The controversy over the display of the Confederate flag in the wake of the killing of nine black church members in Charleston, S.C., has reached the annual Union County Veterans Fourth of July Parade in Lewisburg.

The 18th North Carolina Co. A re-enactors have been asked not to display the Confederate flag if it marches, parade chairman Kevin Bittenbender said Friday. The parade is scheduled to step off at 10 a.m. Saturday.

The decision was made following a discussion by the parade committee's executive board, he said. He understands there will be some opposed to the decision, he said.

Cultural Marxism progresses to fascism in very short order.

Reeducation camps are not very far away, especially after the economic collapse Obola is engineering.

Where’s the ACLU? They were all gung-ho to assist the Nazi march in Jewish Skokie.

There are a few choice words that can precede NO. Like to see some combinations used in response to these PC diktats.

Effing Insanity!

The more they do this, the more Confederate Flags I will buy.

I feel like a character in an Orwell novel.....I have felt like that a lot lately.

Or gaslight the bastards. Say “okay,” then march with it anyway, then tell them you never said “okay.”

What they should do is take part in the parade, and replace the Battle Flag with a My Little Pony flag.

The PC crowd can’t abide mockery.

ACLU is only interested in defending some people's rights:

What an F*ing bunch of clowns. I hope nobody shows up for the parade. I hate that the re-actors get damaged in anyway but that is just stupid. This is tantamount to book burning. Obama & the progressives are getting what they want, ultimately will get blamed for this.

This is more of the insanity that caused me to write this:

What the Confederate Flag now means to me.

"We did not want it (flag) to be a distraction,"

I hear this a lot nowadays. It's just another way of saying, "We surrender."

What are they going to show then, a big empty white square?
If Obama was a real President, he could reverse this foolishness in one five minute speech. There are enough sheep voters who will do exactly as Obola ‘commands’ w/o question.
