The flying of the Confederate flag is protected by free speech. Choosing not to fly the Confederate flag is also protected by free speech.

Their only answer to that was that we should have given the guy amnesty so he would have been legal when he killed that woman.

EXACTLY.

There is a obviously a difference between Free Speech and Politically Correct Free Speech. I’m sure the SCOTUS will tell us what the First Amendment finds allowable in their next Session.

Somebody should check with an expert in the field.
I suggest Bill Ayers.

And yet, the removal of this flag will NOT:

And on and on. And if slavery was the main motivation for why that flag had to be removed, then the DemocRAT party needs to be removed from the entire public square since it was their party that upheld and defended slavery, even to this day!

That is why conservative Principles will soon be in the past, with its history erased. Voting doesn't work, in case you have not noticed.

This Republic can be restored peacefully ONLY if the Sheeple organize and push back on the LeftISIS changes that are destroying this Nation. Representatives that do not uphold their campaign promises need to be recalled. RINOS need to be replaced. People need to protest in the streets banging pots, demanding the resignations of officials, elected or otherwise, who make rulings and take actions against Constitutional Principles.

If civil disobedience and massive rallies are not used to push back on this crap, violence is all that remains. If conservatives haven't got the inclination, time, guts, money, and determination to push back peacefully, you can rest assured that they won't be willing or able to preserve their Freedoms through violence.

If we can't "activate", just kiss your Nation goodbye. It will be soon.

OK great, now when are they going to remove the Democratic party which is responsible for Jim Crow laws, the KKK, not to mention the fact that they had a KKK recruiter by the name of Robert Byrd still serving in Congress as late as 2010? That's right, only FIVE YEARS AGO they still had a KKK member in their party. Oh yes, and lets not forget how Democrats refused to support the Civil rights act of 1964 by holding a filibuster with Mr.Byrd. Funny how black people choose to ignore all that every election cycle, but a piece of cloth that merely symbolizes Southern pride today offends them

interesting how Obama converted the white house into a flag of hate. When will that flag be banished as a hate flag?

Well, since that part of history didn’t happen, then we should also take down and remove all references to slavery...it didn’t happen...just a street rumor.

I have found that attempting to get any citizen of the Northern Persuasion to believe any other reason than slavery was responsible for the Civil War is an exercise in futility, at best.

This takedown of the Confederate Flag.. the radio news is going nuts. They are exuberant. I haven't seen anything like this since the end of W.W.II. Very tiny /sarcasm
