So-called “liberals” are proudly displaying their disdain for Liberty calling for the removal of the Confederate battle flag from our midst. They say that the losers in a war shouldn’t get to fly their flag, and they’ve arbitrarily decided it ‘represents racism’ not to mention it was right there with the Charleston Church shooter….
Okay, let’s apply that rationale to the flag of Mexico – they lost a war with the US and as for racism, we should check with ‘La Raza’ on that score. In addition the Mexican flag represents a clear and present danger to US sovereignty via the invasion of illegals that it is fomenting. The illegal invasion threat is much more dire that a few good ol’ boys flying the Confederate battle flag from the back of their pickup trucks.
Turnabout is fair play. What say you people who denigrate Liberty on a daily basis and yet still maintain the moniker of “Liberal”? Can we apply your twisted logic to another symbol? In your head long rush to suppress thought crime, can we apply the same rules you use or is your speech sacrosanct?
Stew on that “Liberals” whilst you celebrate one more of your victories against freedom.
Mexico’s immigration laws are fairly strict, therefore according to liberal belief that illegal immigration is good, Mexico is racist against immigrants.
You can argue whether it is appropriate on property, but it is NOT OVER a capitol building.
Yes it does.
Leftist can’t have it both ways.
They can’t arbitrarily decide which symbols they hate and have them suppressed.
I live in LA, and I am so !@#$ sick of seeing that !@$# Mexican flag everywhere. I am offended by that, by Che Guevara, and the gay rainbow flag. These things make my blood boil, but I tolerate them. When liberals are offended by something, though, it has to be banned so no one else can see it.
Yes, and we’ll be forced to like it - so much for ‘Equality’
It’s their way of suppressing the opposition.
They can’t win the debate on merits, so they simply shut down the other side.

Though I’d be happy to see as well as any flags relating to Islam.... I think we’re on dangerous ground eliminating flags for the last one will be our national flag replaced with something else altogether.
Indeed, but so does the Council of Conservative Citizens, which you support. Not to mention your friends over at StormFront.
Oh Mister troll, troll, Mister StormFront Troll, please enlighten me.
Oh Mister troll, troll, Mister StormFront Troll, “collaborators” do I see.
These White children are asking you,
To “wake up” the “quislings” to the right view.
Oh Mister troll, troll, Mister StormFront Troll, please enlighten me.
You are correct - it slipped my mind on that issue.
.
If a gay man committed a mass murder does anyone think the press would be calling for the banning of the ‘rainbow’ flag?
Liberals want us talking about the confederate flag because the issue works for them.
Conservatives can't have it both ways, either. Numerous conservatives embrace the "GOP=red state" terminology that the mainstream media came up with in 2000, but then whine about the confederate flag being defined as racist by the mainstream media. If they don't want the media to define symbols, they shouldn't have rolled over for the "red state" propaganda.
Ye, they can and will have it both ways, watch them
Amen
No they would not.
In fact, certain flags represent divisiveness and hatred but only those thought to be on a certain side are to be suppressed by the Left.
The “GOP=red state” terminology has been fading away - it’s only seen on electoral maps.
Someone should as why they haven’t reversed the colors (That was the reason why they were switched back in 2000)
Red has always been the color of socialism and the left and it should put back that way.
That has to change or the country is fineto..
I’m trying to have a positive attitude on this. Remember that the left no longer has monopoly on the press and they aren’t wining all the battles.
Just envision them losing their ‘collective’ minds when we do win should be encouragement enough.
News to me. Redstate.com, founded by self-appointed "conservative leader" Erik Erickson is as popular as ever, the GOP on the national and state levels have been complying with the mainstream media's marching orders and revamped all their websites and logos so the elephant and logo are red, numerous conservative activists used the talking point about "making this a RED state" during the 2014 elections, and I've gotten in tons of arguments with freepers who embrace the red propaganda and tell us they LIKE the GOP being "red" because "red is the color of passion" and blah blah blah.
But now, after 15 years of loyally repeating the media's GOP=red state propaganda, "we can't let the media define things for us".
Boo hoo. The "I <3 RED" crowd made this bed, they have to lay in it.
Let’s ban Che T-shirts too.
