Please, No Rebel Flags at the Tulsa Rally, Mr. President
Juneteenth | Nikos1121

Please don’t spoil the message. Campaign staff please go thru the lines and ask that no rebel flags are flown. Anti-Trumpers are sure to have them there to stage for the media. Be smarter than the other side.

Jefferson did not try to succeed. That is where I draw the line.

“You were the one who was speaking as if you knew what Trump wanted. “

I’m not the one acting like showing up there with them is something that is going to be useful to his first rally in weeks.

Like I said, if you care more about being seen with a Dixie flag than being at a TRUMP RALLY, then go for it. You obviously think it is going to “enhance” it, then why waste time arguing with me, who obviously has no idea what I’m talking about....right?

“Seems like you believe you can read minds.”

Like I said, you are seemingly trying to convince yourself that I’m wrong.

If I’m wrong, then what is it to you?

Jefferson was an Anti-Federalist and one of the biggest proponents of States Rights, he even talked about needing a revolution every 20 years.

Your tactical defense is flawed and is only going to be used against you. Either they all stay up, or they all are going to come down.

Considering the iconoclasm has either reached people like Washington, Jefferson, and Columbus this position really is untenable.

You’re whining about something you have no idea will even happen, but go ahead, whine away.

You pretend to read minds but you can’t.

You “don’t sink to their level” types are why our freedom is at risk.

This is your answer?

I replied to the OP of this topic. People like you shat their pants and decided I needed to be told how stupid I am for agreeing.

So if people like you had a fit on here and think that it isn’t a big deal to show up with one, then there is likely some idiot that IS going to.

So keep whining about me not agreeing with you like that is going to change my mind.

The Republican Party contained a substantial number of abolitionists and Abraham Lincoln was the first (and very nearly the last) Republican president. Our party’s first president was murdered by a Democrat. Memories have faded and times have changed, but you need to know and honor your past.

Besides, the people who are likely most interested in waving around the Confederate flag are Democrats and proggies there to disrupt Trump’s rally.

> Someone bringing one is literally out of Alinsky’s book. <

One rule of warfare is “Do not do what your enemy wants you to do.” And every last Democrat would love to see the Confederate flag at a Trump rally.

Now consider the assault on Confederate statues. The Left would prefer that we just quietly let those statues come down. So we should do the opposite. Fuss. Make noise. At a bare minimum. write your senators. Go to town meetings. Make a fuss.

"No need to make this rally a referendum on the Confederate Flag."

Obviously you're saying no one should show a Confederate flag at the rally. That's rolling over. The media will make it all about the flag anyone, even if one person waves one. How about the State flags that feature Confederate symbols in them? Like Arkansas, North Carolina, Mississippi, Are those okay or not?

You need to understand at this point whatever President Trump does ... drink a glass of water, wave to someone, say something, adjust his tie a little to the right ... it will be criticized ... as we all will.

As long as there is ANY opposition to the neo-commies there will be hate filled screams from these animals.

Rebel flags or not.

The The Gadsden flag is one of the first REBEL FLAGS! That is why it is so popular.

Now watch some radical group hijack it as they did the Confederate Battle Flag.

So, rolling over equals not making the Trump rally in Tulsa about the Confederate flag. I disagree. I think the American flag is the symbol we should rally behind. That said, I do believe that there will be Confederate flags and probably other no-no flags there.

You see, I actually support the Confederate flag. I think it should stay on those state flags for the very reason it was put there in the first place. I’m in the Heart of Dixie and Dixie’s in the heart of me. The next two lines of that song are especially apt. But, I think it’s not helpful for the Trump campaign in a race that will be extraordinarily tight where suburban women are a key voting block. You think it will be helpful, or you have other goals for the rally, or some third option that doesn’t immediately reveal itself. We disagree.
