While Dylan Roof may have wanted to see his murder of nine members of a South Carolina church Bible studies session inspire a race war, the aftermath has taken a different turn. Photos of Roof holding a Confederate flag have led to calls for the removal of this “odious symbol of oppression” from American life.
All over the South, Confederate flags are being taken down from state houses, public parks, and memorials. At the Gettysburg National Historic Park all Confederate symbols have been taken down. Park Director Thomas Jackson asserted that “for too long we’ve accorded the treasonous rabble that opposed our government too much credit. They may have worn uniforms and carried flags, but they were outlaws. It’s about time we treated them as such.”
Jackson, who assured members of the media that he is “no relation to Civil War General Stonewall Jackson, explained that “henceforth, the opposing sides of the Battle of Gettysburg will be described as the ‘US Army’ vs. the ‘rebels.’” The director attributed a lot of the blame for the elevated status of these rebels to “the unwarranted magnanimity of President Lincoln. His ‘malice toward none,’ was, in my opinion, a mistake.”
Meanwhile, in Baltimore, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is pushing to rename a park honoring Confederate General Robert E. Lee. “We should not be honoring the memory of a slave-owning traitor,” she argued. “Instead, we should be creating a memorial to Freddy Gray—a modern day victim of the same racism that moved Mr. Lee and his henchmen to take up arms against the government.”

So if an illegal-Mexican pictured with the Mexican flag, holding a gun goes out and murders a bunch of people then we can ban the Mexican flag, right?
The Civil War proved that the federal gov’t was like the Mafia — once you join, you can never get out.
There’s a guy on Ebay (there are many, but I use him as an example) selling cheaply made 3’x5’ Confederate flags out of china. Five bucks delivered. He is selling an average of 1800 an hour....
WHAT IS BEHIND THIS ?
Because it was under threat of questioning and possible impeachment proceedings by its so called political opposition the regime started this war. It was through the use of racial division. It created persons engaged in felonious assults on authority who were black youths into a victim of an evil society (thus approving their actions) out of whole cloth.
The regime began with the Zimmerman case which led to a series of assults by black youths on completely innocent whites,”hispanics”, and asians who were either targeted or wandered near or through black gang infested areas. The perpetators excuse; The reported “cold blood killing of Treyvon Martin because he was black”
It led to a score or more deaths and serious injuries. And it was met with silence while this was happening. Neither the locqatious POTUS or his political opposition uttered as much as a “Now!,Now! or a “tsk!,tsk!”
Those killings were referenced by the Charleston Church massacre perpetrator in his crazed manifesto.
