This Hollywood Conservative Just Slapped Down The PC Left With An Epic Confederate Flag Rant
http://www.westernjournalism.com ^ | July 6, 2015 | Norvell Rose

As Western Journalism reported last week, pro golfer and two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson has vowed to remove the image of the Confederate flag from the classic General Lee car he bought after the TV show The Dukes of Hazzard ceased production. Watson has said he’ll replace the Confederate flag atop the iconic Dodge Charger with an American flag — a move that drew a fair amount of criticism on social media from folks who believe the golfer caved to the PC purge some argue is now in full force.

The cable network TV Land has also shown its PC colors by yanking reruns of The Dukes of Hazzard from its programming lineup — not citing any offensive content of the show in terms of racist characters or themes, just the controversy over the flag that adorned the bright orange car in which the Duke boys drove around fictional Hazzard County.

Now, Christian actor and outspoken Hollywood conservative Kevin Sorbo has jumped into the controversy over the Confederate flag and the disappearance of the Dukes from television. An actor and director best known for his title role in TV’s Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, in addition to the recent movie God’s Not Dead, Sorbo cut loose with an epic rant on his Facebook page in which he slammed the “PC crowd” as “nuts,” “insane,” and “crazy” for pulling The Dukes of Hazzard.

Sorbo wondered what’s next to be purged — Hogan’s Heros, The Jeffersons, All in the Family?

Sorbo’s anger at the media’s political correctness obviously struck a chord and was generally well-received, as evidenced by what commenters had to say about his emotion-packed rant. Below, you can see what the actor had to say, as well as take a look at a few of the responses that raise compelling points about who was really behind the effort to maintain the practice of slavery.

"“Hey PC crowd! You guys are nuts! Insane! Crazy! Banning The Dukes of Hazard? Really? The Confederate Flag on the car? When does this stop?” Sorbo wrote. “Then get rid of Hogan’s Hero’s, The Jeffersons, All in the Family, etc. The list goes on. Chocolate is racist then. So are marshmallow’s. I am offended by everything should be the Lefts slogan.”

“By the way, we should ban the American Flag. It represents the pillage of Native Americans. Also Washington, DC??? What. George Washington owned slaves! So we need to change the name there, too.”

I was watching an episode of All in the Family yesterday. The one that had Sammy Davis Jr as guest. The following words were used in the show. Nigga, Coon, Jig, and guess who used them? Sammy Davis Jr. Of course Archie has said the same words in episodes and they were always followed with laughs. Would be willing to bet there were plenty of blacks in the studio audience. On the Jefferson's every other word out of George's mouth was honky! When will these two classic comedies from 40 years ago be banned? Just read where Governor Moonbeam in California has outlawed the words "husb and wife". The word "lynching" has also been taken out of all text books. From the thought-police to homosexuals being allowed to get "married", this has lost it's damn mind.

If anything should be banned it should be the Democrap party which has created nothing but grief in this country. Seriously, what good has it ever done? It’s like having a hardcore meth addict as a roommate, enough already, kick the bums to the curb, vote them out of existence.

I did not know Mr. Sorbo was one of us.

BTW, if you lurk here, Mr. Sorbo, (1) I applaud your willingness to stand by your convictions, especially in Hollywood, and (2) if you have not yet, please look up Mr. Bruce Willis and Mr. Gary Sinise. You guys should get along just fine.

/used to be in the biz, bailed, and no, you never heard of me because I was too small time

Anyone who doesn't realize that this is where this is heading is complicit, via ignorance, in the destruction of the greatest country the world has ever seen. The left has never been for anything, regardless of rhetoric. It has always been, at least here, a purely destructive force, trying to eliminate everything about a country, and a culture, that they detest (generally true across the board, but the US is representative of all that the nihilists abhor). Like any terrorist movement, the left is now going to enter a period of one-up-man-ship, wherein they are going to attack any person or thing that was instrumental in creating a culture and a nation that they detest.

I know that Kevin Sorbo's statement was made in jest and exasperation. It shouldn't have been. It is very real.

That's almost as bad as a Confederate flag nowadays.

Racist? No more than Disney's Song of the South. Why is it locked away in some vault since the 80’s?

Leftists won’t stop until EVERYTHING is destroyed....it is what Marxism is about-—to destroy ALL Traditions, ALL history so they can erase ALL the memories about Family, biological connections SO they can reprogram all the little children in their artificial system with no biological connections-—all boys/girls interchangeable-—no identity, no individuality, all exactly the same-—so that they can create little Inca minds (tribal) so they will believe anything the State says.

Christianity created the Age of Reason, Individual Natural Rights from God only, Modern Scienc, the best Ethics system in the World——which is geared for FREEDOM. The Left has to destroy Christianity and everything it produces “for the children”.

Fichte’s quote for the “Prussian” system of mass indoctrination in 1810. Psychology is embedded into all curricula today to destroy Virtue and hyper sexualize the children (vice makes slaves for the state).

“Education should aim at destroying free will so that after pupils are thus schooled they will be incapable throughout the rest of their lives of thinking or acting otherwise than as their school masters would have wished ... The social psychologist of the future will have a number of classes of school children on whom they will try different methods of producing an unshakable conviction that snow is black. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for more than one generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen.”

Classical Education is the only true “education”-—nothing else will give the children the ability to be critical thinkers. The Natural Family gives children Common Sense....and they should never be taken from the Natural Family until after 7 years of age—and then, only people who don’t undermine the parents and their worldview should have access to your children’s minds.

“No more S’mores?”

The very word “S’more” signals rapacious unsustainable overconsumption — a greedy desire to seize more than one’s fair share. We need to ban S’mores, and start teaching our children to gather around the carbon-neutral solar cooker and enjoy “S’less”s — Tofu lumps topped with seitan and kale, to save the planet.

S’mores represent rampant miscegenation.

Gotta ban ‘em.

If General Robert E. Lee could have seen how the South is STILL being punished, he never would have met Grant at Appomattox Courthouse. He would rather have fought to the last man, woman and child before subjecting the Confederacy to the never ending persecution.

You may have the power now; just remember “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely”. As surely as the leaves turn in the fall, the persecution will not be allowed to go on forever.

Deo vindice

This was in the paper recently.

Finally, they're admitting their end game.

Notice the leftists have the same SOP as ISIS - just destroy everything to build their utopia.
