Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation...."<br /><br />Think this is the flawed ideal the above poster is referencing. Also, the declaration does not go on to mention states rights, tariffs, or taxation.

Not one damned bit. <br /><br />The cries for further reparations, entitlements and 'take downs' will still resonate just as loudly, if not more loudly, now that the 'offended' will think they've gained traction. <br /><br />Regional arrogance will still reflect just as negatively on our state and the entire South as ever before. <br /><br />Companies taking a look at this state will still cross us off the list, not because of a flag, but because of untrained and ill-motivated citizens who should make up a workforce. <br /><br />Politics won't change but will still be chasing greenbacks, regardless of a flag. <br /><br />Whichever flag flies, there will still be thousands who are told they should be offended by it, and, therefore, will be.

You have earned the right to be heard and to be treated with great respect.<br /><br />As far as the current flag, my first memory of the confederate flag was one thrown on my family's front porch when I was around six years old. There were also threats that were claimed to be from the KKK. Apparently my father refused to be intimidated and "talked back" to a Caucasian man.

I'd give an incredibly tedious lecture about the T/O of a Marine Expeditionary Unit in 2001 but no one cares. 10 seconds of Google Fu and anyone reading will see you're full of shit.<br /><br />I responded referencing the Marines because the gentlemen to whom I was responding was implying that should one not have voted in 2001, they should STFU. He even said he was waiting for responses. I obliged. Apparently that hit a little too close to home.<br /><br />You don't know real Marines that don't bring up the USMC? Kinda hard when it was a quarter of my life. Hell, it comes up when I discuss recipes.<br /><br />Real Marines don't express emotions or react to political commentary? You ever read Smedly Butler's "War is a Racket"? I recall Mad Dog Mattis responding publicly about the current president. Most real Marines vouch for them as being real Marines.<br /><br />You're either a History Channel / Armchair warrior or you did the minimum enlistment in supply or motor transport for a non combat arms unit. Go put on Lee Greenwood's "Proud to be an American," wrap yourself in a flag and go belittle the clerk at Lowe's for not immediately applying your Hero/Veteran discount. Either way I have more time waiting for my parachute to open than you have in service.<br /><br />How's that for an emotional response?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-88072599588249190312020-06-23T18:30:32.550-05:002020-06-23T18:30:32.550-05:00Can the SEC be sued for extortion?Can the SEC be sued for extortion?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-86784203150721461662020-06-23T17:51:22.194-05:002020-06-23T17:51:22.194-05:00@3:58, most people know that slavery is wrong with...@3:58, most people know that slavery is wrong without having to look at a confederate flag or monument every day.
