Think that North Korean film. When you are told you can't have something...you want it even more.

GTS isn't really using it in the correct way.

Barbara Streisand tried to have pictures of her house suppressed, but it resulted in more media attention on the pictures, essentially having the opposite of the intended result.

Barbara Streisand is such a Leftist Loon, She always has to have Fresh Rose pedals in Her Toilet before using it each time. True Story.

Some are. But there aren't as many of them and they don't have the same influence with the media. They aren't the flavor of the day.

Lol... You don't know us very well.

The number of people disapproving isn't going to continue to increase. Most likely it will be quite the opposite as the knee-jerk reaction calms down.
Too bad there hasn't been a single honest discussion about why this guy murdered 9 people and how we as a country can try to limit the occurrence of events like this. It was silly enough to blame the gun for Sandy Hook, and just stupid to blame a flag in a picture for Charleston.

NASCAR, Walmart, Amazon, etc. didn't pull it because they are political correctness panzies. They did it be because they are a business and it didn't make $$$ sense to have the flag.

Bless your heart.

People who think a flag synonymous with treason and slavery is "heritage" then well.....people are getting dumber.

I think not. Your statement contradicts my point. Thus YOU are "exhibit A" and a likely racist

Thank God. Let them expose themselves for the people they really are.

Hmm...still hating on white people I see. I'd be lying if I said I was the least bit surprised.

Not really. Our education system is so awful most don't even know about brown v board of ed.

They are flying it to piss you off because you told them they can't and it's working

You still don't get it

This is it. Everyone has opinions about all of the other points of view, but the reason you are seeing them flying in droves in because you are trying to tell them what to do. You'll get that reaction every single time.

Cool, just keep it out of state houses, court houses, govt buildings, and publicly owned parks...

As long as we can apply the same to gay marriage.

Where did I mention white people?

I've seen a lot of flags today.

They had a big 'meetup' here today. I think it's pretty cool. They are finding a lot of support.

The pathetic squad in my mind is the one that thinks whipping away any semblance of our past will somehow make us more popular. Those folks seem to be primarily in Birmingham, but the whole state despises that dump so I can't say I'm surprised.

I bolded the answer to your question. Everyone knows what you meant by "they".

I never said "they " . That's the second time I get misquoted.
