This whole matter of the confederate flag being such a hate symbol is in itself symbolic of where/what Obama and his enablers, even Republicans, want to take the US from the toil and suffering of the possible struggles envisioned by the Founders to make the US a great Nation. The sham and scam will come around to many people.
Every popular emblem on earth is “appropriated” for all kinds of uses and causes. That doesn’t mean the emblem is to blame. Since the Rebel flag is just that, a flag of liberty and rebellion, it is a natural symbol for all kinds of dissidents everywhere—except Marxists. In 1981, the workers in the Gdansk Shipyards in Poland revolted against the Soviet Occupation of their country and founded Solidarity. They had no emblem, no banner of their own, so they raised the earth’s most popular banner of rebellion and independence.. The Poles raised the Confederate Battle Flag over the Gdansk Shipyard in defiance of the Soviets.
