re: Bubba Watson to paint over Confederate flag on General Lee

Bubba looks like he may be the bottom in that pairing.

Coy and Vance killed the franchise...God, they sucked so much dick on the show, and if that picture is any indication, they didn't stop when they left the set.

Governor, if I had foreseen the use those people designed to make of their victory, there would have been no surrender at Appomattox Courthouse; no sir, not by me. Had I foreseen these results of subjugation, I would have preferred to die at Appomattox with my brave men, my sword in this right hand.”
General Robert E. Lee, August 1870 to Governor Stockdale of Texas

As for the South, it is enough to say that perhaps eighty per cent. of her armies were neither slave-holders, nor had the remotest interest in the institution. No other proof, however, is needed than the undeniable fact that at any period of the war from its beginning to near its close the South could have saved slavery by simply laying down its arms and returning to the Union.”
Major General John B. Gordon, from his book,Causes of the Civil War.

Bubba Watson to paint over Confederate flag on General Lee

what the frick does one have to do with another!?!?? What does an old coat of paint on the roof of a 40 year old vehicle that will barely ever be seen by anyone besides yourself have to do with you thinking all men are equal!??

This type of thing is why racism persists. While the black community ignores significant self induced problems with single parent birth rates, under education, crime, poverty, etc. the race peddlers point the finger of blame at everyone else .....and continue to drum up "non" controversies like th flag, Trayvon, etc. ...with the help of limp ignorant celebrities like Bubba.

All this does is piss everybody off....

For Bubba




Or this

Weird. Watson would not be hurt one bit by keeping the flag on the car as a tribute to the show. His fan base demographics is likely very top heavy on Southerners. Very low on blacks and the SJW crowd.

Leads me to one conclusion. Bubba has thoughts on running for some kind of political office after his PGA career is done or starting a business. Champions Tour or a political career or a business. Right now, he is uncertain which way he will go.

He is insulating his future self from attacks that he supported racism via symbolism. Now....nobody can say "you kept the symbol of oppression on your personal property back in 2015.....racist." He is just doing what these other politicians and business owners are doing today, only, he is doing it today to ward off future accusations.

I doubt Watson even thought of this himself. He was probably advised to do so by someone who walked him through the possible future implications. One might consider that there are immediate implications as well. Like his major sponsors allowing him to make this grand gesture instead of dropping him and causing embarrassment. Unfortunately, I do believe that it not only probably occurred,....but likely occurred.

Probably a lot at play behind the scenes that we will never know. It is a sad age when one can't own an old TV show car without having their entire livelihood possibly turned upside down by a mob.

or......more people like Watson (people with a social platform ) could speak out against the hypocrisy of it all ? Instead of falling in toe with the faux outrage corporate hooligans, these figures could easily express their "own " personal opinions on the matter,many of which would personally align with my own, but they won't because they're slaves to their want and greed for more. They're nothing more than corporate whores. frick em !!!

This sentence is, of course, taken directly from The Declaration of INdependence.

It's not rocket science here..... The South fought in defense of this american principle. And the north fought against it.

There is no controversy over this. It is simple fact. Which is why it is simply ignored.

Because if you don't ignore it..... you just might realize that the flags flown by the South represent Liberty, Self-determination, and Resistance to centralized power. While the "american" flag was (and is still) flown by those who hate these american ideals with all their being and are willing to murder and destroy in order TO PREVENT THEM FROM TAKING ROOT.


This war is far from over, people.
