"When the same law makers who demand that flag remain up also start demanding that the state of South Carolina cut out the Yankee third of their budgetevery single Federal handoutI will take their appeals to that battle flag seriously. Until then, take down that flag. Youre an embarrassment to everyone who has truly honorable aspirations for states rights, localism, fiscal integrity, true patriotism, and freedom."

Liberals want us talking about the confederate flag because it’s an issue they feel can hurt us.

Who, do you think, uses the most of that federal tax revenue in South Carolina, blacks or whites?

Notice how quickly “conservatives” are jumping on the Marxist bandwagon toward cultural cleansing, the same people who want us to respect Muslim and Mexican symbols and cultures tell us to HATE our own.

Why do we continue to let the left define the battlefield. We’re constantly on the defensive with the libs marching further every day.
Who gives a crap about whether the flag is flying.

I am making it a point to fly the flag, display it on my person in the form of a lapel pin, etc. When anyone wants to take something away from this badly, it gives me reason to believe that it’s worth holding on to, not that I didn’t already support the flag as part of my history and heritage. The American flag will be next on the hit list, when this goes down.

So you are saying that taking down a flag will stop a looney wacko punk racist kid with a gun from shooting people? Anyone who believes that is looney as well.
To: GeronL
not really- i think its pretty dumb idea to fly the flag of the losing side...
what should also be pointed out ad nausea is there’s not much difference between the way the confederate flag is viewed as a symbol of “hate” by the liberals and what comes out of the mouth of rev wright, obama’s favorite pastor...

I never cared about the Battle flag of Virginia until now. Now I’m going to buy one because it’s now become a symbol of resistance against the tyranny of the left.

Raise the black flag of ISIS over the US Capitol and the White Mosque right now. All is lost, abject surrender is our only option.
Next target, all the Christian crosses and Jewish Stars of David are to be removed and destroyed or totally obliterated.
I would add the “< /sarcasm >” tag, but this is too close to the probable course of events.

Voting for a so-called "moderate" Republican gets us absolutely nothing...except for perhaps a RINO in office.
Democrats never worry about a candidate being "too far left" as proven with Mayor de Blasio and Senator Sanders.

Possibly, the Confederate Flag, the Gadsden Flag and the “Come And Take It” Flag are needed as reminders that people can be pushed too far.

All this hysteria makes me want to buy a Confederate battle flag and hang it.
I’m sick to death of all these government created crises for which it promptly offers solutions to.
It’s past the point of ridiculous.

Exactly what I was thinking.
Take away one freedom and another one will be targeted tomorrow.
It's never about one thing, every action the Left takes is always a step towards the next thing.
"All this for a damn flag?". No, it's not about the flag.
It's a war on every possible symbol and sign of what the Left does not like.

Well said. Made me smile. Thanks. Liberalism is a mental disease, and it is apparently contagious. It would appear both the msm and the internet are carriers. Perhaps a good dose of DDT (Double Down Thinking) would be an appropriate step toward a cure.
