Kid rock...American hero? Perhaps

[Barfyspitz]

As many know, kid rock, who is an enthusiastic General Lee fan/owner and frequent waver  of the Confederate flag, has taken a stand in defense of the Confederate flag.  Groups in Detroit that have been protesting, boycotting him and demanding that he denounce the confederate flag were told by kid rock to...."kiss his ass".                                 I think Its time go buy a kid rock album!

Good for him. Hopefully more celebrities will stand up.   Kid Rock is great and some of the big country stars and Tom Hanks types would be better.   After all, Tom Hanks was Forrest Gump from the south.

Brilliant !! A person of "power" in the spotlight to stand up for the flag.

[skip68]

  Actually, kid rock will be great because he'll be loud and that makes media.   

[Ghoste]

Good for him!  (I was getting more than a little tired of hearing the Detroit whiner groups talking about the flag is a symbol of genocide)

[400sforever]

Everybody needs to take a stand like he did. Finally someone with balls

[myk]

So where's everyone else?  I find it shameful that he's the only celebrity, at least that I've heard of, that is making such a stand...

[440]

I think if Kid Rock speaks out in public and takes a stand it will encourage others to do so as well.

As he said - "He's going platinum"

[skip68]

I know.    where the Hell are all these country stars    
The bulk of them are southerners with lots of family history to the confederate army.   Shame on them for not standing up.  Don't let the kkk be the only ones making the news on the 18th.    
They are not who we want representing the rebel flag.

I'm really surprised Hank Jr. has remained under the radar so far.

[polywideblock]

what about ted         

[Mike DC]

  
I'm not sure why the older generation of Country stars are quiet either.  Maybe fear of industry retribution?  


Walmart could make one phone call and get the modern Country music crowd flying ISIS flags.

[JB400]

It's good that he spoke up, but considering what's going on, I think he just limited the retailers of his albums.

[myk]

what about ted         

Yeah where is Ted.  He's normally extremely vocal about his beliefs...

[Ghoste]

I sometimes feel like a few of these political correct organizations are hate groups in their own fashion.

They are. 

[skip68]

I want to see that since all these people are so concerned with political correctness they don't stop part way.  I want to see the Indians rally and demand their land back.   That's a fight I'd really enjoy watching and hearing what these pc idiots have to say about that.   I'D REALLY LIKE TO HEAR WHAT THEIR RESPONSE WOULD BE TO THAT QUESTION.   "CAN WE HAVE OUR LAND BACK" ?       

[tan top]

 not trying to stir anything  , &  not trying to get this thread locked   ,   are these guys in Detroit for real .... this flag deal is snowballing , its madness

this is dangerous stuff  , imo  just people wanting to start trouble , & will latch on to anything .

[skip68]

Thanks tan top.    
This is what I've been saying from the get go.   It's not going to just stop at the courthouse in Carolina. They want this flag gone and anything tied to it.   They want it to be the official symbol of hate and racism as that lady senator said it was.   The real problem with the confederate flag is some hate groups using.   NOT it flying on state property.   You know it, I know it and they damn well know it.    They are successfully taking steps in branding it in the publics eye so that anyone in the future will only associate it with evil.   F these trouble making people.  They have their freedom and that means they're free to leave this country.  
It kills me that they have this much energy, resources, time and passion to chase people that like the flag.  Yet their own people are killing themselves and running like animals breaking laws and everything in between.   They have bigger problems than some stupid flag and they know it.   They can't fix or control the problem within their own so they blame us or a flag.    They share the same freedom as we all do.  They get the same education as we all do and yet this is how they choose to use it.     They think they're entitled to special treatment and that's got to end.   They need to go out and find all these "baby daddy's" and make them become men.   
Sorry, rant over.  

[JB400]

Whole heartedly agree with the guy.

if they talk to out aboriginals over here they might yet    since being given the right to "claim " vacant crown land they have ran amok   
our 1800's post office in the middle of the city was vacant for a while , guess what its now the local "worimi" tribes new hang out   

[tucknroll]

Walmart is full of crap. Just yesterday  our Walmart had a few smokey and the bandit models and there was the flag on the box clear as the day. Dukes got a raw deal.

[Lennard]

As usual...a lot of people jump on to the bandwagon and want their 15 minutes of fame.
It's just one BIG hype!

Hopefully our resident guitar player here will not catch a bunch of poopoo for having a General Lee..........
