Complete Headline: Flying the Confederate flag over a U.S. state capitol building is like flying the Nazi flag over a synagogue

Is the writer’s name really “Stasi’, as in STASI? Staatssicherheits Dienst? The secret police of the DDR?

I thought that they would use trickier code names than this.

After they get rid of the Confederate flag, guess which flag they come for next?

Isn’t it amazing how the leftists coordinate their media attacks? It’s good to be king of the airwaves.

It’s more like the Homosexual Rainbow Flag is like flying the Nazi flag. They had much in common.

That is ridiculous. The two parties have reversed ideologies since the mid 19th century. The Democrats were the conservative Constitutional Party and the Republicans were the wild eyed abolitionist party.

So you comparisons are really dumb.

The Democrats were the conservative Constitutional slavery, Jim Crow, Klan, segregationist Party
