    You Lie

    No butthurt, no hysteria from my side.

    The Repugs, having purged all moderates, and being taken over by Kock Bros/VRWC tea baggers, are pushing extremist agendas and blocking all progress and solutions for the 99%.

    Interesting analogy. You realize the swastika was an ancient religious symbol for good fortune that was co-opted by the Nazi party, right? Symbols can be symbols of whatever you want them to be.

    you realize that the swastika, adopted by the Superior Aryan Race, goes back well before Christ?

    Well aware.

    I came across the first picture and thought it relevant to the debate over the confederate flag. The Confederate flag has symbolized hate and still does. Find it a bit odd that people think its cool now just because someone came up with the "heritage not hate slogan"

    I think it's safe to say the nazis ruined the use of the swastika for advertising purposes for the foreseeable future.

    yeah wear that ancient religious symbol of good fortune on your person and see how that works out for you. Also hilarious you think this is some kind of revelation

    The confederate battle flag wasn't flown outside the SC state capital until 1961 in protest to desegregation. To claim it as a symbol of heritage and not racism is laughable tbqmfh.

    They can be whatever you want them to be... to you. But that doesn't mean you can make it mean something other than what it has historically represented to most everyone else.

    the flag represents, slavery, hate and failure. take it down from the state capitol and let the heritage crew continue to wear it on clothing and their vehicles.

    The flag represents those things to some people, to others it represents independence, pride, heritage etc. and not necessarily anything to do with slavery/racism. Although I do agree there is no reason for it to be flying over state property except to piss off black people.

    The independence and such that it represents is invariably bound up with the racist policies that existed when that flag was created.

    The flag itself is a symbol of horrific ideas, but removing the flag doesn't do away with those ideas, their intrinsic terribleness, or the pain that they have caused. I'm glad to see that there's a discussion about recognizing the bankruptcy of the flag as a symbol and the need to move away from it, but I'm hopeful that removal of the symbol won't be just another band-aid on a wound that still needs to be actually healed by changed minds and hearts.

    The idea has run its course, not just the flag.

    Does the same hold true for the American Flag?
