I actually agree with MTG!

Pretty sure she means on State and Federal grounds.
I personally fly the US Flag and the Culpepper flag at my home.
1). Anyone should be able to fly whatever flag they want. 2) MTG is a stupid cvnt.
wrap yourself in that rainbow one all day......and the stupid one here is you.....BBBBBBBAAAAAAAHHHHHH
I don't think you understand. Please, look further in to her statement about flying flags......and think really, really hard (hint: state she is from).........
She is crazy. I don't disagree. However, I can't wait for someone to pose the question to her about flying the Confederate Flag. With her quote, it will be interesting to hear her response.
Confederate flags like the rainbow flag or any other flag including Ukraine flag should never be flown on state or federal buildings. A state flag under the American flag is accepted. What a person does on there property is their business. I personally only fly the American flag .
I fly ONLY one flag.......the US Flag. The states are represented on it. No need for a state flag at my house.
Old Glory represents the country as a whole. No need to single out groups and continue to divide. The rainbow flag has no business being flown on state or federal property.
Something tells me the left and its bleaters would go berserk, if Pedo-Joe flew the Christian flag instead.
Old Glory. One Nation. Period.

I agree. Wish we had more like-minded people to have this same feeling when the traitor flag (Confederate) was being flown on state capitol buildings.
The confederate flag wasn’t flown on state capitols in your lifetime.
You don’t know what you are talking about.
Mississippi state flag had the Confederate flag on it. So, yes, it was flown, stop splitting hairs. I believe it was flown up until the late 20-teens or 2020. Maybe you can correct me.
I believe the Georgia flag also had confederate emblem on it, and was replaced in early 2000's.
South Carolina still flew the Confederate flag as recently as the mid 20-teens until it was forced to be taken down by the governor. Again, fact check me but I'm pretty sure.
There are other examples from other southern states. But my point is: YES, I was alive when all these were being flown.....and years before. It appears that I may not be the one that doesn't know what I'm talking about.
Nope. Each state flew the Battle Flag of Northern Virginia during the times you mentioned. That is not the Confederate Flag. I love it that so many people ***** and whine about a symbol they can't even identify. F'n idiots in this country.
Like I said, you don't know what you are talking about.
I thought you and airport knew your history better.
This is the removal of what you three call the Confederate Flag from the South Carolina State Capitol in 2020. Tell me the moment the Confederate Flag first appears in the video. I'll give you a hint. It is not at the 0:03 mark.
It is utterly amazing how much ignorance is involved in this issue. Well and in every other discussion involving race.
Stop splitting hairs, again. The Battle Flag of Northern Virginia.........or the Confederate Flag........either one. But my point is still correct. The vast majority of Americans, and people around the globe, will identify the battle flag as the "Confederate flag". That's a fact.
EDIT: The implicit link between soldiers and the nation that their service supported became explicit in May 1863 when the Confederate Congress approved a new national flag featuring the Army of Northern Virginia (ANV) battle flag.

Splitting hairs? Its a square and not a rectangle, and the space between the stars decreased a little. That is a major difference. The # of stars actually represents "...the number of states in the Confederacy." But that is just splitting hairs.
-----------------------------------
Miles' flag and all the flag designs up to that point were rectangular ("oblong") in shape. General Johnston suggested making it square to conserve material. Johnston also specified the various sizes to be used by different types of military units. Generals Beauregard and Johnston and Quartermaster General Cabell approved the 12-star Confederate Battle Flag's design at the Ratcliffe home, which served briefly as Beauregard's headquarters, near Fairfax Court House in September 1861. The 12th star represented Missouri. President Jefferson Davis arrived by train at Fairfax Station soon after and was shown the design for the new battle flag at the Ratcliffe House. Hetty Cary and her sister and cousin made prototypes. One such 12-star flag resides in the collection of Richmond's Museum of the Confederacy and the other is in the Confederate Memorial Hall Museum in New Orleans.
On November 28, 1861, Confederate soldiers in General Robert E. Lee's newly reorganized Army of Northern Virginia received the new battle flags in ceremonies at Centreville and Manassas, Virginia, and carried them throughout the Civil War. Beauregard gave a speech encouraging the soldiers to treat the new flag with honor and that it must never be surrendered. Many soldiers wrote home about the ceremony and the impression the flag had upon them, the "fighting colors" boosting morale after the confusion at the Battle of First Manassas. From then on, the battle flag grew in its identification with the Confederacy and the South in general.[42] The flag's stars represented the number of states in the Confederacy. The distance between the stars decreased as the number of states increased, reaching thirteen when the secessionist factions of Kentucky and Missouri joined in late 1861.[43]
The Army of Northern Virginia battle flag assumed a prominent place post-war when it was adopted as the copyrighted emblem of the United Confederate Veterans. Its continued use by the Southern Army's post-war veteran's groups, the United Confederate Veterans (U.C.V.) and the later Sons of Confederate Veterans, (S.C.V.), and elements of the design by related similar female descendants organizations of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, (U.D.C.), led to the assumption that it was, as it has been termed, "the soldier's flag" or "the Confederate battle flag."
The square "battle flag" is also properly known as "the flag of the Army of Northern Virginia". It was sometimes called "Beauregard's flag" or "the Virginia battle flag". A Virginia Department of Historic Resources marker declaring Fairfax, Virginia, as the birthplace of the Confederate battle flag was dedicated on April 12, 2008, near the intersection of Main and Oak Streets, in Fairfax, Virginia.[44][45][46]
Man, stop defending the traitor's flag. The fact still remains, whether it was the "battle flag" or not, it was being flown over many southern states as late as the 20-teens. And it is the flag that was used to attack the United States of America. So.........choke on that fact.
1) Not on State or Federal grounds.
2) Sounds like the average Democrat.
Having a Confederate flag on it is not the same as being a Confederate flag.
One is a state flag and the other is a national flag.
So, using the flag that was used to attack our nation is OK with you? Sorry. Not for me.
