Today, many are cheering the end of an era in the South. As The New York Times reports, many see the lowering of the Confederate flag from outside South Carolina’s State House as “closing a chapter on a symbol of the Deep South and its history of resistance and racial animus.”

[snip]

Mohammed Elibiary: "Today is a new day in the South. Gone will be the Confederacy as we create the New South. Federalism & individual rights, no states' rights."

[snip]

Mohammed Elibiary: "States' rights was defeated with the Confederacy in the Civil War. USA has federalism and individual rights, period."

[snip]

Mohammed Elibiary: "The POTUS is 100% correct here. The entire South, not just SC, will never be the same. #AllahuAkbar #GodBless

“Be it the pyramids or the Confederate Flag,”

I never thought of that way — the Pyramids and the Confederate Flag were both were built on the backs of slaves. In this case, Islam is also about slavery, so replacing one for the other would serve no purpose.

This “Move On” phrase has gotten annoying. Both Dems and Republilibs use it. Move on to what? Total government of the New World Order, that’s what.

There is in our time this tacit assumption of inevitable progress. People confuse change with progress. Toward what, though? You answered that question very well: a utopia world that gives no consideration to human nature and its selfishness. Plato lamented his utopia in Republic could never be realized for that very reason...

I would argue, further, that we are experiencing regress - if civil society guided by a Judeo Christian ethic is the goal. We are regressing - indeed, have regressed - to barbarism.

Did we repeal the 10th in the dead of the night and no one knew?

Before the ink was even dry on the paper it was written on, the 10th was dead.
