He can't say something like this then press congress to pass a law not to burn the American flag.

Banning the Confederate flag is freedom of speech too. Just the type of speech that loses the loyalty of most Patriots

If BLM and ANTIFA can display their Marxist battle flags I see no reason why sensible and tolerant Americans would care about some ol baws flying the CSA rebel flag. Right?

Here’s one of my faves.....




How mutha fricking bad arse cool is that? Long live Skynyrd!!

Of course it is....but does that include saying anything you like in a private business establishment? I can damn sure fly a flag on my place but I can't walk into your church and start doing a Richard Pryor routine.

Trump's right, if not too indifferent to some's sensibilities, given his job title?

I'm no fan of the Confederate flag, no fan of the Black Panther flag, the BLM flag, the Swastika flag,etc..

And if morons want to burn one that they own, they can for all I care..

They just don't have the right to do it on live tv airtime that MLB and a Network paid for, in Dodger Stadium(private property), during the middle of a sporting event.

That is what I most enjoyed about Rick Monday trolling those losers, more so than actually saving one flag. The display of manhood and patriotism to the naive ignorant Leftists..true conviction.

NASCAR has a right to rule over what transpires on their properties and at events that sell their brand.

It will.

After the South ceded that symbol to segregationists and the KKK in the early 60's, we lost ability to fly the CBF as symbol of the south or free speech.

There is nothing controversial about this statement to anyone with a brain

There goes the bad orange man again, just "lashing out" at every simple question he's asked and provides a straightforward answer to.

Why are so many Republicans fighting to fly a flag that represented Democrats? If the parties didn't switch ideologies(they did) then the Confederacy was majority Democrat.

I don’t mind him taking a stand but he needs to be more clear of why he is doing it.

If "Kill the Cops!" is condoned, I see no reason why Stars and Bars shouldn't be allowed to fly.
