All the others said basically the same thing but they're pinpointing Ted Cruz? Why would that be, do you think? And do you have to be mentally retarded or deranged to write for one of these sites?

[JohnBrowdie]

the MSM never misses an opportunity to reinforce the false narrative it has created about Ted Cruz being a bug eyed zealot and more than just a little unstable.

it’s despicable.

[cripplecreek]

So have they asked Lindsey Graham?

[Reno89519]

Cruz makes a great poster boy for non-answers. He and others now on the Confederate flag. Love the note, whine. He’s done the same on illegal alien amnesty. If he was to be a winning candidate, a leader, he needs to offer clarity, not non-answers. No sympathy to him and is coy games.

As a youngster I would ponder the notion of a strong central government vs. state’s rights. I fully understand that concept today. The Founding Fathers warned of the former and were advocates of the later. We see which ‘notion’ won out over the years. Follow the money trail.

Who’s symbol?

The Dem’s own the Klan and they own the gun control laws designed to keep Blacks disarmed.

[ozzymandus]

Check the author’s name. Who knew Vikings could write?

[Politicalkiddo]

Except that it was Democrats who made that flag and died for that flag.

The Confederate Battle Flag is a Democrat flag.

[Secret Agent Man]

Umm that is the symbol of Southern Democrats, if anyone.

History revision abounds.

The Southern Democrats went after Republicans down there with the same viciousness as blacks.

To try to pin it on Republicans is the biggest joke I’ve ever heard.

History is history. The stars and bars exist. They are part of history. How you feel about it is immaterial. You don’t get to erase it because you don’t like it.

The only reason why the confederate flag became an emblem in the south is because of the Dixiecrats using it in 1948.

[Nuc 1.1]

Our would be masters think themselves so powerful that they can dictate what a state flag must look like. Soon, they will want us to line the roads and cheer as they pass by in their motorcades. Those of us not cheering robustly enough will be sent to re-education camps, where we will be... processed. Screw them.

[Dr. Sivana]

The author’s point that there is no unbroken tradition of that flag is irrelevant to Cruz’ point, which is that South Carolina gets to select her own flag. All the window dressing doesn’t even touch that argument.

[Yosemitest]

LIBERALS NEVER QUIT with their attacks of SYMBOLISM OVER SUBSTANCE !

These stinking LIARS always divert from the truth that Obama is EVIL and is a FASCIST.
They don't DARE debate the FACTS that their leader is a LIAR !
Booker T. Washington nailed the truth about them long ago.

Take a look at Booker T. Washington on Black Victimhood.
This is a very important fact THAT IS NOT BEING TAUGHT TODAY !

A number of black “leaders” (e.g., Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton) have made their living by promoting black victimhood and white guilt.
Jesse Jackson has been shaking down corporations with the scam for decades.
Booker T. Washington (1865–1915) warned of such people within the black community in his 1911 book My Larger Education.
He described them as “problem profiteers”:

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public.
Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs
– partly because they want sympathy
and partly because it pays.
Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances,
because they do not want to lose their jobs.”
(p. 118)

Which just goes to show some people have the presence of mind to know when to STFU about something. :-)

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

On the upside, while these retards waste their time worrying about the Confederate flag, it takes away some of the energy they could have used to attack something actually important.

Hrafnkell Haraldsson

Seriously??? Is that a real name???

[wastoute]

I agree with the vanity earlier. That despicable flag of a corrupt society and it’s criminal government should not be tolerated in the US and anyone displaying should receive all the legal harassment which they have richly earned. The Mexican Flag should never again be seen on US soil!

[M Kehoe]

What is a “Hrafnkell?”

Thanx.

We have known and have discussed over the last year that expected to see that liberal news jockeys would fire away at Cruz every chance they got and that it would be relentless.

This is just beginning.

The good news is that as these liberal spinsters ratchet up the intensity of their focus on Ted Cruz, he gets more and more name recognition and then when people see the real him, they can’t understand why there is so much hostility shown towards him because he’s eminently likable, funny, incredibly articulate and informed, and hugely inspirational. The grassroots are left shaking their heads wondering “why is the Ted Cruz I see and like so much so much different than the one these news commentators keep writing about?”

The general answer to this gross disconnect is that liberals hate and fear Ted Cruz. That’s the good news.
