“All This For A Damned Flag?”
Michelle Obama's Mirror ^ | 6-24-2015 | MOTUS

Posted on 06/24/2015 4:53:52 AM PDT by NOBO2012

Have you been following this flag controversy?

“Walmart, Amazon, eBay and Sears all announced bans on the sale of Confederate flag merchandise, amid an intensifying national debate over the use of the controversial flag.”

The confederate flag has been deemed to be a dog whistle and as such should be considered an offensive racial artifact. And since “we won” it must come down.

Even some of our more opportunistic astute presidential candidates have weighed in:

To quote a wise old black woman:

Michelle-Obama1

“All this for a damned flag?”

 

BTW: You can buy Hillary’s latest anti-racist campaign buttons here.

What intelligent adult would pose for such a photo? A pajama family. The WWII generation would rather die than to have posed like this.

Next up to ban: the Gadsden flag. I am awaiting someone to come and try to get it off one of my flag poles. (for the record, it flies to the right of the US Flag which is the correct way to do it)

You could feed a Russian army with the food they have in that photo.

Last nighthe racist jackasses on the Washington DC FOX TV affiliate (WTTG Channel 5) used this business as a convenient excuse to drag in some fake (looked as Indian as Elizabeth Warren, to me) Indian to blather about the Washington Redskins.

Again.

Because the issue is never the issue.

The issue is always The Revolution.

That is what the Confederate Flag “controversy” is leading to. Once the Confederate Flag is gone, they will use the same tactics get the Stars and Stripes. How many American Flags have been burned versus how many Confederate Flags have been burned? The honest answer to that question tells you which flag is hated the most.

Using the term "The Founding Fathers would have..." is going to become a "racist dog whistle", next...

It isn't the flag they hate per se. It is what it represents to them that they hate. White Western Culture and the people that made it.

The next big push from the leftwing communists will be to ban the Bible (the Word of God), or some of its parts...if SCOTUS rules against Him (which I expect).

God help us...

to me it is more about states’ rights. that is a viable concept - even more so now. i do buy that the battle flag is being used to divide - maybe there should be a contest for a symbol of the New South. strictly Southern of course. symbols are powerful things.

People wear Iron Crosses and (bikers) adopted the German battle helmet as prizes from a defeated enemy - not to honor the NSDAP or the Wehrmacht.

The battle flag of the Imperial Japanese Navy is sold everywhere and holy cow, the Japanese ethnically cleansed as much of southeast Asia (the Orient) as was humanly possible in their time.

The big lesson people are going to learn here is “enough” is never enough.

By the standards of the left, we need to purge the USA of every mosque and minaret, they are symbols of hate too .

Leftwing kooks/racists will always accuse others of what they themselves are doing. Typical Alinsky tactics. I loved South Park's parody...

“It isn’t the flag they hate per se. It is what it represents to them that they hate. White Western Culture and the people that made it.”

That’s why white quislings and collaborators had better wake up and stand up for white political power - right, Mr. StormFront Troll?

I am offended by that stupid gay rainbow flag! First of all it is an insult to God and to Christianity for the sodomites to coop the rainbow (the symbol of Gods promise) And secondly I see it as a symbol of hate towards those who hold true to a God based morality.

So Right On! Enough is never enough.
The commies will chalk it up as one more victory in their slow relentless cultural transformation of this country.

Better get your “Live Free or Die” flags while you can.

But then who really lives free anymore other than the hustlers of hate and retribution? PC has chained the rest.
