Southern Pride! Michigan-Born Rockers Kid Rock And Ted Nugent Defend Their Confederate Flags

[TexasTowelie]

In perhaps the best example that the Confederate flag really has nothing to do with Southern pride or history and more to do with identifying with white rednecks, Michigan-born musicians Ted Nugent and Kid Rock fired back against critics of their use of the flag during shows or on their properties. Both musicians, who have become conservative icons in recent years, stuck to their guns leading up to Friday’s historic moment in South Carolina when the battle flag was taken down in front of the state capitol.

On Thursday night’s episode of The Kelly File, host Megyn Kelly, while speaking with Tea Party darling Dana Loesch about South Carolina taking the flag down, read a short statement from Kid Rock regarding his feelings about protesters. In recent days, demonstrators associated with Al Sharpton have called for Rock to stop embracing the flag. He told the activists to “kiss his ass” in a roundabout way.

Meanwhile, The Nuge indulged some NRA members earlier this week regarding his love of the racist symbol, as he not only proclaimed that he’ll continue to fly the flag on his property due to it representing Southern traditions, but wondered if people in Chicago would stop shooting themselves if we took down all the flags. Also, on his Facebook page, when asked by a fan his thoughts on South Carolina taking down the flag, he responded with one word — Bullshit!

4. People forget the "great migration" wasn't strictly an African American phenomenon

A whole lot of white riff-raff made the same journey and bought "the south" with them. My grandfather hated them.

"Okie Motherfuckers" is what he called them, whether or not they were from Oklaholma didn't really matter.
