It’s hard seeing my Country go down like this.
Free Speech as long as it’s the accepted PC speech.

” It’s hard seeing my Country go down like this.

I just finished “The Silencing”—Kirsten Powers.

Very frightening what’s going on.

Time for parents to start a boycott of TVLands sponsors, and also of Macy’s stores.

Hit the leftist pigs where it hurts - in their wallets.

Contact every veterans organization you know of, as well as other organizations who are pro-America, and get them to sign-on to a national boycott.

Also let Macy’s know that they are toast. THe same for TV Land. They hate bad publicity and that is what we should give them as “leftist AMERICAN history-hating white liberals”.

Left is nothing more than hate clothed in a smile.

I never had a desire for a Confederate Flag.

Now I want one.

This entire banning everything is insane.

Makes you feel rebellious, doesn't it? :)

Why can’t they blur out the Confederate flag? It is done all the time. Why is that so hard to figure out?

Because in doing so it becomes obvious that they are censoring something for people's own good, and they will react to it negatively.

Removing the whole thing keeps such uncomfortable questions ("What's under that blur?") from being asked.

Un-Freakin-Believeable...

If their was a re-run of an ISIS sitcom the Rebels of Ramadi they wouldn't say a flippin' thing. The real flag to worry about is the ISIS Flag, the whole Country has gone Nucking Futs...

“I never had a desire for a Confederate Flag. Now I want one. This entire banning everything is insane.”

It’s mind boggling. Just for kicks, I went online and Googled: confederate flag quilt pattern

Amazing, but it appears that they’ve mostly been scrubbed. Links go to “page not found”. I did find some novelty fabric with all-over Confederate flags and tried to order it. I got the message, “This item is sold out.” So either it’s truly sold out, or has been pulled.

This country... I’m glad I’m old and won’t be around to see things at their worst. I already can’t take it.

Like when I watched an episode of Amazing America with Sarah Palin and saw pictures blurred out in Ted Nugent's house. I did not care and I expect most Americans of sound mind would not care about the Dukes of Hazzard getting a blur job now and then--just as long as they don't blur out the babes.

This whole flag thing has seriously jumped the shark.
If there was ever an "innocent" show, it was the Dukes Of Hazzard for sure.
Bo and Luke were just some good ole' boys, never meaning no harm.

My exact thought last night watching “Tyrant”.

Me either.

One of the advantages of being old is that we knew the best of it.

(I can’t think of another aging advantage right now)

Was meandering through Wally World tonight. The same Wally World that said they'd removed all available Rebel Flag merchandise from on-line sales.

I guess they forgot about the actual shelves, though. Picked up a brand-new-in-the-box MPC General Lee. Now, the pictures of the model on the box do not show the Rebel Flag on the roof, however, the back of the box showed it was included in the decals. I got it home, opened it up, and sure enough, it was there.

Paid $18 plus tax.

Once were good ol' boys
Never meant no one harm
We saw them on TV
Now they no longer PC
And it caused a shit storm

Straight, white and male
Had 'The Flag®' on their roof
That's all it takes to drive some crazy
And my friends here's the proof

At first they came
For the stars and the bars
But I wasn't a redneck guy
So I din't give a darn

Once were good old boys
Trashed and misunderstood
Let's fight these bastards
'Cause they'd take us ALL down if they could!

John Schneider is a Christian. He produced, if my memory serves me correctly, and starred in the movie, “October Baby”. He played the adoptive father of a girl who was an abortion survivor.

Remember the OUTRAGE when Ted Turner colorized old B & W Movies? The Artists were so upset.

Unlike you, I have a problem with CENSORSHIP, which is exactly what this is, is it not?

Well, nobody ever accused me of having a Sound Mind.
Maybe I misunderstood your point.

What is Wal-Mart going to do when a customers walks in wearing a Confederate flag tee shirt? Make him leave? Oh, wouldn’t *that* be good for business?
