The Confederate Flag and Trapshooting

To me a northern white boy, I never begrudged the Confederate Flag, it to me was a part of American History, and no one should be belittling it, Men and women died for it, the same as Men and Women for the US Flag.

I know a lot of Southern Trapshooters, and a lot of you know Southern NASCAR drivers, General Motors is making a stand w/Kid Rock, sponsoring Chevrolet.

When I find a stick-on Confederate Flag that will fit my Trapstock, there will be one on it.

It's a part of American History that used to be, and we cannot erase it, And I will never try to.

Do you remember the GENERAL LEE, on Dukes of Hazard? Well so do I, and the golfer that bought it, is going to lose a lot of money removing that flag, but it's his money.

If anyone finds a stick on Confederate Flag that will fit on my Stock send it to me and tell me how much it cost and I will pay you for it.

I have the Heart of the South to display it, a lot of people died for the Confederacy, and I am proud to remember it.

A lot of people are missing the point, the point is what the flag stood for. So Doc you think that its ok for people to be used as a Slave.

 

The Confederate Flag did not stand for slavery.

Who told you such nonsense?

 

The Democratic Party stood for Slavery! Where is the call to abolish it!

DR. Longshot, This is one thing for sure that I agree with you on. I hope you find your sticker.

 

Do I agree with slavery, Hell no... But remember people had slaves back in Biblical times.
The more slaves, you had, the wealthier you were. And, Slaves were a common item if you will use that word.
The Confederate Flag is a great part of our American History. I believe the folks that want to destroy any thing to do with the
Confederate Flag are bitting the hand that feeds them. By that I mean This Great Country called the United States of America.

From what I have read, in those days the flags were used to identify which troops were where on the battlefield. The original confederate flag looked very similar to the union flag.

After a mistaken shelling of their own troops early in the war of northern aggression the confederate army adopted a flag, the "stars and bars", to distinguish their own troops from the Yankees.

The flag they adopted was their "battle" flag. When Lee told them to fold it up and put it away after Appomattox, IMO, he meant they had lost the battle and it was time to accept that. The south had lost the war. For some, that "stars and bars" flag represents their feelings about "losing" the war, not slavery.

Hi Dr. Longshot, I have made up two stickers for you ... one for each side of your stock and I am working on an long gated version for your Barrel. As usual no charge and it has been put in the mail as of today. Our Confederate Flag is a great part of our American History and should continue to Fly by Americans who chose to do so.
Kind Regards, Storeman Norman

 

For all you guys who think the flag didn't stand for slavery tell that to the nine black families who's relatives who died in SC. I know most of you don't care, but what if it were your folks.

 

Our Confederate Flag is a great part of our American History and should continue to Fly by Americans who chose to do so. Any one who would like the Flag stickers that I sent to Dr. Longshot then please send me a private conservation with your self addressed envelope and stamp and I will send you what I have pictured below. Kind Regards, Storeman Norman

Just a reminder.....
Symbols mean different things to different people.

"Friends" and trapshooting are something we all have in common. Let's not find symbols that can divide us. Just my 02.

 

That is a great and fine Gesture Norman, I am sure a lot of shoooters will
also thank you, and take you up on your offer.

For those of you that believe the Confederacy, the Civil War or the Confederate Flag are anything to be proud of, please purchase and read "A People's History of The Civil War" by David Williams.
The Confederacy was nothing like what you learned in school. And the only States Right involved was the right to own slaves. Better you put a Nazi flag sticker on your stock.

 

I wonder how the American Indian feels about the Stars and Stripes. Should we abolish it if some of them started to complain?

 

Confederate flags never flew on slave ships crossing the Atlantic, but did so under U.S. Flags for decades, right up to start of war. FYI.

 

Yep --- if I am not mistaken the first black slaves were brought to Jamestown in 1619--- So, under what flag did were slaves allowed until 1776 and then from 1776 until 1861? All of this can be talked until we are all blue in the face and those that want the Confederate Battle Flag (Refer to flyersarebest post above) gone will want it wrong ---
My question is what is next?????? I am a christian, abortion offends me..... we need to abolish it and all material that defends it like T-shirts, etc. The list can go on and on --- where will it end. Now the talk is of digging up Gen Forrest and moving him, tearing down statues in parks, renaming bridges etc. etc. After all this what will be next.

 

For any one wanting Confederate Stickers for your Stock or Barrel you may simply do a copy and Paste from my post and go to Office Max or Office Depoe and pick up the Avery # 8255 Full Sheet labels and cut them to size for a peal and self stick. That way you can get around the mailing process.

Keep your Head down and Break em all.

Dr. Longshot, Thanks for your support. I am working on approaching Clint Eastwood thru a good friend - Neil Young ... On doing a Movie on Trap Shooting known as " The Trap Hustler" Stay Tuned because you will be included along with many other Character's on this site & the other.

Another Title might be better known as "Dead Bird" for the Movie Marque. Staring ... A list of actors.

 

Doc. If you are against abortion, don't have one. Stop telling other people how to lead their life. Isn't there something in the christian religion about " Do unto others as you would have others do unto you"?
Nobody is telling you to have or not have a abortion.

 

I wonder what the response would have been if the sick SOB had this flag in the background.

TTT

 

They could call it "The Trap HUSTLE"

The story of the ATA's move from Vandalia and how they did it.

The background music could be the same they used in M.A.S.H.

Those that don't remember history are doomed to repeat it....
those that try to forget it are only making negative people right...
Abraham Lincoln was a supporter of the south, many feel that had he not been killed that the south would not have suffered from the carpet baggers and the KKK would never been formed....
the stars and bars stands for more than racial discrimination, it stands for a way of life that is gone... the small family farms, the extended family gathering after a day of work to celebrate another day over a hot meal after a prayer, the way of self reliability and community togetherness is absent in todays society.
I am a proud northerner.... but i weep for the passing of the grand old south.

 

I didn't think the gunman carried a flag with him. I would tell the families, that their people had been killed by a very disturbed person who did this horrific act.

Unless he was wrapped in the stars and bars, shouting "the south shall rise again" and "I'll show you all", then the flag means nothing about the shooting.

Blaming the shooting on the flag, is like blaming the gun and not the person using it.

 

The flag represents bravery, Honor, pride and loyalty to the south.

People don't know it but the Blacks were the first slave owner and taught the whites what to do with the slaves. The DemocRATs were the ones who were leading the slave business. That is in the history books.

 

Here's one for you flag lovers.
