Charleston and the Confederate Flag Battle

Via Billy


With every murderous rampage committed by a sociopath, the Left exploits the tragedy to push its agenda of taking Liberty from all of us. In recent years, that’s generally meant two things: gun control or racial grievance. The horrific murders of nine black Christians in Charleston by a white supremacist provided an opportunity to bring the two issues together.

Barack Obama, as usual, weighed in on both. He called for more gun control, and then he denounced the Confederate flag flying on the grounds of the South Carolina capitol as a racist symbol. It’s the latter that’s become a rallying point for leftists as well as Republicans eager to shed the racist label.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, a Republican, said Monday, “It’s time to move the flag from the Capitol grounds.” Sen. Lindsey Graham, a GOP presidential candidate, and Tim Scott, the first black Republican senator elected in the South since Reconstruction, likewise called for its removal. That provides political cover for state Republicans to vote to take it down.

Of course, given the prominence of South Carolina in the presidential primary season, the Leftmedia gleefully makes the Confederate flag an issue for Republicans every presidential cycle.

  1. Deranged kid shoots church. Flag to take fall.

    For Demi-Republi-Crats, it's all about fweeelings. Objects, symbols, ideas and animals before people.

  2. This is the dash cam video of Roof being arrested who supposedly just killed nine
    people. Notice how calmly the police approach the car, no frenzy, no shouts of
    'hands on the steering wheel', no grabbing Roof and throwing him on the ground.
    It's like their arresting the guy next door. This is suppose to be an armed, crazed
    killer. WTH It's like those couple of police who drew their guns, it was just for the camera. Half heartily. Roof - nothing.

  3. I want the matter taken to the BALLOT BOX.....
    Allow South Carolinian's a voice....
    If the majority say to take down the Southern Cross then the will of the people have spoken...But what I am against is allowing outside influences, race hustlers, Government intrusions, fabricated historical accounts and Political correctness rule the day.

    Allow us a voice at the Ballot Box...As is the Law of the Land.
