This anti-Confederate frenzy seems to rival Germany going after the Jews they blamed for losing WWI. Is flag-nacht near?

The never ending pursuit of the “perfect” society must never relax the emotional tension necessary to keep the mobs amused and distracted from the corruption of the demagogues. Christians, Jews, Confederates, conservatives; all enemies of the elitist state and all worthy of extermination, sooner or later.

It would be pointless to cite Orwell or actual history: the people that eat this flag nonsense up are illiterate and stupid, exactly the way their rulers want them.

I can’t wait until the next democrat wins against Haley by promising to put the flag back up, not that republicans would learn anything from that.

Amazon called and wanted to promote and sell my business, I said “SURE” when can we start ... I want to sell Rebel Flags!

Haven’t heard anything from them since

I have since moved on... I’m thinking Rebel Underwear, Swim Shorts, Socks, 1/2 Socks and a Beach Sandal design... my own Cigar Brand and the list goes on and on.

TT

Yep. Fact.

PC has been the death of us. That is how they silence the masses. Make everyone terrified to speak up. Control speech, then thought then action.

The communists traitors within America have thought this through long and hard. They have been winning since 1973, 1913, well pick a year...

Richard C. Byrd!

When will it be renamed or torn down?

So they can ruin us like they ruined Colorado

I had this very discussion in Gunnison Colorado today talking about yankees streaming into Texas and Tennessee

That said

Our current crop of southern born GOP are frankly

Pussies with a capital V

they stand for nothing

They are selling out the south in ways only Thaddeus Stevens could appreciate

They already did; how many people under twenty do you think know ANY of the history we were taught until 25 years ago?

Just as with the election of Obama, blacks are going to be sorely disappointed as the years pass and their lot in life continues to deteriorate. Their hatred and envy of whites is becoming meaningless as they find themselves swimming in a sea of imported Asians and Hispanics who detest and fear them; they will miss the whites then...

In northern NJ the black urban cores are safely hemmed in by rings of imported non-black Third Worlders filling the areas abandoned by whites; blacks can see areas festooned with Brazilian and Peruvian flags instead.
