Obama has succeeded in starting a second civil war.

So when do we ban the sodomites and their supporters from wearing the sodomite rainbow flag on school property, and public schools having “gay/straight alliance” days?

Heck, if it really is a disruption, why can’t someone just say, as did the mayor of Baltimore, to just give them room to destroy (someone’s little perpetually offended feelings)?

Remember when gays activists only wanted to be de-criminalized and they didn’t want civil unions or marriage or foster/adopted children?

Remember when the government promised that your social security number could and would only be used for social security and it would be prohibited from being used for anything else?

Remember when...... the lists of the past are many.

But what about our sides’ gullibility?

My friends argue for the federal government being able to tell a private employer who can and cannot be employed. Anyone who thinks that will be implemented as its supporters intend is really gullible.

He tweeted a picture of him and his family, with the caption “Headed to see my lawyer”, though that may be a paraphrase of the actual verbiage. Many are now suspecting it was a designed act for the sole purpose of suing.

“Does this mean that soon I’ll be unable to drive on federal roads outside my state?”

In Virginia (courtesy of our capetbagger scumbag governor) they recently recalled “sons of confederate veterans” license plates.

So, yes, that is exactly what will happen

Well then I have another reason for thanking God that I’m quite content to be where I am and foresee no reason to leave anyway.

“Obama has succeeded in starting a second civil war.”

It certainly looks like he has been preparing for it. If he is preparing, part of it would be to destroy symbols of any previous rebellion.

Taking up arms against the duly elected government and in Lees case as an officer of the United States Army betraying his oath of allegiance.

And so do I. Any government money that school gets comes out of my taxes and I don’t want the Stars And Bars on the property. We have one flag in America, paid for in blood time and again, The Stars And Stripes.

It is called “selective outrage”. There are other Confederate flags you can fly and no one will even notice, not even if you go to a college campus.

But then, there are foreign flags which will outrage them because they look too much like the Confederate battle flag.

“””So, you’re saying that in you’re in favor of banning the wearing - by private persons (library patrons, etc.) - of politically controversial symbols while on public property (e.g., while visiting a library or police station)?”””

Actually just the opposite. I’m saying that the school is public place like library. Thinking that they can ban the symbol in the school means they must also think they can ban it in the library.

Have they held a vote to see if that’s what the majority wants?

I am relieved to hear that. Unfortunately, I can imagine some people (fortunately, not here at FR) using that same argument to ban the wearing or display of "offensive" symbols on all public lands (nat'l parks, police stations, libraries, etc.).

Regards,
