Holy shite, you're right. Go to Google shopping and look up Confederate flag. Zero results. That's newsworthy in itself. So now Google is censoring shopping?

That's like saying "Let's take down the British Flag at the New Orleans Battlefield. It offends my dead ancestors that fought in the war."

This is blatant whitewashing of history.
There are still plaques commemorating the historic battles that took place at that location and explaining the history. No one is rewriting history textbooks or pretending like the civil war never happened or the confederacy never existed. The park service decided to remove the flags, and that decision is completely within their authority. The guy I originally replied to apparently took that action as a personal attack on any private citizen that chooses to display a confederate flag, which is ludicrous. You apparently think removing a flag is the same as censoring text books or something, and that's equally baseless.

I'm not sure why you think "public building" means "office building", but Fort Sumter is monument managed by the national park service, and it's completely within their authority to remove the flag, and them doing so is not at all an infringement on your rights or the rights of anyone else.

Yes I did, and there are several options on the first page of results. I don't know what term you googled, but if you're claiming that you couldn't find a place that sells confederate flags with minimal effort, that's BS.

They deleted it from Google shopping, is it that hard for you to understand? I'm smart enough to figure out where to buy a flag if I wanted one, that's not the issue .

Never said it wasn't without their authority, are you moving the goalposts now?

Yep. Just google it in the general search terms box. You'll have your options.

This is what you said
You can easily go on google and find plenty of places to purchase a confederate flag. Google Shopping is a store front, not just a search engine. Merchants have to pay google in order to list items for sale at Google Shopping, and I guess Google decided that with all the controversy, they didn't want to profit from sales of confederate flags. I don't know why that apparently offends you, but they certain aren't stopping you buying them or hindering you buying them.
You claim you are defending the right to fly the flag, and yet none of the things you're complaining about infringe on that right at all. They aren't even relevant. Is that hard for you to understand?

Stop deflecting, and trying to turn this conversation into the typical blacks are their own worst enemy convo.
That argument isn't even applicable here.

Idaho and Utah will join, although I'm not allowing Mormons in my warrior cult unless they denounce Kolob.

Actually the park service is a public entity paid for by our taxes, so Southerners should have a say in it. If this socialist country will let me quit paying income taxes, I will have no problem with it.

All I can do is laugh at how much you care. That's what is really intriguing and hilarious. Your post is oozing with so much emotion. 
Need a hug? Still waiting on that link though. You know your way around computers, shouldn't be so hard to find.

Sorry, missed this one. So a flag is a person now? Ok. You win.
Try finding that link when you're less butthurt.

Holy shite, how does this comparison keep getting made? The south was exercising their right to secede at the time, over what was a very controversial issue. Slavery was wrong, but to compare it to the holocaust is just stupid.
Nazi Germany was attempting to remove an entire race from existence. They killed 6 million Jews and waged war with the world over it.

I'm all for taking down the flag from the SC courthouse, but this is just ridiculous

The wingnuts that are against the confederate flag will not be happy until the complete history of this country has been rewritten to their version of liking which includes the removal of the founding fathers and the American flag.
