“The next flag that will come under assault, and it will not be long, is the American flag.”

And it will be replaced with the beautiful rainbow the flag. The only flag that really represents inclusion, diversity, and tolerance for all. {sick}

“This mob mentality deliberately being used by the hard core left and sucking in spineless, idiot Republicans..”

Yes. We live in an age where injury to feelings has become so important that the left uses it as a weapon. Feelings over reason and fact. Mob mentality over injured feelings. We are witnessing a good example of the manipulation of useful idiots.

The same Libs who weep and wail when ISIS and the Taliban destroy ancient statues suddenly foam at the mouth and demand the destruction of all Confederate monuments throughout the South.

Go figure! Even the ancient Romans erected statues to Hannibal, the enemy of ROME.

I haven’t seen this madness and hysteria in America since Bobby Kennedy got shot back in 1968.

And the reinterpretation goes on. It is only a short step now, to outlaw the display of the national flag of that nation once known as “the United States of America”.

That territory has become a sort of a no-morals, no-principals, free-fire zone for every despicable and unlovely emotion of which humanity is capable. Honest and civil discourse has been abandoned, in favor of “instant regulation” and populist legislation.

Do not underestimate the power of large numbers of stupid people once their attention has been directed.

This whole effort is designed to split the south, which has become solidly Republican.

Yep, and the "JournoList" gang is exulting in the opportunity to once again dredge up this pet issue (which has been a total non-starter for fifteen years or more). They're even trying to use this to breathe some life into Jeb's campaign.

Raise the Gadsden instead....
No matter what region of the country, the Left is the common enemy. Regionalism needs to be set aside to fight it.

“Raise the Gadsden instead....”

And also remember the Moultrie Flag...especially significant to South Carolina and Charleston.

Use of the Confederate Flag by a insane person certainly deflects from his manifesto as his excuse citing the assults and murders of completely innocent whites, “hispanics, and asians, committed by black youths and their reason for the cold blood killing of Treyvon Martin. Doesn’t it ?

campuses of American schools.

You are not listening to Rush because this is exactly what he talks about that the millenials in colleges are being taught to hate america, love diversity etc from an early age.

Just yesterday...

I do not believe in the veneration of The Confederate Flag. That’s my personal belief. I do not however supported it’s ban or an individuals right to own one. If that flag can be banned, then like speech, any other symbol, right up to The Stars And Stripes can be banned. This is madness.
