The Battle Flag Is Gone... What's Next??


   Now that we've managed to allow yet another feel good measure of useless legislation to occur, what will be the next move??

   To be clear, I'm in no way supportive of this cowardly move by my state legislature to remove the Confederate Battle Flag from in front of the State House grounds. That was nothing but a measure of "look I did something", with no regard for the truth or the facts. Disagree?? Tell me why.... No really, I entertain any opposing view. But don't approach me with opinion or emotion, that's a useless. Give me facts for why you think what you think.... But I digress....


   There is a reason we have monuments, statues or memorials. We must remember where we've been as a people or a nation. There is honor in remembering past events, past individuals. We may not always agree with the overlying aspects of the events, but we must remember.

   We've become overly sensitive to the emotions of others and the baseless opinions of minority segments of society. Yeah, that can be and often is a bad thing. 

   A Republic defends the rights of the minority. And in America, we do. But that doesn't include the granting of "rights" that cannot apply, whether that be because of physical or moral impossibilities. And YES, I'm pointing a finger directly at "Gay Marriage" specifically. But that's another debate....

   When it comes to material objects, the lines are no less blurred in the disgusting embrace of "inclusiveness" and "rights". But in the Progressive (aka Socialist) environment we're being consumed by, we are not allowed to voice opinions or show pride in any way that is contrary to the Minority Opinion....

   And yeah, there's an Amendment to the Constitution that guarantees that right, to voice opinions, to ALL Americans. Except that is no longer ACCEPTABLE if it is, yet again, contrary to the minority opinion. No violation of any rights, just the violation of an emotional vacuum.

   Just keep in mind, it's about Opinion and Emotions, not actual Rights....


   A flag hanging on a pole, in front of the SC State House, had no impact or made no statement concerning any degree of hatred or evil. A willful ignorance and desire to feel offended was the all encompassing background to calling the Battle Flag a "reason", nothing more.

   Yes, I feel a smoldering contempt for the pantywaists that have decided the voice of the majority is null and void. Again, the minority has swiveled a non rights related issue into the gutter of "feel good in the moment" without addressing any real base issues. But that is EXACTLY what has brought us to this level of twisted moral self righteousness.


   I can agree with the original removal of the flag from atop the SC State House. That was a proper move in my opinion as the only flags in that position should be that of the active government. And I'm not distracted by the fact that a racist Democrat was responsible for it's originally being placed atop the State House. That's immaterial to the argument.
   What is germane to the subject is the blatant hypocrisy being forwarded by those that claim the flag is directly responsible for anything. That's ANYTHING. 

   Don't give me the "The Flag Represents Hate" line of rubbish. That's a statement that only substantiates the stance of You're An Idiot!!! To me the trashy Rainbow Flag of the perverted LGBT-XYZ (and whatever else) is more offensive than than anything I can remember in my life. That coupled with the repeated display of moral corruption associated with it should make even the mildly Left leaning "Progressive" enraged....
   I'm prejudice?? Well, that opinion could be expected from someone that resembles that remark. 

Either Stand Up And Defend Freedom When It's Challenged, Or Sit Down And Shut Up When That Freedom Disappears Because You Did Nothing....
