Congress by itself cannot repeal an amendment.

Won't stop them from instituting un-Constitutional "laws" as they and courts have done for 100 years to subvert the Constitution. It's how we got where we are - our leadersrulers don't feel they should be constrained by the Constitution.

And the asshat McConnell belongs in a museum for Quislings and NOT in the Senate.

So once again the left calls something racist, and spineless republicans are like Chuck Schummer spotting a microphone to prove to the world how not racist they are.

Each time I’ve signed in here the last two days the front page is 90% articles of who banned or wants to ban a flag.

It is.

The problem is it isn’t just the democrats. It is the culture at large and the progressives have done a very good job at reeducating several generations. Even older Americans do seem to see it or if they do, the tyranny appears so soft as to be of no legitimate concern.

The past several weeks a potential essay has been rolling around in my head and it hasn’t made it to paper or the keyboard quite yet. It is something along the lines of how colorful and flavorful the American melting pot used to be until someone added too much salt. How political correctness equates to the gray uniforms communism. How the natural world demands diversity for survival and how America’s PC of sameness, equal outcome goes against the natural law of survival.

Yeah...that essay if floating around in my head yet. But America’s gray communist uniform is false ideology of political correctness.

Personally, I can't get too worked up about this. Ironically, Jefferson Davis was the 1850s / 1860s version of a modern Democrat — someone who was more than willing to put party and self-interest above country to the point of destroying the country. While he had a prominent and, in some cases, admirable career prior to the Civil War, I personally don't care whether or not he is honored, other than at this point, I don't want to see the Left Wing mob add another scalp to its belt.

A lot of tilting at windmills going on. The GOP is now going along and fighting strawmen.

"Methinks this is all a scripted plan as a final death-blow to our republic."

Paranoid, but likely true. Obama is in a mad dash in the last years of his second term to completely bring down America. When he delivers his eulogy Friday, he is likely to push for far more than the removal of the Confederate flag and symbols; vast new gun control and confiscations are also likely on the table and a sycophantic GOP won't stop him. In his last months, he will also cement the grip of the Federal government on our throats through the endless regulations that have become hostile to higher civilization in the West. The old question will be before those left in the US who are paying attention - When is enough enough and what to do to stop the tyranny?

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

It’s not McConnell’s business as a DC senator to tell Frankfort what to do. He’s an elitist that thinks DC is the center of the universe from where all wisdom and rules (should) emanate.

"It’s time for Mitch to go."

It was obvious that it was time for Mitch to go in the last election, but the they put that POS right back in there again....

ANYONE who hangs around McPain, McConnell or Lindsey Graham are slimy, stinking commie one worlders and they need to be arrested for treason and hanged....

They (listed above and their GOP crones) are not defending the Constitution, the border, the American people or anything else that their suppose to do.... They have nothing but their own personal preservation and self interest in mind....

They have proven, beyond any shadow of a doubt, to anyone that is half awake that they will take your money, your home and property, your guns and even your children if it would serve their needs....

This flag thing is just the beginning of a whole "shit storm" of stuff that's going to be coming out DC over the next year, and if we are not willing to fight back.....well we better get us a new pair of boots because it's going to get DEEP.........

MHO.... :(

Yep, and it won’t blow through the country. This banning of the flag is all a farce created by the lib media, probably as a test to repeal the 2nd amendment. The majority of the public doesn’t give a damn about the confederate flag or the statue of Jeff Davis or anything else libs claim. The #1 thing the public cares about is illegal immigration and these same libs screaming about the confed flag do nothing about it.
