I do NOT see racism in the flag. But I could never fly that flag because liberals would think I'm a racist. Flying that flag might offend many people and I don't want to offend anyone. I don't hate black people. I think slavery was an abomination.

But just because conservatives disagree with liberals, liberals go to the extreme in their accusations. They look at it that you have to march 100% in lockstep with the left or else you're a racist, sexist, Nazi, fascist or whatever.

There is an entirely different world out there that the left refuses to admit is there. A world where people are treated, regardless of whatever feature that distinguishes them from other people, as equals. White conservatives do not think they are superior to all other races. Only white liberals think that way.

Speaking of white liberals, I just watched a montage video that compiled a whole bunch of comments from Democrat politicians who were defending illegal immigration by all saying, "Who's going to pick your crops" or "How are you going to get your food" and other things like that. It was insane because I imagine white Democrats right after the slaves were freed saying exactly the same thing. Even Hispanic Democrats like AOC was in this montage saying that illegal immigrants are only good for one thing, picking crops (and voting Democrat, well, they didn't say that but that is the real reason why Dems want to open the border).

And is that all they think illegal immigrants are good for??? Seriously? I've worked with people of Mexican ancestry who were brilliant. Much smarter than I am. I'm a software developer and I've worked with people from a lot of different nationalities that were at genius level when it comes to programming. How could I ever think I was superior to them? It is just illogical. I was just fortunate enough to work along side them and learn from them.

Democrats only want illegal here to pick crops (and vote Democrat). It's low wage slavery. There's just no other way to look at it.

Those were Democrats paid to show up with Confederate Battle flags. That's why you have pictures of them.

You don't see them in the crowd that entered the Capitol Bldg. You see them inside and outside but never going into the building with the rest of the protesters. In fact the primarily just all stick together rather than dispersed among the protesters.

I wonder why that happened. And why is it they show up in all of the pictures the left publishes but when you watch security camera video you don't see those guys.

No, those we're not Democrats. How would you know anyways? Do you know them personally or something?

Where are you from that you're not aware that the Confederate - 'scuse, the Tennessee Rebel Battle Flag of Tennessee is still in widespread use to this very day, and not just in Tennessee where it was used for an entire 2 to 3 months during the Civil War, but to this very day in 2025 in states throughout the South that are not Tennessee. In fact it's actually used throughout the United States of America by an assortment of Reich Wing radicals.

I guess they never got the memo that that Tennessee Rebel Battle flag was actually just a short lived flag for the Tennessee rebels during battle. But hey, consider the source, not like education is of prime value in that area.

I used to waste my time by going to Tea Party events back when Obama was shoveling tax dollars down the toilet. By wasting my time, I think all political protests are just a waste of time. It only makes the people who go to those events feel better, it makes them think that they are actually doing something. They never change anything. Politicians pay no attention to them.

Anyway... I never once saw a confederate flag. Never. We were warned because at some events in other parts of the country the media and presumably paid actors, with confederate flags or Nazi t-shirts, showed up at the same time and left at the same time. The media interviewed or photographed the actors and then they all left.

I saw cell phone video of some Tea Party people confronting one of those actors. They were yelling at them to leave.

We were told that when possible to bring cameras so we could document this if it happened at the event we happen to be at.

It is just a tactic of the left to perpetuate the narrative. Considering how the entire Jan 6th riot was orchestrated by the left, those people with confederate flags had to be plants.

And because you and the rest of the left are so eager to believe that you just accept it as true.

Ask yourself, why would someone bring a confederate flag to something like that? Were they trying to re-fight the Civil War? Were they bringing the flag to show they were rebels? No. The only purpose of that flag was so that Democrats have their talking points. They can point to the flag and say "see, we were right all along. They're racists." That is the ONLY reason why you would see that flag at any event where conservatives were involved and it wouldn't be the conservatives who brought the flag.

The Confederate battle flag means nothing to the conservative movement.

"AdamSmithsInvisibleHand

Did it hurt when you stretched truth so hard to make it fit your narrative?"

No, why should it? It's a flag. A flag of seditious losers. It is no more painful than the English flag, or the French flag, or the Soviet flag, or the Russian flag, or any flag for that matter. Flags don't hurt. They're cloth. Or paper. Or plastic.

However, it does seem a tad bit glaringingly apparent that it has hurt the feelings of those making a fuss about it an entire day later after a simple image of someone walking with a Confederate flag in the Capital Building was posted. I mean, racism against the flag? Seriously? How sad. Perhaps depictions of the Confederate flag utilized by those who are not Confederate/Southerners/Red Staters/Republicans will be turned into a hate crime by everybody's most celebrated New Yorker.

No he's not.

"At least Modda knows that that flag is the Confederate Battle Flag and not a conservative flag."

No, I do not know that the Tennessee Rebel Confederate Battle something something flag which was only used for 2.3 months and was never the Confederate flag because the Confederate flag had slightly narrower white stripes on it or some innocuous detail like that is not the go-to symbol of Southerners, Red States, Republicans, seditious traitors, the KKK and other assorted blight supremacist social clubs who still have high hopes for bringing slavery back in fulfillment of their raison d'être their conservative cause.

Do you find it strange that whenever conservatives do any type of protest then at the same time the media shows up so do people with a Confederate flag. Then when the media takes pictures of the guys with the Confederate flags somehow have disappeared?

I'm not sure why those two thing seem to always occur at the same time. It's almost as of it was planned. It's weird, isn't it?

You don't see racism in the flag, yet you brought up racism in the flag. And you keep going off in various tangents involving racism which keep harping on racial aspects of people as if reducing them to nothing but racial lumps is all that matters because it's not racist to view people simply according to race.

Not sure how many of these upper class higher educated elitist liberal urban Democrats up North own family farms where illegal aliens do the work because family is too busy on their Xbox and take you selfies at Walmart to bother having to do anything they will crack a sweat, but I'll take your word for it.

1 up, 4d
You just did give it a political side when you call it "the flag of racism". Only Democrats believe that the Confederate Battle flag is the flag of racism. No one else thinks that.

But then Democrats are obsessed with race, probably to hide their own guilt for being such colossal racists. And then trying to blame their racism on everyone else.

You're a prime example of what I was saying to Modda. At least Modda knows that that flag is the Confederate Battle Flag and not a conservative flag.

You do know that nearly 100% of the southern states were Democrats and Democrats supported slavery. So if that flag is going to be assigned a political side then it would have to be a Democrat flag.

For many people from the south (both white and black) the Confederate Battle flag is a symbol of pride.

Back in the 70's I used to see that flag on pick up trucks and biker jackets to symbolize that they were rebels. I grew up in So. California, not the South. California is where I used to see that flag on pick up truck and biker jackets.

You don't see that anymore because the Democrats have made the flag a symbol of racism and will accept no other definition for that flag. It's just a flag. It means lots of things to lots of different people.

Modda? How many times do I have to tell you that you're wrong on everything before it will ever sink in? You know there was no insurrection. You know that it was a political ploy created by Biden, Pelosi and the rest of the Deep State to try to get Trump branded as leading an insurrection. It was blindingly obvious when Trump gave a speech that day calling for peace but the media didn't show it and told you that he incited an insurrection.

You know that the FBI shot rubber bullets and flash grenades into a crowd of peaceful protestors and the FBI operatives directed the panicking crowd into the Capitol Building.

You know the entire event was a political stunt created and orchestrated by the left.

Nice cherry picking you videos. The trouble is I saw the entire series of videos from multiple sources, including the exterior security cameras and the police body cams.

Yes, there was violence from the protester but if you had a rubber bullet blast a whole through your cheek and into your mouth just for the crime of minding your own business, I would think you would be a little bit angry. Maybe even angry enough to fight back. After it was the FBI and Capitol police that started the whole thing.

The Tuck's 7:43 min is not the entire series of video.

And since you missed these and such, that would be fair indication that you did not see the entire videos of anything at all. I mean, the mostly peaceful protesting of those upstanding citizens simply seeking a tour guide in celebration of Biden's certification on that day of love must have made for some entertaining hundreds of hours of video tape, but that you somehow managed to miss the more exciting tidbits leads one to wonder,,,

You think I just saw a 7:43 minute video? The videos I watched covered the entire event in a timeline. It was well over an hour long. Yours are cherry picked to show just what fits the narrative. Yes there was bad things that some of the protesters did. The most egregious part was what the government did to the protestors. They intentionally incited a riot.

In the Capitol police's body cam videos you heard the captain giving orders to start firing on the crowd. You heard him call for more rounds. At the same time they showed what the crowd was doing at that time. They were just standing there. No one had crossed over a barricade, no one had punched a police officer and no one was inside the Capitol building, they weren't even making an attempt to enter the Capitol building. They weren't doing anything. Then the police where given the order to open fire on the crowd.

2 people in the crowd died. Although none of them died as a result of any injury from the rubber bullets or flash grenades. It appeared they had heart attacks which were probably a result of seeing what our government was doing to innocent people. Another person died when they tried to leave the building and was trampled by the crowd. Then Ashlii Babbett was shot and killed by a cowardly cop who was hiding behind a door entry and poked his head out and fired and then retreated. No one in that crowd was armed and the police knew that.

If it wasn't for the Capitol police firing on the crowd and the FBI operatives who was directing the crowd into the Capitol building. In one video it even showed a police officer working with someone else to remove a barricade. Other videos show the crowd pushing the barricades away.

I wish I had a link to give you where you could see these videos but I think I remember that you don't go to links that people post.

Your selective images are designed to make it look like what happened is the opposite of what actually happened. I do not make excuses for the bad behavior of anyone of the protestors but there were extenuating circumstances that your videos just do not show.

It was all political theater orchestrated by the Democrats. That's why Pres Autopen pardoned the Jan 6th committee. He knew that there was a possibility that they would be prosecuted and found guilty of conspiracy and other charges. Trump has formed a new Jan 6th committee to expose the left's crimes.

You saw the whole day. In a 1 hour video. Okay.

Three people died of a stroke and heart attacks. That day. While getting crushed by the crowd. Hey, it happens.

Every Saint Patrick's Day Parade and Thanksgiving Day Parade here in New York, 3, 4 even 5 people die easy. Each time. Guess that's what happens when people get into crowds. Same with Madison Square Garden, be it a Knicks game or Kiss's annual last reunion tour retirement show ever this year, a handful of people die.

There was even those who claimed that Rosanne Boyland was beaten by cops, and it could be seen on video. But once everybody saw that said video shows that she was basically pummeled and crushed by the crowd, that was scenario was dumped in favor of her having a heart attack while being high on drugs while fat. We don't hear her name, do we? Nor Kevin Greeson and Benjamin Phillips. They just don't have the sex appeal that Ashley Babbitt does.

Sicknik and all the other cops who died after, what do the boys in blue matter when they're really Pelosi something somethings?

Yes, it was a mostly peaceful protest with trailer park tourists who were simply misunderstood. They've never seen big buildings like that and simply got a little bewildered and confused and thus flailed about in a manner some erroneously found to be threatening when they were only hyperventilating and looking for a place to seek refuge from the immensity of a crowd that exceeds population of their home state. Thank goodness for Autopen to allow all 1600 terrorists free.

The actual event lasted less than an hour.

I imagine 1 or 2 protesters live in trailer parks but most of them are middle class worker with a car payment or 2 and a mortgage on a house. But I understand that you think it's more fun to lampoon them.

Fortunately, the ones who were arrested or detained indefinitely for no reason at all, have been released and are free. Unfortunately they had to spend 4 years in prison just so the Democrats could create and try to maintain their false narrative.

Trump's also going after Obama, Hillary and others for the Russian collusion hoax that was the foundation for Trump's 1st impeachment.

Hopefully you've let go of that bit of hogwash. It's been shown conclusively that it was fabricated and Hillary was the one who had dealings with Russia.

Don't get you started on what? Conservatives? Liberals? What is this, dibs on which half gets more miffed?

The list was released when Biden was president. January 2024, the Epstein Flight Log List. No campaign promise required.

That's desperation. Trump, Clinton, they were buddies with Epstein, very close.
Did Biden even know who he was? I didn't know Epstein took charity cases. I reckon he had a philanthropic side then.

Don't get me started on how Pam Bondi is handling the Epstein files. First they were on her desk then they never existed. What???? What's going on here? There must be some really powerful people's names on that list and party affiliation is not the issue because both are involved.

One thing I am sure of is Trump was never one of Epstein's clients. He threw the scumbag out of Mar-A-Lago. Trump may be in the files on Epstein but not as a client. Unless the Democrats added him to the client list, which would not shock me in the least. Democrats have tried everything they can think of, including assassination, to get rid of Trump. Putting his name on that list would be minor compared to everything else they tried against him.

I saw a copy of the list that was release under Biden. No names were on it. It was meaningless.

I'm pretty sure it lasted a little longer than an hour. Slightly. In fact I exaggerate, they weren't home in time for granny to warm up their Hot Pockets, they got home a little later that day.

Don't get me started on the Epstein list. I think conservatives are more pissed than liberals. That list could've been released when Biden was president. I can't imagine why Biden wouldn't release that list. He pardoned his entire family so they were on the list nothing would happen to them.

Of course not. All one ever has to do with the left is ask them for specifics, which results in crash and burn.

Because usually all they can do is regurgitate DNC talking points that their sycophants in the media have pounded into the sheeples' heads. There's no actual knowledge there, from which to draw.
