Thanks for the replies. I can't say I've seen this flag before and if I had done I wouldn't know what it was for or even which country it represented. Thanks again, God bless.

Two wrongs don't make a right. You violate natural law when you exercise government force on people who have committed no normatively criminal act by depriving them of their inalienable human rights (in this case for no other reason than they do not agree with YOU).
No one should tolerate your tyrant desire to use the government as an agent of force to violate natural law in depriving people of their human right to free speech and persecuting them when they do. It's not prudent to engage in fascism, totalitarianism, authoritarianism, and tyranny on people who but exercise inalienable human rights under natural law.
Now when people commit normatively immoral acts of criminality, they should be held accountable by a system of justice. But if they simply disagree with you and are exercising basic inalienable human rights such as freedom of speech, then you do not have a moral right to deprive them of their liberties for doing so.
You can; however, work to create a moral nation in which moral families raise children whom they both model and educate moral values to.
But sending law enforcement throughout the nation to deprive everyone who disagrees with you of their human rights is immoral and history shows that ultimately tyranny fails making it self-defeating.

I have him on ignore but I made the mistake of actually reading one of his posts and was it ever a doozy. He wants to send law enforcement to every part of America and attempt to disarm everyone that he feels is a racist and confiscate every piece of literature or whatever that he feels is racist. Obviously, anyone that refuses to be deprived of their liberty will have to be turned into a criminal and imprisoned. I suppose that would be perhaps twenty million Americans. Would he use the FEMA camps to imprison them in since there is no place to put even a fraction of that number in the nation's present penal system. And how would he pay for such a colossal totalitarian undertaking which would cost perhaps a half a billion a year. These "liberals" are a truly dangerous lot I tell you.

That's the slippery slope philosophers warn of.
And regarding my earlier posts, it's important to note that immorality is not on the same footing as morality. That's why normatively criminal acts (e.g. actual crimes not to be confused with the transgression of immoral laws) are not on the same footing with acts of morality.
So while it's true that criminal racist acts and honoring the devil with cursed monuments are examples of immoral behavior that no moral society should tolerate, simple belief and verbal and written expression must be protected as a human right. There is a balance. A racist belief is immoral but doesn't cross the line requiring government law enforcement intervention (though public education to correct it is certainly desirable). Only when it manifests in a normatively criminal act does it become a matter for the system of justice.

I keep people here in the South riding around waving an American flag on one side and a confederate flag on the other side of their trunks. This is oxymoronic to fly two flags that represent two nations that warred against each other...._ this is the equivalent of flying a Jewish flag next to a swastika
