I just love this pic. It’s such a great pic of Sarah and JimRob. Genuine looks of admiration, one for the other.

“ If a large percentage of your fellow citizens disapprove of something, fine, just be civically polite and accept their offense and say, no, I’m going to respect you.”

So if I take a poll in which a vast majority of your fellow citizens want you to shut up, will you shut up?

Have they already dug up Lt. General Nathan Bedford Forrest CSA and his wife? I thought they were considering an ordinance and would still need further permission from a court or commission.

Forrest did not die until 1877 (from complications of diabetes).

Our country is so filled with gutless, brainless wonders nowadays, perhaps FR could cause the production and sale of Confederate battle flags with the net proceeds going to FR.

The Culture War was declared by the Left many decades ago.

Gee, funny how that flag flew for over 100 years down south and nobody complained. Not until we had a Marxist Community Agitator in the White House. Kinda odd huh ? Where were all the marches and complaints when Dukes of Hazzard was on TV ?

First, Dave, the left started the fight over Confederate memorabilia.

Second, this member of the Sarah Palin wing is sitting here waiting patiently with a smirk on his face to see how long it takes for this year’s hand grenade with a bad haircut to make you guys (up to and including Varys the Schmidt and Nicolle Wallace) send The E-Mail to Wasilla: “We were wrong. Do come back. All is forgiven.”

It was the Democrats who hung the flag in the first place.

I think that fight has already been 'picked'. Those who are the target of this cultural bullying are standing up and saying "Oh, Hell NO!".

But as long as I can remember, those who start it whine most loudly when they get their clock cleaned.

"I love that picture...and i have studied it carefully. There aren’t any Confederate Flags in that picture, so this article must be mistaken! LOL!"

The photo was taken in Kalifornica. Doesn't count.

“DAVID BROOKS: Well, I guess, in my view, the reason the flag should come down is just a matter of civic politeness. I have said this before on this program. If a large percentage of your fellow citizens disapprove of something, fine, just be civically polite and accept their offense and say, no, I’m going to respect you.”

Seriously David?

Their is a bazillion things we disagree with you on, and I doubt if the shoe was on the other foot, you'd be magnanimous. And frankly when we go to politely disagree we are basically told to shut up, in fact you want us to shut up and take it. Their are those that probably side with you on a host of issues that haven't been magnanimous at all and in the last 2 weeks, just keep on trucking...

When the leftist thugs want us to pay for their abortions and we disapprove, do they follow this advice?

When the leftist thugs want us to actively participate in their gay "marriages" and we disapprove, do they follow this advice?

When the leftist thugs want to register our firearms and we disapprove, do they follow this advice?

When the leftist thugs want us to welcome criminals who entered our country illegally and we disapprove, do they follow this advice?

It's time for this hypocrite to shut up; we didn't fall for this particular lie.

confederate flag DISTRACTION started at the White House after the Race War failed to start after the Church massacre


I agree and I can pretty confidently state that if this action doesn’t get the required reaction they will up the ante until they do get it.

The push-back to their goals is continually building up here in America. And since they see the end in sight they feel the need to push even stronger.

“Sarah Palin Wing”...

Has a nice ring to it.

In all due respect to the woman I call: ‘The American version of Margaret Thatcher’, the fight has been going on for some time. We the People just have not returned fire.

Until now.
