The Board of Visitors at the Citadel voted Tuesday night to remove the Confederate Naval Jack from its chapel on campus.

The vote was 9-3 in favor of removing the flag from Summerall Chapel.

A Citadel spokesperson says the school needs the General Assembly's permission to remove the flag.

According to Citadel officials, the flag was presented to the military college in 1939. The removal of the flag will be done in accordance with the Heritage Act, the spokesperson said.

They are making it clear, you WILL be assimilated into the New World Order and everything uniquely American in our heritage has to be systematically destroyed to that end. It is the beginning of the end folks. Enjoy the ride.

If you study history, you will learn that there are no limits to which appeasers to curry favor with those they perceive to be in power. And one will also learn that these efforts are, in the end, always in vain. Appeasers are like cheap whores; to be used and when their usefulness is over they are discarded.

This is political correctness on steroids. Mass hysteria. Never let a good crisis go to waste.

I’m waiting with profound excitement for Ken Burns to weigh in on this issue.

The flag is a distraction, of course and notice how well the GOP fell into line

I think the term we have long used is “sheeple”. That’s just what the American people are and have been for many years now.

Yes, even old Nikita S. Khrushchev would be grinning ear to ear if he could see this. Old Nixon would be hiding behind Nikita’s back in cowardice.

I don’t think HRC will win AL; of course, she doesn’t need the state. But I think she will run much better there than Obama did.

Will Congress withdraw funding for the Confederate Military Park in Vicksburg, MS, a small city which Obama narrowly carried in 2012?

“win you lose a war the victor decides the consequences”
That war was lost 150 years ago, as to the consequences we been suffering them for quite some time. I fear they will only grow worse in tyranny our republic has fallen, even the last reminiscent of its structural protections are being swept away.

Now we simply have to wait as the mob drives our lawless leaders into ever great depths of ‘unintended’ tyranny. today they try to wipe out history, tomorrow when that history is forgotten they will wipe out what is left of our rights.

Our children will not know freedom, instead they will live in a world of fearful persecution for offending a ‘protected group or individual’ by those in power. gradually their definition of ‘protected group’ and the ‘subjects’ will be politically directed more and more to protecting that power, then even democracy will be dead effectively and permanently.

One day from the ashes of that tyranny will come anther revolution be it 100 years or a thousand years later.
