The aftermath of the Charleston church massacre has been an interesting thing.
Following the nine killed by 21-year-old ninth grade dropout and troglodyte Dylann Roof at the Mother Emanuel AME Church last week, the people of that venerable South Carolina city have given the nation one of our more inspiring spectacles thousands gathering in prayer and demonstrating for unity and civility. Had the reaction of Charleston been the major story, the massacre disgusting and tragic as it was would have told us something good about the basic character of the American people.
Your author will go so far as to say Charlestons reaction has told us something true, as well about most of us, at least.
Unfortunately, most of us are not represented by our betters in politics, media and the cultural elite. Our ruling class missed the unity and healing in Charleston completely so anxious were they to make Roof the epitome of the knuckle-dragging white Southerner (and Republican, at that, though there is no evidence of his membership in the GOP) and present a teachable moment to the American people who foolishly believe despite the presence of a black president that America has not fundamentally advanced on race since the bad old days of Jim Crow.
The inevitable punishment for punishing Southern whites has been a central obsession of the Democrat party since Republicans began gaining ground from Texas to Virginia in the late 1960s demanded from Southern culture for Charleston didnt come first, however. First was a recitation of the Barack Obama parade of gun-control demands, not a single one of which would have prevented Roof from obtaining the weapon he used to kill the nine church members at Mother Emanuel.

Here in California there’s a couple of grade schools named for Robert E Lee and the PC gestapo is already demanding they be changed.
I’m hoping for ‘Che Guevara’, in honor of California’s new leftist latino overlords.
Read some of the language in the Bible regarding homosexuality. And think about what happens next week when SCOTUS makes sodomite marriage a constitutionally protected right.
Flags are just stepping stones. The Bible is the whole enchilada.
South Carolina must be renamed New Ghana and given over to African Americans.

So the tyrants in DC want to ban a rebel symbol of our southern heritage, while at the same time their terrorist rebel forces in Syria, are being paid with our tax dollars for their services in attacking a legitimate government.
Why would they object to Calhoun? He was a Democrat.
Gun ownership by anyone other than the police and military
Robert E. Lee was a Democrat before the war and one after the war. Why would they object?
Nearly every confederate officer was a democrat before the war.
