Soooo…. when everyone jumps on the bandwagon to ban guns and repeal the Second Amendment - I wonder how fast that will blow through the country?
We have no idea what is about to happen to us.
Agree. Very scary times.
This is pbviously a planned attack by the establishment. Shows us even more how stupid these people are. I said a few days ago they were afraid ofthe south. This is even more enlightenjng to watch.
Congress by itself cannot repeal an amendment.
Not near as fast as politicians adapt their public spaces to political correctness, or whatever Mao called it. I personally don't care what the government does with its own artifacts.
You could be right. The left has got the bandwagon going and the GOP is its usual cowardly craven self. Obama is delivering the pastor's eulogy on Friday. I can see a huge national wave for national gun restrictions and outright confiscation. Will the GOP stand its ground and stop any anti-Second Amendment legislation or not? I don't want my future to be based on Boehner's and McConnell's courage or collaboration with Obama.
Agreed. This is a lead up to something much bigger. The fact that the Republicans are in on it signals to me that something much bigger than we understand is at play.
First off, what about American companies (multi-nationals) who use slave labor? Was it not Apple, Nike, various apparel companies to name just a few who knew but turned a blind eye to child labor and or slave labor being practiced in foreign countries?
How bout companies within the U.S. that support open borders with Messy-co in an effort to utilize cheap labor, often paying substandard wages falling below minimum wage?
Walmart making billions off of Chinese labor that work their people 16-20 hours a day and workers sleeping at their work stations and denied breaks and paltry wages.
How bout Nafta? Sold to Americans as a trade agreement that would lift the standard of living for the average Messy-can worker but in the end did no such thing. Across the border from El Paso, Texas you can drive down I-10 and look across the border into Messy-co and see shanty towns of cardboard and tin surrounding the manufacturing plants. Folks living in squalor to help enrich the bottom line of American corporations.
Let's touch on the black community for a bit. Is it not our own gubbamint that practice a form of social slavery by keeping the American black on the government tit? Generation after generation of black families enslaved to the government handout...is this not a form of slavery?
How bout foreign workers coming here on H1B visas? Are they not beholden to the corporation? Are they free to move to another corporation? I submit this is a form of indentured slavery.
Hypocrites! Walmart and the rest of them are hypocrites.
perhaps there will be a revolution
There ya go.
It’s where it’s going.
It's like the flag deal is a test run.
We know exactly whats going to happen. Its played out in numerous places.
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.
Hint: TPP and Jade Helm are connected...
I'm afraid you are correct.
My first exposure to kids from the South was at the 1964 BSA Jamboree at Valley Forge. I had been taught in school about the wisdom of "binding up the nation's wounds" after Appomattox, and the pride those boys from the deep South showed in their symbols reinforced the wisdom of the policy of CSA tolerance in my mind, an impression that has persisted to the present.
Anyone who believes that the upsurge in racial violence and hostility since 2009 is caused by the stars and bars is a fool.
It is unbelievable that elected Republicans either a) believe that erasing CSA heritage will improve matters, or b) that they have any chance whatsoever of garnering votes from CSA haters. It won't, and they don't.
I'm as Yankee as they come. The furthest South I've ever lived was Central Brooklyn.
But this sheep stampede is disgraceful, and (unfortunately) as you say, it's probably a sign of worse to come.
Even if you don't care about the Confederate Battle flag as such, this issue is the canary in the coal mine. If establishment Republicans like McConnell, Graham etc. march to the Left's tune on this issue, they'll march to the Left's tune on any other issue when there's an opportunity to pander.
Incidentally, what have the GOP Presidential Primary candidates been saying? Graham already loudly and smarmily sided with the radical Left, of course, and I'm sure that Jeb Bush was right behind him.
