Right so there we go! It has many many meanings, but it can ONLY mean to everyone what it means to you. No other viewpoint will be tolerated!
The alternate meanings are regarding Eastern culture which has little if no bearings in the West. Stop being daft, you damn well know how flying a swastika in the West is going to go over.
Just like the idiots who drape themselves in a Confederate flag. You either do it because you're a racist ***, ignorant of the meaning or as a symbol of rebellion against the system.
If the issue was about states rights, don't tread on me (Gadsden flag) is easily available and gets the point across without co-opting a disgusting symbol of the Souths dark past. 
State's rights to decide what people are born with inalienable human rights... Yeah, sounds like it had nothing to do with slavery...
Using that good ole liberal tactic of putting words into peoples mouths that they never said. The Civil War began because Lincoln was elected president w/o being on 10 of the southern states ballots. That was striking the match of the brewing Tariff of abominations that had been going on for decades. The south had no say in the federal government from economics to slavery thus the start of a civil war. Slavery played a factor but it WAS NOT the main topic we fought a civil war over.
However that is a nice picture of yourself, you should be careful posting stuff like that pleebo might get excited.

Well, at least what he said about the Civil War was more or less on point.

The Confederate flag isn't a symbol of state's rights, at least not anymore. You actually do have to consider people's feelings in this case since public perception does play a large role in what symbols represent. You could maybe argue that it's an unfair stigmatization, but really, just move on to another symbol and stop mining the incredible unpleasantness of the Civil War era.

So instead of ignorant P.C. people learning history and the proper meaning of symbols you'll perfectly happy to accept the rewrite of history. Sounds like Stockholm syndrome has finally took hold on you pleebo.

Ugh, no one is rewriting history. Symbolism is not static. Good luck trying to dissociate the image of slavery from Civil War artifacts, though.

I'm not sure what's funnier, him asserting that he knows history, or that he doesn't know how to use the condition "Stockholm syndrome" properly, I'll give him props for capitalizing the name though.
It's also funny that people think the modern "rebel flag" was the flag of the entire confederacy, the entire war rebellion.

And I'll continue to laugh while people get all riled up over stupid crap. Then again, I laugh a lot because that's 90% of what the left does nowadays.

It was a play on words because it gets boring calling pleebo out for playing the victim all the time. I didn't expect someone who is constantly bitching about the context of words or phrases all the time to use reading comprehension and a little common sense to get that joke.
Edit: lol and while I was writing this you edited your post to *** about the context of the rebel flag.

As for the Occupy movement (short of those who abused the opportunity to commit crimes): class warfare is a thing, and they're well within their right to protest against it, as the victims of it.

Be careful what you say. Who knows what the Occupy movement could have accomplished if they didn't think getting high, camping, and standing around counted as effective protesting.

I like how you suggest our presidents lying to us as fake scandals.
Plus the lawsuit against obama isn't a scandal, its a publicity stunt. Please use the proper words, like you HARP on all of us to do.

Don't forget the raping and defecating in the city park. Good times........

So, in response to my comment so far I have a weak attempt at a witty retort and an attempt to share the blame with the right. It appears we're all in agreement.

Nothing spins up the right like mentioning Hilary, they are far more on edge than anyone on the left. Just talking about her gets them riled, just wait until she laughs at Congress again during her testimony on BENGHAZI next month.

Thanks for the laugh, we are still waiting for you to make your first point on this website. I know we will be waiting forever.
Grand Jury indicts Rick Perry
Quote: (CNN) -- A grand jury has indicted Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, saying he abused his power by trying to pressure a district attorney to resign.
The two felony counts against Perry, a Republican, stem from his threat to veto funding for a statewide public integrity unit run by Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg unless she stepped down, the special prosecutor in the case, Michael McCrum, said.
Perry attorney David L. Botsford called the indictment a "political abuse of the court system." He said the action "violated the separation of powers" and "sets a dangerous precedent by allowing a grand jury to punish the exercise of a lawful and constitutional authority afforded to the Texas governor."
CNN affiliate KVUE reported that Perry will have to report to the Travis County Jail in the capital of Austin to be booked, fingerprinted and have his photo made for a mugshot.
Perry can continue to serve as governor while under indictment, KVUE reported. His attorneys could seek to have the charges thrown out, a motion that would delay the case, at the very least.
The grand jury in Travis County indicted the governor on charges of coercion of a public servant and abuse of his official capacity.
I actually didn't believe the headline when I first saw it, but its on every website, even the beloved Fox News. So this is real, its not some doomed publicity stunt *looking at you and your little lawsuit Boehner*
The failed Presidential candidate and pathetic governor of Texas is facing two felony counts of abusing power and coercion. He is going to be arrested, booked, fingerprinted, and a mugshot taken. Can't wait to see that.
Apparently he thought he could use his power to pressure an attorney to resign. I'm not surprised that he would attempt something like that due to his huge ego and lack of intellect, and living in Illinois, used to seeing governors go to jail. He is facing 99 years if convicted.
