Hey, Pappy. I hear you.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Is this flag racist?

What about this one?

Both are RUSSIAN flags.

What’s funny is that 99% of the people doing this belong to the party of the Confederacy.

Liberals and progressives are governed by their feelings. Not by thought and logic and absolutes.

The Confederate flag issue is but one example of this.

Great Article, thank you for posting it

Great article, only issue is that Woodrow Wilson isn’t worthy of licking dog poo off Puller or Patton’s shoes...

An excellent article.

PROGRESSIVE = REPRESSIVE

[Berosus]

I found it reassuring last year when I visited the remote part of Georgia where my daughter lives, and a few Confederate flags were still flying from flagpoles.

Yawn. This is lost cause, unnecessary distraction. The south lost, the nation survived, move on. Those promoting this BS (flame me), often have agenda that ignores the reality of it all. Couching it in terms of family heritage, etc., doesn’t hold water. And saying it all has nothing to do with racism and all, doesn’t work either. All signs of the confederacy are moving to the museum. Help that occur with dignity, else it likely is going to just disappear.

He forgot that idiot Halley, ie bend over Rinos

The South is a nation with its own views. Granted it is a flag the US fought against but a nation with diverse opinions is not
racist, an ideology can be racist, ie democrats

The one making
war on the confederate flag in name
of racism
are
bigots

Evil is running America.

"There is a dangerous trend infesting this country like malignant cancer cells. Anyone on the left who feels triggered or psychologically injured by a book, a speaker, a statue, a monument, a flag or a song, can claim some kind of special candyass status and demand that the speaker or in the case of the Confederacy, the flags, the statues and the monuments are destroyed. "

The ideals upon which this country was founded emerged from the virtue of learning from history. The new left seeks to erase history.

Lincoln was not only racist he was a tyrant...and he used the feel good notion of 'freeing slaves' only to keep his war going until the Southern states no longer tried to secede. Lincoln also imprisoned his Northern detractors and his take on Negros in general was they were sub-normal i.e., not bright and should not be allowed to vote even if freed.

The Abe Lincoln in school history books is a myth.

Considering the percentage of our total population the blacks occupy in this country, I remain amazed we as the people who vote have put up with this. Erasing history is to repeat it...is that what we want to do and just how do the blacks think they will do that? I wonder how many white v blacks think tearing down those statues will “fix” anything. It is like the Japanese thinking if they don’t talk about it, don’t write about it, the memory of American citizens and their children being made POWs during WWII will disappear? Hey, maybe it is all about reparations? Let’s not go there as every single person in the US is related to an immigrant..even NAs (Native Americans) whose ancestors came over the land bridge of the Bering Sea.

“One would think the snowflakes and the liberal whining mayors would be demanding a removal of all Grant statues across the nation.”

Give them time. Most of the snowflakes supporting the statue removals are ignorant of the facts. When somebody in their movement begins beating the drum about US Grant’s having owned slaves, then we move to Phase 2 of the Great US Historical Re-Write.

[OIFVeteran]

I don’t believe that confederate monuments should be removed because of racism. They should be removed because the confederacy was a rebellion against a constitutionally elected government that attempted to destroy our great republic. If the newly freed African-Americans had not had their voting and other rights suppressed by their states most of these monuments would never had gone up.

Don’t think it will just be flags and statues. Next, there will be book burnings and destruction of private property belonging to people deemed enemies of the state. That is the bottom line. Always has been. They are to destroy the West and the Confederates are just the starting point.
