Taking down Confederate flag is not enough

Of course it isn't.

Nothing is, or ever will be.

Personally, I'm done trying. I won't be intentionally offensive, but my givvacrap is empty and my contempt tank has long since exceeded its rated capacity.

“Someone should explain to the appeasers that the liberal mind is never satisfied”

Yup, they never quit. This will all end badly I’m afraid.

Take down the damn flag. And then take down the systems of bias that helped create it.

Take down the "system". Uh huh. And replace it with what? And what "system" is it that Sally's actually talking about here?

Sally Kohn is an activist, columnist and television commentator.

Well, there we have it - our new ruling class, media all the way and glad to tell you what's right and how to run your life. Zip it, Sally, we've had enough.

Thanks Nikki and Gramnesty

I can understand Haley and the two SC Senators call for the removal, given the emotions involved in their state. But what really sealed the deal was that turd Reinse Priebus, Romney, and other national Republicans jumping in.

All they had to say was that the Governor of SC was handling the issue. And noted that the state Senator who was going to introduce a bill to remove the flag was going to do so in December, after everything had died down.

Nope, once the RNC jumped in, that opened the floodgates.

Sooner or later when we have had enough

I wish this were true. We live in a society of cowards and pussies that will be afraid of losing their government money if they speak out against this push. Government workers and foodstamps have done their job and bought the electorate. We on the other side are either going to have to be called radicals, fight, and be punished or bend over and allow the sodomy to continue.

I guess we could go dig up some old confederate soldiers and lop off their heads.

Here it comes and all you ‘conservative’ quislings are just as bad as they are.

OK, Mr. StormFront Troll. I suppose the next thing you're going to say is that the white "conservative" quislings and collaborators should wake up and form a powerful white political voice, right?

Thanks Nikki and Gramnesty.

These mass-media feeding frenzies don't last forever. Soon enough something comes along to attract the press's attention and they're off on that. And things are back to what they were before.

If you've got a lot emotionally invested in Confederate symbols, or if you're keeping very close score of victories and defeats, what's going on now may rankle, but for most of the country taking down the CBF after 50 years (or 150 years) isn't a big thing. It doesn't, for example, mean that Sally Kohn is going to be setting the national agenda.

Most of you are directly responsible for the Sally Kohns of the world. Every time you turn on lib network or buy a lib paper you are directly responsible for feeding the beast.

I’m sure Obama will name a Flag Czar now. Flags will be pre- selected for championing diversity. Anyone flying a designated Hate Flag will be immediately dealt with by the Dept of JUSTUS.

Kohn: To blame any of these statistics on individual black people's behavior, or the "culture" of the black community, only reinforces racism by blaming oppressed communities for their own suffering.

With this attitude, nothing will change.

No-—all media and “news” is to create the “proper emotions” in the masses.

This is targeted at all people in the Southern States ——the WHITE RACISTS-—if they do not clamor and follow the herd to dismantle the evil racist history and Traditions of the evil USA (as if Slavery isn’t ubiquitous in all non-Christian cultures today).

The fact is that all “flags” can be made to represent an “evil”-—that many Americans fought and died for that flag should give it respect since most people in the South never owned or had slaves and even “slaves” fought for that flag.

It represented States Rights——and not “slavery” although those states were slave states. But Truth and Traditions and History has to be REVISED and CHANGED for the useful idiots in the public indoctrination system so “happy slaves” can be pumped out.

It is all about Emotions-—Truth and Reason is being eliminated by Leftists as their push for total insane ideas “for the children” like homosexual “marriage”....LOL.

Your kids with their Zinnean brainwashing of 12 years will believe Vice is Virtue, Slavery is Freedom and USA is Evil——and Communism and the most vile nations in history are “Good” as “Uncle Joe”

It is all Control of Words and Language——the Leftists control all MSM today-—so all the proper emotions in the children are aroused and the useful idiots where they FEEL the USA is SO EVIL.........

They are trying to destroy all Traditions and ALL history so they can control all ideas of the little children so they become so irrational with the Lies and Misinformation (Zinnean ideology) that “snow is black”, Vice is Virtue, Men are Women——for their destructions of Reason and Logic and “happy slavery”.

Remove Truth/God/ Natural Law which creates Individualism and Natural Rights from God (Western Civ.)-—and you have irrational Lies and Socialism/Collectivism (Marxism). Children removed from parents and put into artificial indoctrination institutions will come out DUMB and have ARTIFICIAL understanding of LIFE—TRUTH.

No Davy Crocket or Lincoln or Ben Franklin or Autonomy or thinking outside the box is POSSIBLE with such mass psychological marketing of ideas where children are in artificial dehumanizing “schools” or in front of “screens” which shut down the integration of the brain.

"This is very predictable. The liberals are now.moving the goal posts. Now that they are cleansing us of the Confederate flag, it sets the stage for further actions.
The goal.posts are being moved. The liberals are still pissed off. Don’t think you can ever placate them. If you give in to today’s demands, all it does is set the stage for the next set of demands."

Like the orders at Bunker Hill: Hold fire until you see the whites of their eyes.
Leftists will always overreach. Always.
They depend on the civility of others to work their crap.
When the overreach happens, show no mercy. It will save a few generations from oppression by psychoses.

Sally Kohn is an activist, columnist and television commentator.

If they were more honest, they would add that she is a atheist leftist lesbian radical.
