If we are going to ban the Confederate Flag as a symbol of slavery, then to be consistent, we have to ban the Stars and Stripes too.

It flew over slavery and slave transporting ships for much, much longer than any flag of the Confederacy. If the logic is that the flag flew over slave-owning lands, then the Stars and Stripes has to go, as well.

Heck, even the Ku Klux Klan flew the Stars and Stripes in their rallies...



If we go down that road, we will continue to be lopsided in our views, unaware of our own history.


So What's next? Are they going to take down the Flag of the United States too?

THE NORTHERN LIBERAL ELITE HAS DECLARED WAR ON THE CONSERVATIVE SOUTH.

Bingo! The Left Coast liberal elite is aiding and abetting them.

RE: I doubt it.

Of course they won’t. But if we are to follow their warped logic to its conclusion, we ought to.

Oh, for Pete’s sake. It’s an historical monument. In Europe, they’re always calling for the removal of religious statues, statues of whoever the left hates at that moment, etc. But these things need to be defended on historical grounds.

“They will want to take everything and exact revenge.”

That is exactly what a former Obama advisor advocated for. He was released late on a Friday with no attention from the party’s media. But he is still around. Just not officially on the white hut payroll. He is Van Jones.
