“All This For A Damned Flag?”

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:

“All this for a damned flag?”

 

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

The word “White” is liberal dog whistle - Marxist boogeyman. You can nowadays easily tar the Western Values movement by adding the word “White” and most people will recoil in terror

I’ve got a stars and bars t-shirt that reads Heritage Not Hate wonder if I should wear it this week?

A few years ago when that Malcolm X movie came out and fans of Malcolm were wearing t-shirts featuring a big X, some guys were wearing t-shirts reading, "you wear your X and I'll wear mine" above a Confederate battle flag.

You phrased it more eloquently than I could.

What??? The post war 40s and 50s ads and features were FILLED with nerdy, kitchy, corny, white-bread family media and private photos! I collect them...and I MISS them. Those were the days!

Sorry, Edward R. Murrow did not pose in pajamas in his kitchen with Soviet posters in the background. Ordinary actors might pose in pretty nightclothes and Betty Furness might have sold fridges but generally news people and white house employees stayed clear.

I've lived in Michigan all my life. It's become very obvious that the Confederate flag enrages the left, and as such will soon be all but unavailable. One flag maker has already announced it will discontinue it, several store chains have denounced it, and Ebay will no longer allow it to be listed.

For these reasons, I'm buying SEVERAL of them today...and as an extra "eff you"...I'm getting them on Ebay because they haven't actually pulled all the existing listings.

Oh, and if there was a Confederate flag with “F#CK OBAMA” written across it, I would buy several of those as well.

[who knows what evil?]

First they came for the Confederate flag...

These retailers are hypocrites...the faggot rainbow flag offenders millions of Americans, but you won’t see these retailers removing THEM from inventory...no siree!

South Carolina has shown the country how we can live in harmony and forgiveness in a post-racial world.

The MSM/DNC cannot survive in that kind of world and so the must make the whole of the issue about a symbol of the past.

If they earned the prize, then more power to them. But for most, it’s stolen honor.

[xzins]

Only if they fought under it. We should be using the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution as originally presented with its 10 amendments, The Northwest Ordinance, and The articles of Confederation as symbols of state’s rights.

[Leep]

If the Confederate flag is such a symbol of hate, that apparently drives otherwise sane individual into a murderous rage, then why did they sell it in the first place>?

You know what symbol offends me is the Obama logo, Hilary logo, Democrat donkey, NBC Peacock....

Sheeple. (the basic support structure for the main stream media).

The PURGE has already gone well beyond “a damned flag”.

One Ft. Smith Arkansas school announces that the song ‘Dixie’ will no longer be played at any school event.

Statues related to the Confederacy across the South under attack to be taken down or moved.

Politicians in various states are participating in the PURGE: Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama, South Carolina are just a few. Today, likely more will find objects to be offended by.

Commercial entities have jumped onboard: Walmart, Sears, etc.

Ironically, online sales of related items are soaring — 2600% for some items.

This newest dust-up is turning out to be one of the greatest successes for the progressives/Libs, and they are getting Republican politicians to lead the charge.

Now that these stores have appointed themselves custodians of the public morality they will be publically hounded to do more.

[Darth Reardon]

There are people in this country who see the American flag as a symbol of hate, racism and tyranny. They will assault it next.

I'm thinking they go after the Cross.

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

Altura, Conscience is a Stalinist leftist that has infiltrated Free Republic. Congratulations Altura for making the Conscience fraud get his panties in a wad. The left is so easy to tweak -- lol.

CC you are such a liar. You people on the left are incapable of reason. You are all driven by hatred of theU.S. Constitution, individual rights and Liberty.

CC you and your comrades on the left worship at the Alter of State Power.

Go back to the DUmp you fraud.
