I think you've got your terms mixed up. It is the Snowflake crowd who seem to think wiping out history will make things congruent with their way of thinking. It is the Snowflake crowd who no longer thinks the First Amendment, or any of our inalienable rights for that matter, are relevant. It is the Snowflake crowd who thinks if they make enough noise they won't have to hear ideas and ideals that are different to their way of thinking.

The worst war in our history should always serve as a reminder that we don't want to ever be so divided we are willing to kill each other. These people who identify as "Antifa" and many more like them seem hell bent on creating another civil war. It won't be over state rights vs federal rights. It won't be over slavery, commerce, etc. It will be over a movement to eradicate many of the traits that has made the United States the strongest nation on earth. Is that what you prescribe to?

To tell Southern people to "get over it, you lost"; forget your history and culture , is the most absurd thing I've hear lately.

Would you tell American Indians, "get over it, you lost". Stop the pow wows; forget the songs; forget the language; get rid of your silly feathers and buckskin. Is that what you would say?

Would you tell the Japanese, "get over it, you lost". Knock down those pagodas. Speak English because we won and you lost. Forget about your food and traditions. Is that what you would say?

My ancestors fought for the South. They did not own slaves. Ever. They were farmers. They were simple folk with a strong work ethic and a strong sense of honor. They were conscribed into service and did so with honor at great sacrifice. They died young and left widows and orphans behind.

These "snowflakes" of today have no respect. They don't respect history. They don't respect tradition. They don't respect individual rights. They are too lazy to take them time to understand issues. They are too ignorant and steadfast to listen to anything that doesn't conform to their way of thinking.

The people who want to knock down statues, disrespect a simple battle flag, denigrate a culture can't even offer up a logical reason, nor a compelling argument to justify their lunacy. They can't have a civil discussion. It's just noise.

In my opinion, those people can just go ***** themselves. Someone wants to burn my battle flag or my American flag we will have a come to Jesus meeting right there on the spot.
