quote is for the, liberal Baron and all of his ilk

baron--dont know abut bashfull you sound real cute. you know, real cute And assuming someone with no brain attached to their mouth---you. . Maybe shut your big yap and learn something. I am assuming you can read. Read this. you will learn why we honor the flag. You libs bore me. You have no history, no heritage. you are, unfortunately an empty shell.

On February 23, 1890, the Daily Clarion Ledger of Jackson, Mississippi printed a speech of a Mississippi legislator. His name was John F. Harris from Washington County. He had the opportunity to vote for Senate Bill #25, which was a bill to erect a Confederate Monument on the Capitol Square in Jackson, Mississippi. The bill did pass, and Mr. Harris, who was sick, got out of his bed to give a speech before the Senate. The following is a portion of that speech.

"Mr. Speaker, I have arisen here in my place to offer a few words on the bill. I have come from a sick bed. Perhaps it was not prudent for me to come, but Sir, I could not rest quietly in my room without contributing a few remarks of my own.

"I am sorry to hear the speech of the young gentleman from Marshall County. I am sorry that any son of a soldier should go on record as opposed to the erection of a monument in honor of their brave dead.

"And Sir, I am convinced that had he seen what I saw at Seven Pines and in the seven days fighting around Richmond, the battle field covered with the mangled forms of those who fought for their country and for their country's honor, he would not have made that speech.

"When the news came that the South had been invaded, those men went forth to fight for what they believed. And they made no requests for monuments. But they died and their virtues should be remembered. Sir, I went with them. I too wore the Gray. The same color my master wore. We stayed four long years and if that war had gone on until now, I would have been there yet.

"I want to honor those brave men who died for their convictions. When my mother died, I was a boy. Who Sir, then acted the part of a mother to the orphaned slave boy but my old misses. Was she living now or could speak to me from those high realms where gathered the sainted dead, she would tell me to vote for this bill, and Sir, I shall vote for it

"I want it known to all the world that my vote is given in favor of a bill to erect a monument in honor of the Confederate dead." --John Harris

"I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death." --Thomas Paine

No! Maybe we should use the black fist symbol instead. That makes it all okay? I don't mind taking the Confederate Flag down. It means nothing relating to what we face today, but sit back and watch how long it means anything to the ones who shout so loudly now that it should come down or what a symbol of hate it is. The flag is not a real issue. It, simply, is something from which to garner contributions from sheep who have to have a cause for which to rally. So many are unable to form their own opinions. Prejudice doesn't have a color, and racism is bad, no matter who practices it. The black fist is no different than the stars and bars. Both symbolize supremacy. Both are wrong. Sheep, no matter the color or cause, will be led to slaughter, not because they are sheep, but because they are stupid.
