Radio commentator Rush Limbaugh theorized on his program that the push against the Confederate flag was part of "an effort to marginalize the Republican electoral strength in the South." He argued that the flag was not really the issue; rather, it was "really an attempt to segregate and isolate the entire South and to [quote Saul] Alinsky, you know, the [author of] Rules for Radicals — you seek the target, you isolate it, you attack it, you humiliate it." The reason the Left hates the South so much, he noted, is because it is "the last remaining Republican electoral stronghold in terms of presidential politics."
The next target, Limbaugh predicted, would be the U.S. flag, which he explained symbolized a country that those on the Left do not like. And he didn't hold out much hope that Republican politicians would fight for the American flag when that attack comes.
In fact, the attack on the country's flag has already begun. A group of university professors have circulated a letter in support of leftist students at the University of California-Irvine who want to ban the U.S. flag on their campus.
"U.S. nationalism often contributes to racism and xenophobia," claimed a letter obtained by the website Campus Reform. Hundreds of left-wing professors from across the country signed the letter, commending the students for their "courage." In a bow to cultural diversity, the U.C.-Irvine student government association recently voted 6-4 (with two abstentions) to remove the U.S. flag from a campus lobby. Breitbart quoted an unnamed student who said the student government association feared the flag might hurt the feelings of illegal aliens.
DUH ALERT
They are talking about digging up confederate graves and tearing down monuments like the Taliban
The question is, will anyone fight back?
be an ‘outcast’ and believe ‘their lies’
Hearing Gettysburg National Battlefield has banned the Confederate flag from their gift shops.
honest, Geron, know your kiddings ... they will erect monument to the talibunnys.
The attack on the American flag will come in the form of “let’s create a new flag that better represents the diversity of America”.
When recovery.gov introduced its new logo back in the early days of the Obamanation, I thought that would be our new flag by 2016.

Note that it includes symbology for agriculture (3 plants sprouting), industry (gears), and the state (a field of stars that is incomplete). They sure do seem like a contemporary sickle, hammer, and star don’t they?
lol
They might, you never know
Wondering when someone is going to notice ho is carved into Stone Mountain...
does a flame mean fire? media will say 'there is no fire!'
when Audy went away ... Someday never came! Thank God for Audy!
The Confederate Flag controversy is a false flag controversy. The Left would love to have the Confederate Flag be the fault instead of them. THEY, the American Left were the driving force behind the heinous crimes associated with the Confederacy, and THEY want the flag to take the blame for their shame.
Their history is what they want to ban. They want the slate cleansed of their evil so they can continue on unabated.
Nikki Haley and Caitlin Graham are to blame for caving so quickly. They should have just said nothing and let it pass.
never seen ‘this light’
oh ... come on ... let it piss!
am ‘okay’ with your tag ... tonight am fine ...
I keep hearing these ‘calls’ to remove the flag or other Cw paraphernalia from Haley, Graham,etc., but has anyone stood up to say ‘no’?
Is there any defiance? They should be signaling to Haley and Graham that they’re number one, if you get my meaning.
Or better yet where to stick their tyranny.
rafters?
