Are we a Constitutional Republic, or a Democracy?

How long before they call the Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy hate groups?

 Remove the US flag too. I'm tired of pretending the two aren't the same.

**********************************

This won’t stop folks, it just won’t.

As soon as South Carolina caved under public pressure to remove the Confederate flag from government buildings etc., the next phase went into full effect.

The confederate flag is proclaimed as a symbol of racism and oppression.  Those same activists view the U.S.A stars and stripes the same way.

What is to become of monuments and memorials to Southern generals and history.

Surely, all of that is just as offensive to the same crowd of activists.  Mississippi State university?  Ol Miss?   “The Rebel” sports groups?

Ponce De Leon, Christopher Columbus, General Lee…. where do you stop?  When will you reach a point that no-one is offended?  The Alamo?  Washington Park?  Gettysburg?  Penns Landing?


It won’t stop folks.  These same people will tear it all down, and will eventually be telling the people in Massachusetts that Plymouth Rock is a symbol of white oppression and racism.

Some folks may laugh and dismiss the controversy, but predicting where this is headed is really a no brainer.

  1. What was once a Republic now has elements of populism, democracy and kleptocracy.

  2. Columbus? meh, he was lost. ;)

    Lewis and Clark, Thoreau, the Gadsen Flag, et al.................

    I suppose the only saving grace that may still have some influence on the future is that the ruckus will probably kick off before everything is torn down. That's some twisted irony, right there. ;)

  5. This is what happens when we allow revisionist to fabricate historical accounts without correcting them....

    This also happens when you allow a small fraction of citizens to reshape history, and demand the destruction of American Historical icons, symbols regardless of the Heritage or Traditional value it has for others while they themselves elevate their own hatred through their dark history as cause for reason.

    Its further propagated by allowing these minority groups to use a small fraction of people as an excuse to create a victimhood status that allows them to certain privileges over the majority of their fellow Natives....

    This is further inflamed by Politically correct Whites whose lives are so empty that they need validation, a reason to find their self worth in causes that are almost always based on fabricated information or misinformation....

    The results of these protest have time and again proven to be even more destructive and harmful than the one they claim to champion against...

    What this will lead to is the further destruction of America, Her Traditions, and rich Heritage and the very Patriotic Americans who allowed this will soon find themselves wondering why their Heritage is also coming under attack as well...

    When you bow to these types of intimidation, they escalate not deflate.

    And when you enable, encourage and support those actions against fellow Americans, you will as a fact find yourself alone with no one to Champion your cause...

    Old Glory Is Next, and the traditions she espouses will come under attack, its just a matter of time and that time is rapidly approaching, and I will not say one damn word to defend Her, as She did not come to our defense...

    Our Freedoms should never be compromised, and they were here in South Carolina...
