Years ago I stated here that if the leftist start with purging Southern symbols and statues they will end with purging the American flag and representations of Washington and Hamilton . Hamilton is scheduled to be struck from the $10 bill to be replaced with a female , minority if possible, figure. Eventually Lincoln's quite well known views on blacks will get him purged as well to make way fore who? Harvey Milk? Malcolm X? For the rest here are some pertinent paragraphs:

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.

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. ( https://s.yimg.com/fz/api/res/1.2/KQdtdO_._QetnsY1_hBskA—/YXBwaWQ9c3JjaGRkO2g9NTMyO3E9OTU7dz04MDA-/https://americanelephant.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/recovery-logo-3.png )

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?

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.

Until this past week the C.S.A. battle flag meant little more to me than a revelation of the ignorance and lack of reverence of so many Americans for their history. That has changed. The vileness and hypocrisy of late has given it a greater meaning to me. It now symbolizes my complete lack of respect and loyalty to our present federal government. "...and I won't be reconstructed, and I do not give a damn."

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.

When will we stop the re-writing of history to appease stupid people who have nothing better to do....this government pays these low information voters not to work...it is no wonder this nation shows such little pride in the real history of America. Most know little about Lincoln, his Republican party of the North...the actual facts of the War of Northern Aggression...or how that Republican party ripped off the Native Americans....that history has been all but obliterated as has American history, the real history.

And Jesus wept...........

Limbaugh predicted, would be the U.S. flag

Easy prediction looking at what has occurred in the recent decades. I personally do not need to rely on Limbaugh for reading tea leaves. More coming down the road and they certainly won't stop at the American Flag.

Flags are not the big booty they're targeting. There are bigger prizes. Flags, culture, history, education are just part of this incremental process. What they're seeking to plunder and eradicate will provide them with total control, which is their end goal.

To claim that the Confederate flag is a today's symbol of racism is merely another sign of a lethal progressive illness afflicting America.

” Confederate Flag Controversy May Be Just the First Battle ”

Battle? Was there a battle that I missed? All I’ve seen is a bunch of surrender ceremonies.

I just googled photos of the German-American Bund. Lots of Nazi flags, lots of American flags.

No matter how hard I looked I did not see a Confederate flag anywhere!

A photograph of the Confederate Flag held by a insane person certainly requires political use of an opportuity for deflection and redirection from his so called manifesto as his misguided murderous excuse;

Citing the score of assults and murders of completely innocent whites,”hispanics”, and asians, committed by black youths and their reason given for doing so was; The miss-reporting by MSN of the “cold blood killing of Treyvon Martin” .

As the POTUS who knew the facts kept silent . Doesn’t it ?
