If a murderer was gay...

If a murderer was gay - and had a picture of himself in front of a ‘rainbow flag’ posted on facebook - would the press be screaming to ban ‘rainbow flags’?

I don’t think so...

There is a nice large painting of a slave-owner in the House of Reprehensibles.

Well then, let Henry Clay’s statue be the first to be removed from the Capitol...

I’ll bet that if anyone shows up at a Tea Party rally with a Dixie flag they’ll be told to leave. If it’s a Dixie t-shirt they’ll be told to turn it inside out.

I’m really going to be pissed if they close down the Dixie Café.

I saw on the news earlier today on one of the networks about this kid who had become a follower of ISIS and had been destroying statues of Buda. No one saw the correlation.
