Ignorant Bigots Raise Racist Flag Yet Again

nod as I said on another forum, that’s why I’ve always chuckled at the whole American “cheese-eating surrender monkeys” trope, because France has been the warmongering in-your-face gaping asshole of Europe for as long as there’s been a France. Or a Europe, for that matter. There isn’t a country on the continent, not one principality or city-state we haven’t declared war upon, invaded or at least marched troops through without asking permission first at some point. We’ve even committed grand theft *Pope *once.
We may talk all silly-like, but we’ve been self-important murder-happy bastards much longer than y’all colonials. We’ve become quite good at it.

But you’re only as good as your last war!

The French, they are a funny race.
They fight with their feet and fuck with their…

Texas is talking about succeeding again.

Succeed again? It didn’t even succeed the last time!

The Rebel Flag is not appropriate in the context of the US government, nor the context of the several states nor their subdivisions. It is racialized; it is divisive; it is associated with terrorism & violence. Due to its history of ties to violent politics, it seems even more inappropriate than if you put up a New Afrika flag or a Union Jack. Just don’t do it.

It’s the wrong flag anyway. As most history buffs know, just before the end of the war, they replaced the stars and bars with an all-white version.

I thought the French won their last war?

Sigh:::: As they say in France, I give up.

I don’t know what you call it, but I call becoming part of the USA again a success. Only thing better than that is not seceding in the first place.

Good call. I wonder if he’s going to order those with confederate-related tattoos to cover those up.

Wonder how long it will be before Trump reassigns him.

I posted that on a military retiree Facebook group, and then came all the “10th Amendment!” and “States Rights!” people. :rolleyes:

Your retirees have apparently not been informed that Constitutional rights have a different meaning when applied to the armed forces, especially when there are “overriding demands of discipline and duty.” (Link is to a PDF.)

I’m not slow getting the joke. I only just saw it.

The Stars and Bars were replaced in 1 May 1863. I wouldn’t call that “just before the end of the war”.

Dude. The “all-white flag” was the flag of surrender.
