WHY THE REGIME PICKED ON THE CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG AND NOT ROOF’S MANIFESTO

Because it was under threat of questioning and possible impeachment proceedings by its so called political opposition the regime needed to defer or stop any movement toward this. It was necessary to use a political device usually atrributed to Saul Alinsky but used by the nazi and commie’s like Stalin with the “Kulacks” through racial division.

Through the use of the “Bully Pulpit”. POTUS created persons engaged in felonious assults on authority who were black youths into; “Victims of an evil society” (thus approving their actions) out of whole cloth.

The regime began with the Zimmerman case which resulted in a series of assults by black youths on completely innocent whites,”hispanics”, and asians who were either targeted or wandered near or through black gang infested areas. The perpetators excuse; The reported “cold blood killing of Treyvon Martin because he was black”

It led to a score or more deaths and serious injuries which were treated as local news ignored and forgotten. And it was met with silence while this was happening. Neither the locqatious POTUS or his political opposition uttered as much as a “Now!,Now! or a “tsk!,tsk!”. That also includes an Austialian young champion runner who was murdered while jogging near a black area. There were about a score (20) or more of such incidents.

Those killings were referenced by the Charleston Church massacre perpetrator in his crazed manifesto.

Naturally when it was discovered that mention of those score of murders were used in this nut cases’s “manifesto” the reaction was....“Well we can’t let that out.

Oh ! His face book has him holding a Confederate battle flag, (Which to many is simply an ensign of protest and rebellion), that must be his excuse “The Confederates made him do this horrible act ! Let’s get them !” Well they’re doing a good job of perverting what that battle flag’s reresents at the same time ignoring the regimes complicity in engendering those previous racial incidents.

In South Carolina case (pix) its use was resurected by by its governor Ernst Hollings who had it raised about the capitol dome as a protest against desegregation. Because of that miss use there is some justification in taking it down.

“Everything the left does turns into a hateful smear campaign. It’s all they’ve got.”

Agreed. But unfortunately it works for them. With special thanks to the MSM.

Budapest has a Memento Park which has all of the old Soviet statues.

It is quite popular.

I guarantee the American left wouldn’t even allow something like that.

We are being taken over by lunatics-—and we’ve let it happen.

I would disagree that it has turned into a hateful smear campaign. It was a hateful smear campaign the git-go!

“In case anyone needs a reminder, remember how the left has treated:
former President Bush”

I have zero sympathy for George W. Bush. He refused to defend himself and his administration moderate to liberal policies, much less the conservative principles of his supporters. To this day he refuses to criticize Obama. It seems like every time he appears in public he is running around with bill Clinton.

Bush set up Obama. His policies (huge deficits, no child left behind, Patriot Act, establishing Department of Homeland Security, free trade, TARP, lax border enforcement, amnesty) were a disaster for the country.

When is the rainbow fag flag going to be painted on top the General Lee?

If Roof had posed with the Rainbow flag, Charleston would have been a footnote.
