This has got to work. Soon, very soon, there will be no more racism.

Funny, before the 911 attack I knew near nothing about Islamist....now I could fill a book writing about them.

Before Obama, I didn’t have a racist bone in my white privileged body. I didn’t have racist thoughts, use the word nigger or give much thought at all about Blacks. The past 7+ years have been quite an eye opener.

Obama said that he would “fundamentally transform America”. He has done that......now what?

So WHO OR WHAT IS DRIVING THIS? The media and WHAT background force pushing this agenda?

Corporate America and leftists in public education.

“Obama said that he would “fundamentally transform America”. He has done that......now what?”

“A communist revolution is a proletarian revolution often, but not necessarily inspired by the ideas of Marxism that aims to replace capitalism with communism, typically with socialism as an intermediate stage. The idea that a proletarian revolution is needed is a cornerstone of Marxism; Marxists believe that the workers of the world must unite and free themselves from capitalist oppression to create a world run by and for the working class. Thus, in the Marxist view, proletarian revolutions need to happen in countries all over the world; see world revolution.”

Maybe this is a little off topic (and a little silly), but since they are now censoring the Dukes, I am now wondering if they are going to start looking at other older programs, like “Match Game” for example, still being shown on Game Show Network as we speak?

I can just see it now, these people in their hypersensitive ivory towers going through the episodes (particularly the ones made during the 1973 to 1978 Richard Dawson era) that contained somewhat racy, risqué questions Gene Rayburn would ask and would demand that they would be chopped out, so we would end up only seeing non offensive compilations of the show from then on. It’s bad enough GSN cut out the ticket and merchandise plugs and end credits (with Johnny Olson speaking) to squeeze in ad space. BTW, Gene Rayburn (RIP) was very much a devout Democrat in his day if I am correct to say that. How about others from that era like “Family Feud” or “Tattletales” that GSN would have to either censor or could not show at all now or in the near future?

Oh the liberals would go nuts (short trip). All sanity has been lost and it’s only going to get worse I’m afraid.

I see an opportunity here selling on eBay CSA flag stickers of the precise size to put on top of your flag-less Gen.Lee die cast toy car.

Maybe they’ll replace the stars and bars on the roof of the General Lee with a homosexual rainbow flag. That’s be kinda kicky, wouldn’t it?

I read something (MAD Magazine, maybe?) way back in the '80s and I think it was a parody of some loudmouth "comedian". Basically the deal was we weren't going to be saluting the Red, White, and Blue anymore, we were going to be saluting the pink, cream, and aqua.

Not during the time of this board, about the closest to it was the Red Scare of the 1950’s and 1960’s.

That was more prophecy than hysteria. In the long run, they've been proven right.

Dukes was a stupid TV show, but WB can go screw themselves.

It was, but it was pure fun. I was just the right age to enjoy the heck out of it. I was 10 when it hit the airwaves (okay, 9, but I turned 10 in the middle of the first season).

That's OKAY Warner Bros.
I'll purchase my battle flags of the Army of Northern Virginia elsewhere, thank you very much.
Might spend my entertainment money elsewhere, too.
