Ive noticed a trend among supposed "scholars" this past week.
They've often brought up the issue of slavery when discussing the confederate flag. Don't misinterpret what im about to say because the only flag I have is a white one for surrender when my wifes mad enough.

But, to any "scholar" who actually believe that the civil war was because of slavery is an absolute idiot. The civil war was fought for one thing. MONEY. Lincoln knew letting the South succeed from the Union meant financial collapse. And rightfully so. Lincoln threw in the emancipation proclamation just for kicks.
I cant even watch the news or read online articles anymore without almost throwing up. The amount of whining is so far past normal its ludicrous. Does everyone in this country no longer have anything to do but cry about something? The fact that we seen a supreme court majority rule twice against the constitution this week tells me all I need to know about the direction were heading in. Ive always felt that this country was never that bad in terms of transparency and laws. Now, its as though its a new cry fest everyday over something else. It really does worry me that this country will rip itself apart once again. I wouldn't be surprised for a minute if someone took a leadership role to rebel against the government and whatever that thing is currently occupying the white house. Its all become one big joke, but its a joke that isn't funny.

As for flags, who cares, take them down. But also take down everything on government property. Don't even waste taxpayer money on a flag pole for the United States flag anymore, I don't care. Just remember though, the first time someone goes to a Martin Luther King statue and paints "white lives matter" on it, there is absolutely no reason to get upset when the same thing is happening to statues of confederate soldiers. Just because you think they were wrong, it doesn't matter, people are entitled to there opinions, and theyre both vandalism no matter which way you slice it.
