When you have Governors talking about secession you don't have a "united" states. The old Union is gone. And I agree red the Empire is too large. There are too many diverse people and cultures living here. We all need to be able to govern ourselves properly.

SOUTH CAROLINA! We are true southerners in Sc first to succeed from the god awful north!

Most people, even Southerners aren't aware that Sherman's first march of destruction occurred in Mississippi. He cut a 50 mile wide path of destruction from Vicksburg to my home town of Meridian. He went so far as to remark that the hamlet of Meridian would never again exist. It's infrastructure was up again in less than two months. In my house, the 4th symbolizes the fall of Vicksburg and the eventual capitulation of my state. January 9th is my Independence Day.
