Boehner wants review of Confederate symbols in U.S. Capitol

WaPo ^ | 9 Jul 2015 | Paul Kane

Maybe we can get some advice from ISIS on destroying historical monuments like Washington’s and Jefferson’s monuments.

[Eddie01]

I see a facist vaudville number with Boehner dancing his way across the stage black tie white cloves a top hat and cane to puttin’ on the ritz.

...workin’ on the words.

[puppypusher]

Why don’t we burn the Constitution and Declaration of Independence while we’re at it?

The left is destroying everything about this country why just stop with the history of the Confederacy?

[Eddie01]

“Further confirmation that 0 has him by the nuts.”

Much. Much worse. I fear.

[Norm Lenhart]

We probably should let them. they are being disgraced as the country the founders built is gone. No point for them to remain in Obamaland.

Boner and those others aren't leaders. Leaders don't "embrace moods", they follow consistent principles, something few Republicans in DC have done for a couple of decades or more.

You've got that right.

Welcome to The Uniparty and the NWO as introduced by none other than GHWB.

I wish that were true. But honestly the Republicans have been falling all overthemselves to join the anti-Confederate jihad with absolutely no need for help from the Democrats.

Agreed. It's shameful.

 

[ohioman]

I am afraid I agree with you on this one. The GOP is to blame for most of the anti CBF nonsense. If Cruz does not win, I and many others will be without a party.

[ConservingFreedom]

LOL! Boner is a simpering sissy.

[TangibleDisgust]

House Speaker John A. Boehner (D-Wonka's Chocolate Factory) called Thursday for an informal bipartisan group to review matters related to Confederate memorabilia in the U.S. Capitol, cutting off an unexpected, racially tinged debate over the “Stars and Bars” that had consumed the House floor.

FTFY. :)

[LouAvul]

Sure thing you pimp. Anything to distract your constituents from your treason, heh?

Since everyone is going all out on this ridiculous Confederate flag thing, maybe we should start pushing for book burnings? Bet there are some sympathetic books or passages about the South, not to mention movies and TV series.

Hell, let's demolish the Washington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial, burn anything by a Founding Father that owned slaves, which was the norm at the time provided by black slave traders. Still the norm in Africa.

Let's just go ISIS on historical artifacts and destroy everything, including the Declaration of Independence that was written my slave owners. Just burn it! Sure that will satisfy non-slave Blacks who live for the next Jordan sneakers and PC liberals.

No? Well, we can always give them more money for slavery they didn't experience. But then, they are so oppressed that they have the need to kill/injure so many in their own 'hoods every day. They're only responding to white supremacy and "micro-aggression".

This is just pissing me off to no end. Forgot to mention that we should blow up Mount Rushmore. Do we need a "daisy cutter" or will a couple of missles from a F-16 do the trick? Sarcasm for you dumb ass NSA spying types.

[Bobby_Taxpayer]

...to pass a law saying that, until the budget is balanced and the border is secure, Congress is not allowed to worry about crap like the Confederate flag.

Constitutional Amendment? No law can be passed without a two thirds majority in each house until a balanced budget is passed and signed. Kills two birds with one amendment.

[A Navy Vet]

Sorry guys that I didn't read far enough before replying.

Yup, like I said, let's go ISIS on ALL historical artifacts that have a possible negative connotation. We probably should also raze the historical plantation mansions in the south.

Maybe the Texas state flag should be destroyed because it mostly stood for independence from Mexicans. Oops, micro-aggression against Latinos.

Can you say, "Sieg Heil"? Got matches?

[Kid Shelleen]

Remove anything named after segregationist Al Gore Sr.

[Amagi]

Yeah, Boner, doing something really, really useful while the Republic is in dire straits.
