CIVIL RIGHTS GROUP DEMANDS KID ROCK DENOUNCE CONFEDERATE FLAG… OR ELSE
Breitbart ^ | June 7, 2015 | Kipp Jones

Posted on 07/08/2015 1:01:18 PM PDT by yoe

Unsatisfied with the removal of the Confederate flag from public places, stores and TV shows, activists are now calling for musician Kid Rock to stop using the banner at concerts.

The outspoken and politically incorrect artist was born and raised in and around Detroit, MI, but his love for southern rock and culture has included the use of the rebel flag at shows over the years.

While it isn’t clear the last time Kid used one of the flags during a performance, members of a Detroit-based civil rights group are demanding the singer denounce the Army of Northern Virginia battle flag, and are asking the Detroit Historical Museum to remove his name from an exhibit he funded if he doesn’t.

If you know Kid Rock and his support for our troops and our country, his rebellious nature....you know he won’t give in to this.

But those below ARE symbols of racism the confederate flag is not. Why would you concede such a false premise about the confederate flag?

Gee, I can only imagine Kid Rock’s response. Probably just two words. And one of those words is “you”.

How about demanding the museum give back his money? Hypocrites.

Although, I’m infrequent broadcast listener, I heard Rush discuss Totalitarianism today — very, very relevant.

I have no personal bond to the flag, but I do to the 1st Amendment, and for that reason we must all fight the force of totalitarianism that’s working hard for conformity and allegiance to the Left.

....first they came for the bakers, then the photographers, then the bloggers, then the football teams, then they came for the country singers, then the Bible readers....and I stayed silent.

Then they came for me....
