#1 Knuckleheads are generally benign.

#2 A lot of people through out the South wear the Confederate Uniform at certain events. The Confederate flag is displayed over the bars along the Ouichita River, while young black men on the other side of the river sling crack in the housing projects. Lake City Florida, near Pensacola has decedents of the confederates host the annual festival of the battle of Olustee.

I have seen them in central Texas.

And one thing I know of these people, if you cross them, you have created for yourself a no-go zone. A white college kid was assaulted by a group of African American students. A few weekends later a black rodeo clown did a great act duaring an intermission and when it was over, instead of the expected applause, there was defining silence from the thousands of the all white crowd in the arena stands. He went out the back of the arena and never came back. This is not going to end well for this nation.

Depends on what you trying to achieve - ever heard of divide and rule?

#4 Except, with the American left since the last elections it's more "If I can't have it, nobody should have it"

#5 ...When I attended the funeral services for the crew of the H.L. Hunley in Charleston in 2004, there were several hundred reenactors there, and as they left, most left marching in formation - and a lot of people were saluting the Confederate flag as it went by. I couldn't; it simply wasn't right. I had no problem standing respectfully for these men - they were behaving honorably and in a military fashion. But rendering honors? No.

Sounds like what we used to call a "dipshit." There's a difference between a dipshit and a knucklehead. I don't know what it is.

And clearly neither does this guy.

PS - FWIW, I've known a bunch of people who have attended PCC, and I am not surprised by the school's reaction. They demand good behavior, and honor to one's country. This clown spit in their face and apparently expected no ill effects.

#6 He saluted a statue. Not the flag.

#7 Lee for all the anger he attracts from the urban gentry flying their presumptuous virtue flag ignored the man brought an end the deadliest conflict in American history. He could have disbursed his army telling them to continue the fight by other means. By other means, one only has to look at the West and Bleeding Kansas and the Lawrence massacre. It would be Iraq, but over a hundred years earlier, raids and retribution. Quantrill's company included the James brothers, who'd use the lingering animosity of the locals to hide among in the post-Civil War endeavors. We avoided a really nasty large scale guerrilla war by his actions.
