The symbol of loathsome losers

By Peter Bella, today at 10:50 pm

... No true American wants to be referred to as a loser. No citizen of a state wants to be referred to as a loser. Southern pride would be dashed if the "Stars and Bars" was continually referred to as the flag of losers.

By flying the Confederate flag they are celebrating being losers. Pathetic miserable loathsome losers.

Loser is a profane and vulgar word to real Americans. If you want to be a patriot, stop with the racist nonsense. Calling Southerners racist over their flag is like water off a duck. It just rolls off. They just waddle and quack on.

Call the the "Stars and Bars" wavers losers. See how fast they change their tune ...

When you wave that flag you say I associate with losers and am proud of it

The northerners in our unit laughed. Many of the white southerners got their backs up and were insulted. But it was hard for them to fight back because people were too busy laughing at them

Listen to the way they talk about Picket's "Charge" aka Picket's March.

The last day of the Battle of Gettysburg. A line of thousands of Confederate soldiers marched over open ground like they were in a dress parade into what amounted to a four deep continuous Union Army firing squad backed up by cannons loaded with small balls effectively making them gigantic shotguns.

I've heard people in the South act like they shed their blood and are OWED SOMETHING in return.
