Topic The Confederate Flag

Is anyone really surprised by this opportunistic -itch?  She stands for nothing. She really is everything wrong with politicians.




Heritage, Not Hate

While the media goes nuts blaming everything from the Confederate battle flag to the NRA and the GOP for the CHarleston tragedy here is a REAL symbol of hatred and oppression that should be banned in the USA. The Koranic verses and sword of the Islamic terrorists.

We need to ban the false religion! It does not deserve the protections of the First Amendment, considering it runs in complete opposition to our beliefs.
I am getting so damn sick of the Marxists. I know I'm not alone in my hatred of the left, that this nation is on the verge of revolt, that one incident can set the ball in motion.

Is that the plan by these Marxists, to push us into revolting against them, in hopes of starting a Civil war?
If so, they don't seem to realize, it is the left that will lose.

Bad link, chief. But it's OK. We already knew these animals needed culling.

I have found that South Africa serves as a coal mine canary for America.  In South Africa, they first pretty much banned the flags of the Afrikaaners, often claiming that the mere sight of the flags evoked fear and loathing, and racism.

This was followed by vandalism of statues of the country's white founders. And more recently, calls to take the statues down.

All of which, of course, is a thinly veiled attempt to erase the history of an entire people. http://www.nationaljournal.com/politics/mitch-mcconnell-to-kentucky-capitol-lose-the-jefferson-davis-statue-20150623

The DNC and GOP follow in the footsteps of ISIS.

So. Do you think that Germany should now allow the display of the swastika flag, just to honor the bravery of the Wehrmacht during the WW2? This conservative habit of reflexively defending anything the Left attacks is stupid and self defeating. BTW why would anyone in South Africa - anyone who isn't a racist, white supremacist, that is - want any reminders of a dark period of the nation's prior history. As for Jefferson Davis, why should any state have a statue of an enemy of the US on public property. Seen many statues of Benedict Arnold recently?

Why not? Both stand for things that are anathema to the American ideal.

And, of course, much the same happened to the Jews in the 1930s and 1940s Germany.

The question is, as whites, in general, and white Christians in particular in the U.S., decline in numbers - eventually becoming a "minority" will they face the inevitable fate of all opposition minorities in a totalitarian country!

No, but in Detroit they're putting up one of Robocop, and elsewhere in town the Satanists are going to erect one to Baphomet.

Confederate Navy Jack: Used as a navy jack at sea from 1863 onward. This flag has become the generally recognized symbol of the South.

Note: It is necessary to disclaim any connection of these flags to neo-nazis, red-necks, skin-heads and the like. These groups have adopted this flag and desecrated it by their acts. They have no right to use this flag - it is a flag of honor, designed by the confederacy as a banner representing state's rights and still revered by the South. In fact, under attack, it still flies over the South Carolina capitol building. The South denies any relation to these hate groups and denies them the right to use the flags of the confederacy for any purpose. The crimes committed by these groups under the stolen banner of the conderacy only exacerbate the lies which link the secession to slavery interests when, from a Southerner's view, the cause was state's rights.

States rights? How racist of those rednecks, trying to exercise the rights they were given! I mean, they must've been crazy thinking that the same government which imposed the Constitution on them would allow them to exercise their own 10th Amendment rights.

Yes, I think that has always been in the back of Obama's mind... from the beginning!

He has always had a high level of rage pent up inside.  He itches for an opportunity to "punish his perceived enemies."

IOW they throwing up a one day plaster fake to honor a series of movies set in the city. And the Satanists are setting up a religious symbol. That's different that permanently honoring an American traitor.

Are you going to start a civil war over the Confederate flag? The Union pretty much succeeded in making the South take that one down 150 years ago. Why are some people so desperate to flaunt something that has such painful connotations to their fellow citizens? Are you in favor of parading swastika flags through the neighborhoods of Holocaust survivors, simply because you can? Should those flags be on Public property. And before you say "that's different", remember we went to war with the flyers of both flags.
