The left is on to this now because they couldn’t foment riots in Charleston.

After every mass shooting, there's always a call to ban something, usually guns. This time, a gun ban was pretty much off the table yet something must be banned! How about Confederate flags?

I don't really give a hoot about Confederate flags one way or the other but the whole thing is silly.

They’re already pushing to rename Lake Calhoun in Minnesota. I’m guessing Calhoun county Michigan will also end up on the list.

If we just get rid of that confederate flag, we will all get along and Obama will become a great unifying leader. /s

If we just get rid of the City of Chicago flag, murders in Chicago will drop and black on black crimes, which result in the overwhelming majority of murders in Chicago will just stop and everyone will love each other.

If the Confederate Flag is the source of violence in South Carolina, then the Chicago Flag is the source of violence in Chicago.

Time to get rid of the Chicago flag.

The murdered nine in Charleston are already forgotten.
 
Of course - the dead are of a group the left absolutely loathes - Christians. But it doesn't stop them from using their deaths for the gain of their agenda.

There is one thing we all need to understand: Southerners, Christians, conservatives and Americans are all deep - I mean deep - behind enemy lines.

Meanwhile in Iraq ISIS is selling 12 year old Christian girls into sexual slavery...

And Iran continues its march unabated towards nuclear weapons.

So, this is all a distraction -- this "battle" over the Confederate flag.

Meanwhile the very BASTARDS that were elected to STOP OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS are turning their backs on those who elected them, and selling us downriver to the Chinese and cheap Asian labor via the TPP.

It is getting near the time to having a tar, feathers and hanging party for each and every one of the corrupt sons a bitches in Washington DC. They're pushing this country to the brink and they may damn' well regret it.

Democrats have always been symbolism over substance.

The party of the KKK trying to cover their tracks.

I bought my first Confederate flag and the Mississippi flag today. Keep agitating Obama and I may buy another gun.

Down the memory hole goes another part of the American culture. The hole is filling up pretty fast these days. Liberal will need to keep digging the hole deeper to fit more stuff.

I think they have been FUMING about how the families and relatives spoke the other day...polar opposite of what the left wants to get out of this...one pours water, the other...gasoline.

Thank You!

With innocent people being burned in cages, drowned in cages, crucified and beheaded by vicious people who greatly want to bring the same crap to OUR country: I can’t believe that we are arguing about an ancient battle flag, or the name of a sports team.

We need to remember what is probably facing us.

I won’t post the images of what I believe is facing us, if we don’t get on point; I don’t think that negative stuff is Useful.

I think we have to quit complaining about stupid stuff, and pay attention to what really matters.

So, I’ll post this, and hope that we forget the ‘stupid stuff’ and remember who we are; because knowing and remembering Who We Are is the only thing that will save us:

Which is so very different from the southern states which started the civil war because of their desire to maintain the enslavement of black people. The Confederacy tore the nation apart and caused over 600,000 deaths. All because the south wanted to keep slaves. You know, black people - some of whom were Christians - who they would whip, rape, and sell. But, hey, that's so much different than ISIS who whips, rapes, sells... oh, never mind.
