In recordance to the Rebel Flag banning!

Ok, I believe, our Rebel flag should be re-instated, while the Isis flag, as well as all of the other flags, that are against our nation, be removed and banned from our soil(Since THESE flags have NOT been banned, but that of our own damn history! How pathetic is that, seriously!?)! I also believe, the Dukes of Hazzard show people, as well as the company, have the right to bring a major lawsuit up against those, who now have inadvertently banned them from being able to be on their show, that they loved and adored, among us fans, of the show(Most of the true LEGAL Americans, along with many people from other countries, who loved it for 1 reason or another.), and we all should stand-up, and be as 1, to get our historical flag of the North & South war returned to us, as a nation! If anyone wishes to agree, let it be known! I also would love to start up a petition to get it re-instated, since it has to do with our own history!

What a lot of these whiney politically correct critics can't seem to understand is the fact, it is not the FLAG that is racist or anything like that. It is how you use it.

During the civil war, MANY AMERICANS died while flying that flag. Ancestors of many citizens in this country today.

While it is true, many Southerners supported things like slavery, Not everyone did. And some of those that did, did not always beat the heck out of their slaves. While a bad time for mankind and the history of this country, that is just the way things were. Nothing Personal!

But then you also have the Georgia State Flag that was redesigned a few years ago, because it had the Confederate Flag in part of the design. GEORGIA was not filled with a bunch of racists at the time. They were all hard working Americans just like everyone of YOU.

The General Lee had a flag painted on the top of the car. But The Dukes were friendly to everyone and had also kinds of friends. Even bad boy Boss Hogg didn't agree with racism and killing. The Dukes always referred to the General Lee, as the "Fighting Spirit Of The South". That was it.

I have no trouble with anyone raising an issue with using such Questionable ICONS today. People should know better! But...

All You "Armchair Bloggers", who are nothing but a bunch of whiney critics... you need to focus of MODERN day issues that actually matter, and not some show that went of the air 30 YEARS AGO! or a Flag designed Decades ago! These things are a part of our history, whether you like it or not! Live With It, and learn to ignore it. Don't give it more "power" than it ever had! Also, quit trying to insult all those who died in this country, by trying to bury their memory!

In essence, I agree, that IS why it got banned, and ruined a lot of fun times with so many of us, and it was a small group, that whined and cried, that it was them, who were the slaves and blah, blah, blah, and it offended them, even though, it was our ancestors, who was a part of it all, not this generation, and these hypocritical jackasses need to learn, that if we are to learn from our pasts, we need to become stronger, and learn to not whine and cry over something, that will ruin something fun and nice for so many others, and if the "The Dukes Of Hazzards" show was so racist, then why were there several African American/Hispanic American/Asian American actors/actresses on that show, which became those who also loved the show!? It are these idiots, that want to have their "15 minutes of fame" *beep* and prolong it! Plain and simple!
