JohnboyND7 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Pretty simple in my mind. You lost the war against the U.S. so get over it. Your flag shouldn't fly on government property. You are aware multiple US military bases are named after Confederate generals right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxperman8 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 You are aware multiple US military bases are named after Confederate generals right? i don't know for sure but I bet they don't fly the confederate battle flag at those bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlsiouxfan Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 You are aware multiple US military bases are named after Confederate generals right? Yes, and we should rename those as well. It's time we remember the Confederacy for what it was, a bunch of losers who took up arms against their own country for a stupid and outright evil cause. Germany doesn't have monuments to Nazi generals or fly the Nazi flag as part of their heritage and neither should we fly the Confederate flag in the U.S.. It's simple as that. If that hurts some feelings in the South and I guess apparently on this website then that's just tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emancipation didn't occur until halfway through the war. Comparing the southern states to Nazis is about the dumbest thing I've heard. One involved slavery which something like less than 20% of the population even owned. The other involved the systematic persecution and extermination of a race/religion and other people they don't like. Also a bit ironic that you are talking about Nazis... Do you have any problem sitting in that beautiful arena in Grand Forks? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your flag shouldn't fly on government property. I know I am going to get blasted for this, but here it goes anyway... So since the North won the war against the South, all memorials and flags for the South should be removed and bases renamed, etc.? Yet, having the Sioux logo/name and a statue of Sitting Bull sitting in front of the REA is okay? Didn't the American Indians lose too? To be clear, I am not against the Sioux name/logo. I am now hearing that there are folks who want to tear down the Jefferson Memorial because he was a slave holder and even more far-fetched, rename Washington DC, since Washington had slaves. They will probably do away with the phrase "Whistling Dixie", because it is racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Another Tuesday afternoon in Fargo-Moorhead. Another ...http://www.inforum.com/news/3781108-police-pursuing-suspects-romkey-park-neighborhood-moorhead It is also being reported that those individuals involved, arrested and being sought were in a dispute over the Confederate flag or was it Trump's comments on immigration.........but it had nothing to do with drugs and/or gangs. If only the flag would have been removed years ago these guys probably would be walking down a different road in their lives today! And in unrelated news the mother of the gentleman who died after he lit off fireworks on his HEAD is calling for stricter laws on fireworks use! You can't make this up people.

You can't make this up people. A guy in Billings died when a mortar went of and hit him in the neck, while looking in the mortar tube. I don't know why he was holding the tube at his hip to lunch mortars, but one didn't go off like it was suppose to then he looks in the tube then the Mortar goes off.

Oxbow6 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Maybe Fargo can become a sanctuary city so we can afford more protection to all the undesirables that are infiltrating the community. And on that note good to hear Obama and his administration being vocal on the Steinle killing...but at least the White House was lit up in rainbow colors a couple weeks ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 So...........the TN shootings by a Kuwaiti born terrorist are described as that strictly done by that of a "lone gunman" by Obama but again the SC shootings were not the result of a "lone gunman" but because of a flag which incites racism? Makes sense to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense to me. Both are largely the result of the fact that it's far too easy for any nutball to get access to a firearm but we can't even ever seriously consider that in this country. Roof was motivated by white supremacist racism and the shooter today was motivated by radical Islam. Both are evil forces and should be eradicated. We've invaded countries to fight radical Islam but taking down a flag that 72% of African Americans consider offensive, since it has been used by the Klan and other racist organizations, to instill fear and intimidation towards their community is apparently a step to far to combat white supremacist racism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A step too far? That is left to one's own opinion..........especially with the quick haste and action that was taken when still nothing and I mean nothing has been said from Obama on the SF killing by the multi-time deported illegal and now the TN shootings where there has not been one word as to condemning it for what it truly was....an act of terror in the name of radical Islam but just an act by a "lone gunman". Seems to be that some kind of want to pick and choose as to who, how and/or what they want the blame to go to in all of these tragic situations. "Lone gunman".....seriously? I have zero problem with the Confederate flag reaction...but then let's have the same swift condemning reaction to the Mexican shooter and Islamic radical by Mr. Obama. But we all know that hasn't and won't happen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagies Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Well, there are always society's reaction that needs to be taken into account. If you immediately go out and say this is an example of domestic radical Islamic terrorism you will suddenly have vigilantes all over the country on the watch for terror suspects and you can guess where that goes. If you start off with the more conservative "lone gunman" you keep the panic point low while the facts are still being gathered. I'm not sure what Obama's motives where here, but given what I know of the situation (albeit, not all that much) I would probably handle it this way. There's always time to declare it was an act of domestic terrorism. You can't step back from that if you were wrong, however. It just wouldn't work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is so much easier to just blame Obama for all of it...or blame him for everything.... Lol. Can't wait to read who's fault it is for EVERYTHING bad after the 2016 elections for Oxbow!
