This is Orwellian

Indeed. But what does it matter. We are seriously screwed anyway. Legislators are bought, and what they write into law means nothing. This is all pretend.

Please post links to where the decision to stop manufacturing General Lee toys was in any way due to legislation passed by any government, local, state or national. This was a business choice made by a company. They decided continuing to manufacture the toy is bad for business, so they are stopping. This is purely market-driven.

Here are some other toys that are no longer made:

My screed was directed at news which developed this morning, not connected with the flag issue but more so with governmental trends. I sincerely apologize for causing any confusion, consternation or offense.

Yes because the General Lee was painted specifically, and for no reason other, than to promulgate hate. To follow your absurd logic, the Network Executives and everyone that ever watched the television show, as well as any actor that ever participated in the making of the program are all guilty racists by proxy as well.

apparently you are either choosing to ignore, or just don't care, what the confederate battle flag represented and continues to represent. it has NOTHING in common with the rainbow flag.
one is a people trying to get treated equally, the other flew over a people determined to remain supreme over others, to own them. it continued to show that when it started appearing again, during the civil rights movement.
so, yeah, go ahead and ignore all that history...pretend it's just about 'feelings'.

I didn't say one had anything at all in common with the other, you simp. I said that there are as many people (mostly deeply religious folks) that choose to be offended by the rainbow flag as there are people who choose to be offended by the stars and bars.

If feelings are the top priority this country has nowadays (you yourself haven't taken 5 minutes to STFU about it in a week) it's hypocritical to embrace one action and bathe in the schadenfreude of another.

But who would expect anything less from you and GR?

Don't bother responding to me. Please.

Well, I wasn't aware that the rainbow flag was flying over the grounds of a state government. Folks have the right to display any flag they want in their home or backyard, individuals can carry it in a parade or have it on a bumper sticker but government is supposed to represent all the people, arrogantly flying a symbol offensive to many folks makes a mockery not
only of their feelings but the whole country.

no, they don't have anything in common, which is why i said what i said. you suggest both are capable of causing bad feelings, when in fact we all know only one actually has a history of doing so.
i don't want the confederate flag gone over 'feelings'. i've always said it had no place at capitals and the like. i'm glad everyone is catching up to that now.

You have no f.ucking clue what the confederate battle flag represented, you imbecile.

Grant had slaves 3 years after Robert E. Lee had given up his.

Tired of you fat stupid idiots with your pantsuit agenda. What you need to do is get in the f.ucking kitchen and shut the f.uck up with your worthless know-nothing condescension.

You're the biggest idiot on this forum, zig. And that's past, present and future.

Women's liberation gave us George W. Bush and Barack Hussein Obama.

Thanks a lot, ladies. Continue to dazzle us with your knowledge of politics.
