The Confederate battle flag, which was crafted as a symbol of opposition to the abolishment of slavery, is just recently tired. We don’t see it much anymore. However, on the 6th, when the stormers rained on the nation’s most precious hut, waving Old Glory — the memo was received: the American flag is its replacement.
President Biden, Madame Harris and members of Congress: the American flag has been hijacked as code for a specific belief. God bless those believers, they can have it. Like the Confederate, it is tattered, dated, divisive, and incorrect. It no longer represents democracy and freedom. It no longer represents ALL of us. It’s not fair to be forced to honor it. It’s time for a new flag.
Incorrect? Let’s look to the stars. There are 50, where there should be 52. D.C. and Puerto Rico have been lobbying for statehood for decades. Both have been denied, since statehood would allow each territory’s elected officials seats in the house.
Assuming D.C. reps would be African-American and Puerto Rican reps would be Hispanic, the ultimate assumption is that these elected officials would be Democratic. That alone is racist.
On to the stripes. The Smithsonian documents that the “white” stripes represent purity and innocence. America is great. It is beautiful. Pure, it ain’t. It is broken and in pieces.
What if the stripes were OFF-white? What if there were 52 stars to include D.C. and Puerto Rico? What if the stars were the colors of ALL of us — your skin tone and mine — like the melanin scale? The blue square represents vigilance and perseverance; and the red stripes stand for valor. America is all of those things. So, what if those elements on the flag remained? What if the flag looked like this?

A flag with a food stamp on it?

Lol. Its never enough. Democrats always on the move, advancing, rust never sleeps.
Republicans, standing athwart history yelling whoa, WTF just happened.... Waaaagggghhhh...take our country back...Waaaagggghhhh
So f’ing humiliating to be on the right. Oh well I’m used to it and heading into sunset. You young ones, enjoy your communism.
Dems never, ever stop with "all we are asking you to give us is...." Always just the beginning.
Remember Roe v. Wade (to save the woman's life, or if raped, we'll make it rare to have abortions.....). Now pretend it's a basic right. Estimated 62 million abortions since Roe v. Wade-----doesn't sound rare, does it?
For some reason I clearly remember her poignant song “I Try.” (January, 2000) She had a gravelly, grainy voice.
Great lyrics (by three people and her as writing credit)
....I try to say goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it’s clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Here is my confession
May I be your possession?
Boy, I need your touch
Your love, kisses and such
With all my might I try
But this I can’t deny
Deny
I play it off, but I’m dreaming of you
(But I’m dreaming of you, babe)
I’ll keep my cool, but I’m feigning
///////////////////////////////////////
When did someone use the word feigning in a pop song?
Notice all the business leaders and public talking heads applauding Juneteenth today? Now as... what would happen to any public figure who said that it was a stupid idea?
As one person put it, “A voice like a frog with emphasima”.
It will never be enough for the commie mob.
They want blood.
Nazi’s weren’t satisfied until Jews went to the gas chambers, BLM/ANTIFA won’t be satisfied either until White-Christian America is eliminated.
Hardly anybody on this site believes this stuff is a precursor to genocide.
We need a rainbow flag with a unicorn rampant and doves flying.
LOL
This is why I didn’t really like the blue line flag, it Leads to this.
I think the flag that defeated slavery was the Stars and Stripes.
Up Yurs, Lefties!!!
Wave it proud. 8-j
Correct me if I’m wrong but the flag most people recognize as a confederate flag was just a battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia
FUMG.
The local chapter or "camp" of the SCV has a tradition of putting flags on Confederate graves in two local cemeteries for Memorial Day weekend. They used to put battle flags but now I think they just put the "first national" flag (three stripes and a union jack with 7 stars in a circle) on the graves. I am not a member but know several members since they also belong to my chapter of the SAR.
Pin that on every Democrat politician and voter.
