TWODOGS, Why did you choose your new avatar?
 

Just wondering. Is it meant as an overt racist statement?:confused:

More of a statement about states rights I think. After all, that's what the war was about was is not? The racial overtones are just a bonus.:p

"I'm a good ol' Rebel, now that's just what I am."

Hey TD, up fer a little "night ridin"?

I'll grab a rope, you get the torch.:eek:

lol
reason i asked:

One of our neighbors was flying one last Easter when I had my mom, daughter and my daughter's mom in the car. My daughter was pretty freaked out.
I guess it's good that she learned while she was with me that people in the USA are not all the same and that racism through ignorance or intent does exist.

I think many folks just don't realize or think it through when they fly it.

I suppose that's one way to look at it...if you're a Rebelphobe.

I'm sure that Robert E. Lee, as an honorable gentleman who ever lived, would see it differently. I know that I do.

Just because the Stars and Bars was hijacked by a bunch of skinheads and racist criminals doesn't mean that it wasn't the banner that a lot of honorable people gave their lives and prosperity under. At least that's the consensus among a lot of folks in the South.

But they're busy scrubbing that part from the history books.

I don't disagree but it was the flag that was raised to stop the freeing of the black slaves. Hard to sweep that under a rug.

It may have some positive meaning for some but it is also a flag of slavery support.

Believe it or not, slavery was not the primary issue. Even Lincoln wasn't in favor of freeing the slaves, at least at the start.

Chas

Ya got a deal!!!

BTW, who well are you stocked on Navy Colts?

Chas

Nary a one, will a .45LC Vaquero work?
