So Cooter draws the line at "terrorists ... destroy America people ... people who break the law" ... what the hell do you think the Confederacy was about, assclown?

Don't call him "Cooter"; call him "Cunt".

Senator Cooter.

SENATOR COOTER.

But what does Ja Rule think?

"Here to provide commentary on the issue of race relations in America: Cooter."

It's a «government speech» as it is a state-issued plate for your bought «authorization» to use the public road.

No, a driver's license is NOT a right. It's a privilege.

I side for the government on that one.

That said, if you want to put a bumper sticker or full car decal of the confederate flag, then THAT is your free speech right.

Didn't mean to downvote this in the hopper, my trigger finger slipped!

The Confederacy lasted less than five years, so I don't get how itssuch a big part of their heritage. Same folks tell blacks to forget about slavery, which lasted centuries. Full House had 8 seasons. The Confederacy lasted just over half as long as Full House's primetime run. Uncle Jesse > Robert E Lee.

Has "Straw Man argument" always been something people throw around to avoid addressing what other people said? I agree that her argument was stupid (albeit not a straw man), but I specifically don't remember people saying "straw man" all the time in the 20th century.

Confederate Smithers, who's that fat, slovenly go getter over there... Texas, eh...

"Texas abandoned her separate national existence and consented to become one of the Confederated Union to promote her welfare, insure domestic tranquility and secure more substantially the blessings of peace and liberty to her people. She was received into the confederacy with her own constitution, under the guarantee of the federal constitution and the compact of annexation, that she should enjoy these blessings. She was received as a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution known as negro slavery-- the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits-- a relation that had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race, and which her people intended should exist in all future time. Her institutions and geographical position established the strongest ties between her and other slave-holding States of the confederacy. Those ties have been strengthened by association."
