You can blame this on a lot of things (and the elite media does play a large part in it) but it isn’t the northerners in southern states who are moving this in legislatures, is is southerners for the most part. I am sure there are some transplants pushing it, but the hands moving the levers are most likely liberal southerners.

Before you bite my head off, I disagree with this movement, root and branch.

I view the confederate flag as an indisputable part of American heritage, and the movement to dump it down the memory hole should offend anyone who believes in the freedom of speech unencumbered by political correctness via government actions.

Too many people think that allowing this is no big deal, but it is a big deal, because what is dear today, may tomorrow, due to political considerations, be deemed evil.

Nobody should wish to give that power to a government at any level.

Who are simply responding to being whipped by New York Broadcasting Corporations. Take away the whipping, and they would not be moving on this.

They are already doing it with the American Flag, and the Christian Cross. Opposition to "Gay Marriage" is slowly becoming a hate crime. Even the phrase "Land of Opportunity" is being prohibited on California Campuses.

We are being stampeded into Gleichschaltung by the Liberal Media propaganda soldiers.
