We need to get Ebay, KMart or Walmart, etc. to ban the sale of Che Guevera shirts and stickers, the Cuban Communist Flag, and the Flag of Iran, Red China, No. Korea and Russia since all are sponsors of “State terrorism” and aggression against their neighbors.
Also no statues allowed of mass murderers/advocates of, such as Karl Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Che, etc. in the US or US possessions, or they must put up next to them statues of Hitler, Himmler and Eichmann.
Equality of free expression is a two way street, comrades and libs. However, if you stand in the middle of a two-way street, you are going to get hit from both sides, and deservedly so.
We can have a lot of fun in the newspapers and on talk shows using this countering approach re the Confederate Battle Flag (which I do not like but would not try to banish from history).
This is happening fast like the virus that causes a zombie apocalypse. Can’t recall anything like this.
“”I’m pretty much in the “It belongs in a museum” camp that a lot of conservatives have expressed.””
That is not a conservative position, that is the surrender and bend over position
Me either. I actually came up with a GREAT conspiracy theory for it, though. If "they" knew Obamacare would be upheld, and gay marriage too, then "they" might have wanted to remove THE symbol of fighting federal oppression in American history - the Confederate flag. After all, it literally represents Civil War. So if you think of it that way, this could remove a rallying point for national anger being expressed stupidly. And so, though in itself it's historically a false target and completely idiotic, the removal of it as quick, effective flash point would actually be a good thing right now.
The civil war was not a civil war technically, as no one was trying to overthrow the US government. It was really a war of Independence, just like the USA revolutionary war or the Texas War of Independence from Mexico. The CSA set up its own President, congress, branches of government, printed its own money, claimed independence and broke away. All flags in a war of independence are a symbol of treason in that respect. I don’t think the UK suddenly gets butt hurt over seeing the American flag though at one time it was a flag of treason.
There is little time left. We must BAN EVERYONE who wants to BAN ANYTHING.
Exactly! The Flag must be defended on the First Amendment Alone!!!!
Your premise is flawed.
Leftists don’t care about treason.
What about any businesses affiliation with Planned Parenthood? Many big businesses like to donate to liberal causes such as Planned Parenthood.
Is there any kind of precedent for this & there is no redress for the people? I’d think a state of emergency would have needed to be declared to act this quickly & this absolutely.
Who knew that governors could just do anything they had a whim to do?
How about signs with red hand prints on it. “Blood on their hands. Don’t support this business it supports killing babies in the womb. There have been 30 million abortions in this country.”
Pass out flyers to shoppers walking by.
Yeah don’t they sell t shirts with the cop killer Mumia
Yes, this is a big, organized effort. Media coordinating with government, and probably federal government leaning hard on state and local officials (and maybe companies, too). Unprecedented.
I can’t count high enough to count the things that have occurred under the Obama regime that were unprecedented.
This is why I am convinced this was all planned in advance and ready to implement.
That Lee quote at the bottom is quite apropos considering this situation that we face. Would that we all had this mentality when fighting our battles—big and small, political or personal. I am tired of people capitulating to the ever-shifting sands of modern “culture” and it’s time we collectively put our foot down and take the wheel away from those who seek to drive us off the cliff.
