Of course it isnt local...it’s a full court press attack on all of us by liberals.

Now if your argument to fly the flag is the inherant right of Americans to self expression...you will win.

If you argument to fly the flag is that the south was right to secede.......you will lose very badly and the squishy moderates will bolt.

just sayin’

Do like me & install your old CB radio in whatever you’re driving these days.

I was looking for accident reports because there’s so many on interstate highways but the chatter against the current regime is deafening around Knoxville & other Southern cities.

They hauled down the Rebel flag in my city but they have changed no minds. This is 1861 all over again.

"That’s not happening."

I am not so sure. The State of Georgia controls Stone Mountain Park and I can see them, Nikki Haley style, voting to remove the monument after some demonstrations and being leaned on by Obama's deconstructionists.

As others have pointed out: it was never going to stop with the all-out attack on the Confederate Battle Flag.

That is actually at the inner harbor pool in Annapolis Md every time I pass that monstrosity I am enraged. The idiot mayor at the time allowed that to occur. She should have been run out of town

Let’s totally destroy American history and date it starting in 1865.


That will never happen. That will mean there was no slavery. So no reparations.

I saw this and my first thought was “You have GOT to be sh!tting me!”

My second thought was, “There will be a wall of Johnny Rebs around that mountain by next month...”

This might be their symbol too far. Eventually descendants of the confederacy and others tired of this Taliban mentality will take a stand.Stone Mountain is a pretty big deal to a lot of folks.
..as IS the Confederate Flag. A symbol now for freedom, not slavery. It will rise again with new symbolic meaning.

> Always such a smiley bunch. It must be tiring playing professional victim for decades.

I’d like to ask them, “who among you think you should receive repatriations”? followed with’ “who among you have been slaves”?
I just want to see their mouths drop...

I have to give some credit to Alex Haley. Before he died, he and I were working on an article to be published about the Union atrocities committed by Tennessee Unionists in West Tennessee. In one case Union Tennessee Cavalry captured Confederates and killed one at every mile marker for twenty miles, even skinning a couple of them alive. Put this in the context of Ft. Pillow a few months later for a better understanding of the hatred for these Unionists by Confederates. When he died my information and contacts all dried up because the information was damning and contrary to the current conscience of the war. Alex Haley was enthusiastic about having these incidents better known.

This is an orchestrated campaign and there are benefactors that are involved. It would not surprise me one iota if orders came directly from the WH to all of the chapters of the NAACP to get them to demand removal of Confederate landmarks as a way to transform the culture of the U.S. to pave the way for a takeover by another group of people (Hispanics or Muslims, take your pic; the bottom line is the removal of the white man’s power).

It is obvious what we HAVE to do; gather our forces in mass quantities, plan, and prepare to stand against the current invasion of America. It is worth fighting for. I’m not ready to see the locusts descend on it and destroy it.

Still waiting for them to holler for Mt. Rushmore to be taken down. ................................. At least not before they put Hillary on it. Then I can understand it.
