Gosh, this is starting to remind me of Mao’s “Cultural Revolution”.

FINALLY! Someone sees what is really going on right now!

Well, he almost had a political career.

The evil thing is that a joker like this guy looks at the electorate and makes a calculation as to whether this will help or hurt him.

He is either retarded or Kentuckyy has changed a lot since I last rolled through.

I could care less about a flag of the rebellion but if GOP politicos can’t quit dancing every time the Brown Shirt Media threaten them then we desperately need new leadership.

Satan has turned the GOP into a suicide cult lately.

They’re going to stop selling the racist flags....as soon as they sell all of their inventory.

I do support them dumping that annoying jughead currently impersonating Colonel Sanders on the KFC commercials. How annoying.

Kentucky wasn’t part of the Confederacy. How do they have a statue of Ol’ Jeff?

Breaking news: ISIS blows up ancient shrines in Palmyr Syria.

In other news, hard-line liberals vow to blow up ancient Confederate monuments in Kentucky, South Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, . . .

Both Lincoln & Davis were born in Kentucky and moved to other states in their childhood.

“Kentucky wasn’t part of the Confederacy. How do they have a statue of Ol’ Jeff?”

Davis was a native son of Kentucky and an early opponent of concentrating all government power in Washington.

There was a lot more slavery under the US flag than the Confederate flag, let’s ban it too.

Is the GOP-e really this stupid? Guess what? Ban the flag! Scrub General Lee’s and Jefferson Davis’s names from every building, monument or memorial. You know what difference it will make? NONE! The left called you racists yesterday, and they’ll call you racists tomorrow, and not a single, African American Obama voter is going to switch to the Republican party. Not one!

Oh well...it WAS a close race for Governor.

In the South, you get accustomed to people moving here from up North and then telling about you how they did things back home and how you're not doing things the right way.

I've learned that this is not appreciated and that there are some things you just leave alone, like Dixie history.

But, obviously, Matt Bevin is NOT a natural born Southerner.

He's a Northeastern transplant who moved to Kentucky in 1999.

And now Kentucky is doing things wrong.
