Whoa: this is how the slain pastor felt about the Confederate flag (Voted FOR the Flag Display!)

Matthew 5:9 says “Blessed are the peacemakers” and it would appear Pastor Clementa Pinckney was definitely one of those.

While the mainstream media is decrying the fact that the Charleston shooting victim’s body was carried past a Confederate flag today, the good pastor may not have found it all that offensive.

In 2000, during his first term in the South Carolina State Senate, Pinckney actually voted in favor of H5028, the May 2000 compromise which placed the flag at its current location.

H5028 related to THE PERMANENT PLACEMENT OF THE UNITED STATES FLAG, THE SOUTH CAROLINA STATE FLAG, AND THE SOUTH CAROLINA INFANTRY BATTLE FLAG OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA

True enough. You would think there would be more remembrances through public prayer, well that is if the PC crowd weren’t all in on destroying Christianity.

Luckily for the American left there are examples of how to do this kind of thing correctly.

This and the thread about a black being the first slave owner in the US might be the reason anti-flag articles are being taken down on the internet. I only found 2 articles on the yahoo home page where yesterday it was being over run by them.

He was with them for an hour! He didn’t because he’s a cowardly little chickensh*t. Yes, he does. By firing squad or hung until dead. When I think about how much I wish that just one of those people would have had a gun, I really want to bang my head on the wall. They are safe with the Lord, but still.

That would not advance the Marxist agenda.

It wouldn’t matter. That was then, and this is now, they would say.

Is that the best retort you can come up with?

Substitute one of those folks (absent any actual manifest crime) and then answer the question.

That’s why they love compromise. They can can take half today and the other half tomorrow.

A compromise which had the flag taken down and put where it is today.
They want it removed totally now.

Homosexuals wanted civil unions and a compromise was made.

They wanted marriage a year later.

Just two instances where the left never gives in and always goes back on their word.
Sad part is our side are just too stupid to understand this, hell not one o them can stand up and tell the media the facts about the KKK, the flag, and slavery.

The Devil’s work is never done. Satan’s time is short and there is much mischief yet to make.

The leftist just pull ammunition out of thin air, burn the flags, raze the monuments, rename the streets, forts, schools, etc., the leftist will be back at it next week with more whining, complaining and outrage.

The good pastor wasn't killed by the Confederate Flag. He was killed by a lunatic. The Confederate Flag has absolutely nothing to do with Roof's crime. 99% of all Southerners are sickened by that act, even those in favor of flying the flag... in favor, because they recognize that in flying it, they are merely honoring the brave people of the South who died in that awful war.

That doesn't mean that they are going to be inspired by the Stars and Bars to pick up a gun and start shooting up churches full of black people next week. In fact, the very notion that they might is just plain idiotic. Why would they?

Ask the Left: Are you going to ban everything a lunatic likes or believes in, even if what he thinks the thing stands for is pure delusion, the twisted imaginings of a ranting madman? If so, prepare for some of your most cherished symbols, institutions and traditions to be banned as well.

What about Old Glory. The KKK marched carrying it.

Time to go?

“I wonder if anyone has told the screamers of the Left-Wing Media, and the Obamunists about this?”

If they know, they will ignore, like always.

“..The ONLY thing he seems to have opposed was a “Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act”. “

That’s sad.

It was a compromise...

Seems like, when it comes to honoring a political deal, the homies are all Welsh.

Yes, exactly.

Remember what, in a moment of giveaway candor, the old radical said 40 years ago: "The issues are never The Issue. The Revolution is The Issue."

O goodness... I think he is too pretty for a quick death.. Send him to prison, drag it out and keep him pretty there. I know that is truly un- Christian of me and I bet the pastor would not agree... Isn’t their an apartheid system in the prison he cold work on?

News cycle? JouroList/WH on/off switch?

I sometimes imagine a "news producer" sitting in the White House at a huge console like a music producer's at a recording studio, running the slide switches up and down and bringing in other "themes" and "memes" in order to create his daily screeds for distribution to the JournoList as "Talking Points" ..... and varying the themes to fatigue his enemies with something like metal fatigue, when you bend a strip of metal back and forth until it breaks.
