| Mason Dixie Line Abolished: Down with the Confederate Flag |
| Note to most southerners: The Civil War, despite what your grandfather keeps telling you, is over. You lost, the Union won, it's that simple. So why oh why do you continue to fly the Confederate Flag, this symbol of hatred and a reminder of a war that should have never been fought, over all of your Government buildings, schools, and sports stadiums? If the south was successful in seperating into it's own silly little nation, we would all be speaking German right now. The South could have never defended itself against invasion from another country, and I think history has proven how true that little comment is. And do you think the Japanese, the germans... even Cuba would have even considered not invading the U.S. from the south? Anyway, back to topic at hand. What sense of heritage do you preserve by flying that flag above a capital building? Do you think you're honoring your ancestors by remembering them with a redneck flag? I have an idea, Southern rednecks of the nation: How about instead of flying the flag to remember them, why don't you get off your sister and sell off some of those trucks on your front lawn? You can probably get some sort of monetary compensation for all of your hard work, which you could then use, in turn, to purchase yourself a nice-sized building and some relics of the past. You take the objects your grandparents gave you, put them on display in the building, and voila! A Museum (me-u-ze-om), which is a building people use to put things they want to remember in! How hard is that? And you can remember them by actually seeing things which remind you of them rather than the largest failure you've undertaken since someone gave birth to you in the first place. Constantly, we all hear that arguement that the Confederate Flag is not a symbol of hatred. Right... okay, and how would a Jewish person feel if someone was driving around in a Volkswagen with a Swastika hanging in the rear window? The driver could say they don't actually support the ideals, but their grandfather fought for the Germans in WWII, and it's a way of honoring them. Bull-honky, you honky! It's absolute and total trash to even consider that either logo does not depict hatred and oppression! My solution: Take all of the back-hill-pickup-truck-driving-honky-family-humping-weirdo-rednecks and lock them up in a large, prison-like facility, where we make them manufacture our sneakers and force-feed them Zima and "Banquet" TV dinners until they die. That way they can have their precious little flag, we can live without rascist slurs and under-educated morons deficating all over our public social system. And if understood the whole of three words in this rant, well, you might be a redneck. -Matt Rock |
