Ok forget Nazi's
How about the Confederate States of America? Is that better?
There is a large group that held bad IDEAS as well. This is another Ideology the majority of people have no particular interest in protecting from being scrutinized for what it truly was. In fact its flag is an object of shame.
Here's a running list of where the southern emblem—better known as stars and bars—can no longer be found.
States
California
Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation last year prohibiting state agencies from selling or displaying items bearing the flag. (August 21, 2014)
South Carolina
Following the Charleston shooting, governor Nikki Haley called on Monday for the flag to be removed from the statehouse grounds. On Tuesday, legislators proposed a measure to consider removing the flag. (June 22, 2015)
Mississippi
Lawmakers in the state are planning to remove the emblem from the state flag. (June 23, 2015)
Virginia
Virginia's governor has moved to have the flag banished from state license plates. (June 23, 2015)

On Wednesday morning, governor Robert Bentley ordered the flag removed from state capitol grounds. (June 24, 2015)
Companies
Sears and Kmart
Sears Holdings, which operates Kmart and Sears, will no longer allow third parties to sell Confederate-themed merchandise online. (June 22, 2015)
Walmart
The world's largest retailer has taken down reproductions of the Confederate flag from its physical and online stores. "We don't want to offend anyone with the products that we offer," spokesman Brian Nick said in a statement. (June 22, 2015)
eBay
The online auction site has vowed to ban the listing of Confederate flags and items. (June 23, 2015)

On Tuesday afternoon, a spokesperson confirmed the company would pull Confederate flag merchandise. (June 23, 2015)

The newly-public company announced on Tuesday it would remove all Confederate flag products. (June 23, 2015)

The company plans to pull paraphernalia with images of the flag, it said Tuesday. (June 23, 2015)
Warner Bros.

The nation's oldest and largest flag manufacturer will stop making and selling the Confederate flag. (June 24, 2015)
The National Park Service
NPS said Wednesday that it's asking "associations, concessions, and partners to voluntarily withdraw sales in their stores of Confederate flags and other items, such as stickers, that depict the Confederate flag as a stand-alone feature." (June 24, 2015)
Spencer Gifts
The novelty shop is yet another to stop selling Confederate flag merchandise. (June 24, 2015)
NASCAR
"As our industry works collectively to ensure that all fans are welcome at our races, NASCAR will continue our long-standing policy to disallow the use of the Confederate Flag symbol in any official NASCAR capacity," the company said recently. (June 23, 2015)
This is a great illustration of an outdated ideology and its symbols having no place in the modern world. After the Charleston shooting the state did away with the symbol of the ideologies. Now think about the Koran? its more than a symbol, its a symbol and its a text book on hate (as is the bible).
Why do we have the balls to do away with the confederate flag after one modern act of terrorism, but not Islams symbols and reputation after countless terrorist attacks around the world??
My point is the liberal majority are so over concerned with protecting this stupid religion, they are part of the problem.
