You got a problem with FACTS.

No, boredom. What does that have to do with what we were discussing?

WHY THE REGIME PICKED ON THE CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG AND NOT ROOF’S MANIFESTO

Because it was under threat of questioning and possible impeachment proceedings by its so called political opposition the regime needed to defer or stop any movement toward this. It was necessary to use a political device usually atrributed to Saul Alinsky but used by the nazi and commie’s like Stalin with the “Kulacks” through racial division.Through the use of the “Bully Pulpit”.

POTUS created persons engaged in felonious assults on authority who were black youths into; “Victims of an evil society” (thus approving their actions) out of whole cloth.

The regime began with the Zimmerman case which resulted in a series of assults by black youths on completely innocent whites,”hispanics”, and asians who were either targeted or wandered near or through black gang infested areas. The perpetators excuse; The reported “cold blood killing of Treyvon Martin because he was black”

It led to a score or more deaths and serious injuries which were treated as local news ignored and forgotten. And it was met with silence while this was happening. Neither the locqatious POTUS or his political opposition uttered as much as a “Now!,Now! or a “tsk!,tsk!”. That also includes an Austrialian young champion runner on holiday here in the US who was murdered while jogging near a black area. There were about a score (20) or more of such incidents.

Those killings were referenced by the Charleston Church massacre perpetrator in his crazed manifesto.

Naturally when it was discovered that mention of those score of murders were used in this nut cases’s “manifesto” the reaction was....“Well we can’t let that out. Oh ! His face book has him holding a Confederate battle flag, (Which to many is simply an ensign of protest and rebellion),that must be his excuse “The Confederates made him do this horrible act ! Let’s get them !”

Well they’re doing a good job of perverting what that battle flag’s represents at the same time ignoring the regimes complicity in engendering those previous racial incidents.

Sad to see our history being destroyed. The North won and yet still the anti-American Nikki Haley, Romney, and others want to further destroy and redefine history and stick it to the Southerners, thus further dividing this country. It is not just the flag, it is also our battlefield, statues, etc.

The attacks on the flag and other Southern symbols is just like the attacks by the Bolsheviks during the Russian Civil War. Even after the Bolsheviks won, anybody caught with a White Army battle flag or other items linked to the Whites, was horribly murdered. Every flag was to be destroyed, thus very few White battle flags remain.

The ravings of Nikki Haley, including her sick insinuation that the flag caused the church murders, gave the Left further ammunition to expand their attack on the South. Judging from her comments afterward, she always hated the flag, had been waiting just for this moment.

But millions of us Yankees stand with the right to fly the flag and leave the bodies of confederate dead alone.

You would think that Boehner and McConnell would use this to hammer Democrats as being being responsible for the flag in the first place, but noooooooo...

They are to weak and afraid to say bad things about their "friends across the aisle," them though Democrats wouldn't hesitate one second before pouncing on Republicans.

That's why that red-the map is such a wasted opportunity.
