In a preview clip from his interview with CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Speaker of the House Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) said there will be a debate about removing the Confederate flag from national cemeteries in Congress but in his opinion the flag “should be gone.”

He’s a damn yankee. Why would anyone be surprised? On top of that he’s in the party that punished the South for exercising their rights. See my tagline.

obama has banned Christian ministers saying God bless at services at Arlington. Where are you on that Boehner?

[JohnnyP]

Sorry, I couldn’t resist the opening. :)

It’s Alan Ladd, in Shane:

Our leader....lol.

Reagan’s biggest mistake was to make Bush his VP.

He had to have been forced to put Bush on the ticket.

I ordered some Confederate stuff from Cooter’s. Their webpage says there were over run with orders and they’ll ship my order as soon as they can. Boner will be getting one of the Dixie postcards I bought. The message will be something about him being a coward and a drunk.

I haven’t seen that movie in years.

Ladd sure could twirl his gun around, couldn’t he?

Nathan Bedford's first Maxim of American politics: all politics in America is not local but ultimately racial.

John Boehner is acting true to form. He is faithfully serving the wishes of his constituents. His constituents? The lobbyists on K St. who lobby on behalf of Wall Street. These constituents have no interest in matters of principle they are interested in issues of profit.

They are interested in open borders to depress wages and increase profits; They are interested in trading American jobs for cheap imports to sell at a profit; They are not in favor of free markets but favor the profits to be associated with crony capitalism; They are not interested in reforming regulations for all but favor building barriers of entry to protect their profits; they are not interested in the culture war they are interested in profits.

So John Boehner considers the issue of the Confederate flag and asks, what do my constituents want? They want the music to play on. Who will fund our campaign coffers if we resist the mob on the Confederate flag? Virtually no one. What will our constituents say when the media denounces me as a racist? They will regard me to be radioactive and seek another mouthpiece in the House of Representatives. What's in it for me to act on principle? Nothing.

What makes these guys different than Democrats again???

[Salamander]

Maybe they’ll give Arlington Cemetery back to Lee’s descendants.

This guy is why Trump is leading in the polls.

“The Civil War Revisited” (the largest CW reenactment West of the Mississippi, held in the home FR) should be interesting this year...blank grey Confederate flags?!?!

The Confederate battle flag should be in a museum.

Yeah, I keep hearing about that museum thing. Seems like there is are enough well-endowed history museums available to receive every Confederate flag or monument that the leftists want to tear down.

Or not.

[GailA]

Maybe he meant National Parks. I don’t know of any Cemeteries that allow it on a daily basis. Even the US Flag is on a flag pole in the Veterans section.

This is the only hit Google brought up

Unless Confederate soldiers are buried there. The Confederacy was a LEGALLY SEPARATE COUNTRY when these men died. If you follow this logical course, then no American flags should be flying over the cemetery in Normandy. They should only fly the Fernch flag.

I’m trying to feel sorry for the outraged people that are just mortified over the actions of bhoner. But when I realize that many of them were front and center backing the POS and demanding he be reelected because the freshman powerless democrat ‘was worse’, you know what? I can’t seem to.

We told them. We showed them facts. We showed them his very words he intended to WORK WITH Obama. They called us America hating Obama lovers in return.

Let them suffer the consequence of their actions.

Lincoln wanted to keep the Union together using slavery to do so.

History repeating itself. This isn’t about the Flag. It’s about the South and the Confederate Flag is a tool, just as slavery was a tool. Next step-removing markers from every Confederate grave in a National Cemetery. Then exhumation and relocation.

[Lisbon1940]

Be careful with that logic since a lot of brave Germans also died on D-Day.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

Exactly, but don’t worry about me, it isn’t MY logic. :-)
