This tribal politics we are living through, once let lose, is hard to put back in its box.

“What, the politicians want to do it for real again? Idiots.”
Great idea actually. it’s our only hope. To rebuild from the ashes using the Constitution as written.

It is interesting. You tend to see more Confederate flags in Appalachia and other non-southern states than in the actual Old South. Maybe it has a different association or they are less conscious of the racist implications.

If the GOP was smart, they would call for the removal of this former KKK leader:

To: rarestia
Agreed. This is a lead up to something much bigger. The fact that the Republicans are in on it signals to me that something much bigger than we understand is at play. Given the zeitgeist that is going on out there - our subjugation by the state and/or the eradication of White Christian Conservatives seems to be on the docket.

Stop talking common sense, these people can’t even figure out that the stars and stripes flew on slave ships or flew out west to kill, rape, rob, and displace Indians.
Maybe they might understand the battle flag was just that a flag in battle to distinguish the side fighting and the stars and bars was the official flag of the Govt of the Confederacy.

If POS McConnell loves ERASING HISTORY so much, he might as well just join ISIS. They indulge in ERASING HISTORY, too.
To: SkyDancer
Yea weird how his state had slavery and the north ignored it while the stars and stripes flew there.
Maybe the history book there are different.

There’s probably video of Mitch waxing rhapsodic about the Stars and Bars to pick up votes somewhere.
There’s a huge obelisk in Kentucky near Lexington that rivals the Washington monument that’s dedicated to Davis. How long ‘til Mitch decides it needs to be torn down?

Renamed a high school here in JAX FL because of , get this. A prepetition was done around the country.
Why should some liberal yankee or west coast turd decide what we do here in the south.

So when do the calls for renaming Washington begin.....when do the calls for scraping the Constitution begin??
A wave of insanity is sweeping the country right now.

Let’s compromise, Mitch: leave Jeff Davis where he is and remove any presence of Henry Clay.

How about Kentucky remove McConnell from office before the statue. That would be a deal.

Reminds me also of Mao’s Cultural Revolution.
