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

Posted on 06/19/2020 3:10:44 PM PDT by 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.


TOPICS: Miscellaneous
KEYWORDS: flags; nonsense; please; rebel; trumprally; vanity

Everyone loves a rebel such as William Wallace, Robin of Loxley, Jesse James, Cole Younger and many others.

But anyone else now found to have fought for the South (Except James boys and Cole Younger) is VERBOTEN!

How twisted our thoughts have become.

Caution: disturbing images.

Tyrants, and their foot soldiers, often begin as rebels. They broach no rebellion if they take power, however. The current confusion is a result of the Left exploiting the populace through life-long indoctrination in the schools, reinforced by the mainstream media, IMHO.

We’re in big trouble.

I just heard today from a friend who is a Civil War scholar/historian, and is also curator of a military museum. My friend has also published several books on the Civil War. He was asked to proof read an op-ed by two writers, to determine the accuracy of historical facts they wanted to include about a specific historical figure during the Civil War in South Carolina, as well as the history surrounding Juneteenth. He attempted to point out to one of the writers that the info he was offering on this historical figure could not be backed up with any actual historical documentation, but the writer told him it didn’t matter, and that he’d be including it anyway as a “feel good” story. Same problem with the Juneteenth topic. The writer wasn’t interested in the intricacies of the event. No actual facts...just fiction. My friend said he was just glad his name wasn’t on the op-ed, and that he has given up trying to help these people, because it doesn’t matter what the actual facts are anymore, it’s what the media and politicians make it out to be.

No worries Nikos, I seriously doubt that anyone is going to be allowed to hijack the President’s message this way.

I’d say there is a greater chance of seeing a Black Lives Matter sign at the rally than there is seeing a Confederate battle flag.

Wow...

Wow what?

You've let groups like BlackLivesMatter and Antifa dictate what is and isn't acceptable, and then you're unhappy that other people take issue with that?

The “protests” we are witnessing today are just the
application of the “Delphi Technique” applied to mass
gatherings, one can actually watch the ripples spread
out just as rings do on a pond. It’s a process used for
over a hundred years in socialist dictatorships across
the world...

It’s the exact same mindset now as the immigration wars here

Naive stupid good works Yankees mostly

They are as brainwashed as the leftist kids are

“If I can only prove how non racist I am I can click my heels and be back in Kansas Toto....with Ben Sasse in time for supper “

It’s hopeless

Being knee pads for Bush killed America as quick as the left has maybe quicker

Oh yes Republicans

Why shucks they will fix it...shore they will....

I guess you’re simply too ignorant to recognize the fact that A. Democrats in the 1800’s, e.g. Andrew Jackson, J.C. Calhoun, and later Grover Cleveland, were the exact opposite of what Democrats are today, and (more importantly) B. by joining in the crusade against Southern heritage, you (and not Confederates) are on the same side as Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and today’s Democrats. How does it feel being a puppet of Al Sharpton? He applauds your hatred of the stars and bars too.

Thanks for the insults. You illustrate exactly the division and discord I am describing.

This is a time when we should be putting aside petty differences so as to unify against our common foe. If you weren’t so emotionally overwrought right now you would see that I’m not telling anyone no, don’t wave that flag - I’m advising to think first of the consequences. If you weren’t so thick-headed you would see that I am not your enemy.

It’s not the opinions of the left that we need to concern ourselves with - their tiny brains are locked tight. But (like it or not) not every Republican or person who might be inclined to vote for Donald Trump likes that flag. Whether or not they hold that view legitimately or sincerely (in your view) is irrelevant - they do hold that view. They will likely vote accordingly. And alienating them is counter-productive. Trump needs every vote!

I know that you don’t like me - at this point I don’t particularly give a shit what you think. For the better part of 10 years you’ve slandered me and attributed false things toward me. I don’t hate the south. I don’t hate the CBF - heck I still have a souvenir flag that my daddy brought home from a scouting visit to Huntsville in 1961 when the Boeing Company sent him down in anticipation of the Saturn V project. Alabame was my home for several formative years and I am still fond of my time there.

I’m hoping that you’ll agree with me that reelecting Donald Trump is the most important consideration right now.
