More Anthem Hypocrisy: Kneeling, Yes; Confederate Flag, No

In today’s politically correct schools, all types of divisive expression are equal, but some are more equal than others. A case in point is Wiregrass Ranch High School in Wesley Chapel, FL, where showing disrespect for the National Anthem is supposedly a “First Amendment right.” Wearing a Confederate Flag cape, however, is a violation.

The school recently made news because three students came on campus dressed in supposed KKK outfits and another draped himself in a Confederate Flag cape. It turned out that the three white-sheeted lads are minorities — two Hispanics and one “Middle Eastern” kid — which must have disappointed the race hustlers immensely. Anyway, some initially said the “KKK” outfits were ghost costumes, part of “Spirit Week” dress-up day. But then school superintendent Kurt Browning publicly announced, “Usually ghosts don’t have pointed hoods,” which I’m sure is true because ghosts don’t wear hoods at all. And while Browning perhaps has consorted with more ghosts than I have, I understand that ghosts also don’t have physical bodies. So it’s confirmed: those students could not have been ghosts. Hang them.

Hmmm. I don't have the same amount of experience with ghosts apparently as the superintendent does. Anyway, since "they" are trying to erase history, what difference at this point does it make? I remember a few years ago driving down I-4 to Tampa and on the southwest corner of the junction of I-75 and I-4, somewhere close to the interstate, was a HUGE confederate flag flying. Not sure if it's still there. As far a kneeling for the American flag------hopefully you're praying for it.

Should November 9 feature certain news, I expect to see many confederate flags flying around here.

[ThunderSleeps]

Hypocrisy thy name is liberal.

[rktman]

Why wait?

I’m surprised the SC electorate didn’t make that traitor Heley pay the price for her stupidity on the Confederate Battle Flag. It was always a phony issue, but being as dumb as a box of rocks she went along with the charade.

She should get her Kim Kardashian butt out of here and back to India.

[MichaelCorleone]

That’s Haley, as in Nikki Haley

[rktman]

Like “Bond. James Bond”?

[MichaelCorleone]

Ha! Good one.

That took me a minute to understand what you meant.

[rktman]

Well, that’s quicker than Mrs. rktman. LOL! She keeps reminding me that some people don’t “get” me and my odd sense of humor.

"...some initially said the “KKK” outfits were ghost costumes, part of “Spirit Week” dress-up day. But then school superintendent Kurt Browning publicly announced, “Usually ghosts don’t have pointed hoods,” which I’m sure is true because ghosts don’t wear hoods at all."

Not to worry, President Hillary R. Clinton will put an end to this!

Oh, wait...

Robert KKK Byrd

The Democrats made him leader of the Senate!
They referred to him as the 'conscience of the Senate'

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

In 1942, 24-year-old Byrd joined the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), whose parades in Matoaka, West Virginia, he had witnessed in his childhood. He was unanimously elected Exalted Cyclops, or leader, of his local chapter.[8]

Byrd, in his autobiography, attributed the beginnings of his political career to this incident, although he lamented that they involved the Klan.

According to Byrd, a KKK official told him "You have a talent for leadership, Bob... The country needs young men like you in the leadership of the nation." Byrd recalls that "suddenly lights flashed in my mind! Someone important had recognized my abilities! I was only 23 or 24 years old, and the thought of a political career had never really hit me. But strike me that night, it did."[4]

He participated in the KKK during World War II, holding the titles Kleagle (recruiter) and Exalted Cyclops [the top officer in the local Klan unit]. He did not serve in the military during the war, working instead as a welder in a Baltimore, Maryland shipyard, where he helped build warships.[citation needed]

Byrd commented on the 1945 controversy about racially integrating the military. Byrd, when he was 28 years old, wrote to segregationist Senator Theodore Bilbo, of Mississippi, vowing never to serve in such a military:

"Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.[5]"

He had earlier written "I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side".[6][7]

From the Washington Post:

"Byrd said in the Dec. 11, 1945, letter -- which would not become public for 42 more years with the publication of a book on blacks in the military during World War II by author Graham Smith -- that he would never fight in the armed forces "with a Negro by my side." Byrd added that, "Rather I should die a thousand times, and see old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.."..."

"during the general election campaign, Byrd's GOP opponent uncovered a letter Byrd had handwritten to Green, the KKK Imperial Wizard, recommending a friend as a Kleagle and urging promotion of the Klan throughout the country. The letter was dated 1946 -- long after the time Byrd claimed he had lost interest in the Klan. "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia," Byrd wrote, according to newspaper accounts of that period. Byrd makes no mention of the letter in his new book."

Democratic Sen. Robert Byrd, Ex-Klansman

by Michelle Malkin (March 8, 2001)

Ex-Klansman Robert Byrd, the senior senator from West Virginia, casually used the phrase "white nigger" twice on national TV this weekend. Enraged civil rights groups organized a protest campaign against Sen. Byrd and demanded that he undergo sensitivity training ... not.

The ex-Klansman, you see, is a Democrat. Democrats can join hate groups and utter the ugliest racial slurs and get away with it because they are Democrats. They belong to the party of racial tolerance and understanding. They're paragons of virtue, and the rest of us are bigoted rubes.

The ex-Klansman showed his true colors when asked by Fox News Sunday morning talk show host Tony Snow about the state of race relations in America. Sen. Byrd warned: "There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time. I'm going to use that word. We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and I'd just as soon quit talking about it so much."

Mentoring is important don’t ya know. I guarantee that being raised in Hope Arkansas slick willie more than once used the “N” word.

[SandRat]

Watch them all explode.

Wear the White Tunic of a CRUSADER. The one with the full chest size Cross in RED on it.

[rktman]

That would for sure be grounds for permanent expulsion. And a comment in your permanent record. ‘-)

[manc]

[SandRat]

Like I said, make LibTurd heads EXPLODE.

[rktman]

Nice. I always kinda got a little chuckle every time I saw it. Like I heard at a recent Lynyrd Skynyrd concert, “Heritage, not hate folks.”

[N. Theknow]

“Usually ghosts don’t have pointed hoods,”

Guess he never saw these guys:

[rktman]

Hmmmm. Kinda looks more like DJT’s hair “style”.

[ETL]

“Usually ghosts don’t have pointed hoods,” which I’m sure is true because ghosts don’t wear hoods at all."

But many of Obama's "sons" (thugs, bums, and cop haters) do.
