Flying High: Confederate flag flown despite growing protests
While I would not fly the flag, I fully support the right of those who are proud of the flag to do so.

Me too. People in any state can fly it if they want to but, the conversation is about the states flying it. Which include all the citizens points of view living within them. Not about freedom of speech/expression.
I like it when people show their true colors.

Alabama flag company begins Confederate flag production in-store, over 1,000 sold on first day
I don't know if this is a backlash or a backlash against a backlash or what! :upset:
Although the flag is perceived by some as a symbol of hate following the church shooting, Alabama Flag and Banner will continue to sell it to their customers. "It's simply a historic flag," Kennedy commented. "It's not hate, it's history...and the people that are making it a racial issue are pushing an agenda."

Since walmart and others alike stopped selling them a door opens for manufacturing them in the USA instead of china .........I imagine.

Walmart sorry for ISIL cake after denying rebel design
This is pretty funny! I like what the guy says at the end about government and corporations chipping away at our freedoms.

Any flag is sure to offend somebody somewhere.
When you boil it all down Walmart is pretty sorry about everything.

Although walmart sucks. They have the right not to make it if they don't feel want to. The guy in the video is stupid he is trying to make some out to be something its not. Perhaps he works for FOX news. I'm glad he doesn't use the flag for hate but enough people have that...well that's just too bad.
