#5 ...Would it be improper of me to ask if the Confederate flag still flies over Fort Sumter National Monument?

#6 The South lost. Why have their flags ever been allowed? Or statues of their heroes? You don't see statues of Rommel or the Nazi flag in Germany.
That said, it's from 150 years ago - 5 or 6 generations - who should really care anyway? I suspect it's a red herring, and we should be looking carefully for something important being done while we're distracted by it.

#7 Glenmore,

One reason the monuments and flags were tolerated was in a spirit of reconciliation - "Yes, we fought, but there was bravery and courage on both sides and that should be honored." Keep in mind that as late as 1898, there was still real and serious concern over whether or not the South would step up to fight in the Spanish-American war. The fact that they did - and in great numbers - was to a considerable extent because they felt that even though they had been defeated, their bravery was honored and respected.

#8 Next, the flag of white privilege. You know which one that is. They took the pledge out of the schools years ago.

#9 This is a truly difficult subject. I agree with Glenmore that the media is distracting us, in my opinion from discussing how to keep weapons out of the hands of the mentally ill. The practical problem is that 2nd amendment supporters rightfully distrust federal and state governments.

As for the flag controversy, Northerners will never get it, and Southerners will never forget. I believe in freedom of speech and Federalism, so let a free market and the voters decide.

Members of my family have served in every war this nation has ever fought, plus the Texas Revolution,a albeit on the losing side of the Civil War. I honor them all.

#10 Now comeths calls on the MSM-Net to ...

> Remove Statue(s) of Jeb E. Davis.
> Remove statue(s) of Robert E. Lee.
> Stonewall???
> Rename US Army Forts = Mil Installations named after Confederate Commanders.
> Remove POTUS-but-Also-Slave-Owner Thomas Jefferson.

MORE LIKELY TO FOLLOW.

THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT LOUIS FARRAKHAN + THE BLACK PANTHER CAN CONTINUE TO CALL FOR BLACK REVOLUTION + VIOLENT REPRISALS AGZ "WHITEY", ESPEC THOSE WHOSE ANCESTORS OWNED BLACK SLAVES.

LEGAL SHARIA + ISLAMERIKA HERE WE COME.

Every Sub-Cultural or Alternatist agenda that the DemoLeft + aligned succeed in putting into law is a point in favor of Legal Sharia + Follow-on, AS EVERYTHING THAT SHARIA = ISLAMIC LAW ACCEPTS OR TOLERATES WILL ALREADY BE LEGAL IN OWG GLOBALIST AMERIKA SAVE FOR THE GUBMINT'S OFFICIAL STAMP.

Only real thing left to fight is the demand that Any Each + All Restaurants-Cafes in Amerika be turned into TACO BELLS ala Sly Stallone's
"DEMOLITION MAN".

D *** NG IT, CAN SOLYENT GREEN BE MADE FROM SOLYENT GREEN???

Orange? Purple?
