Governor Set To Remove Confederate Flag

[phill4paul]

The plague of political correctness (a.k.a. Federalism) spreads to other states....

With the Confederate flag under new scrutiny in states across the South, a spokesman for Gov. Pat McCrory said Tuesday that North Carolina should stop issuing license plates with the flag on them.

“The time is right to change this policy due to the recent Supreme Court ruling and the tragedy in Charleston,” said Josh Ellis, the governor’s communications director.

I find it very interesting that all the PC liberals have their panties in a bunch over a flag rather than trying to figure out how society failed this kid so badly that he committed mass murder.

I think that's the idea. It's comforting to believe they can solve a big, intractable problem by focusing on some highly visible element that can be CONNECTED to it, at least in the imagination of the public.

Don't blame society for the actions of an individual.

I mostly do. We load these kids up with SSRI drugs and let them be exposed to so much violence they are immune to it.

You just didn't see things like this happen in the past.

We've all failed when these mass shootings happen so often people barely even notice anymore.

I disagree with this part......

Kids in years gone by were much closer to nature and their food than today's kids, they learned young how to kill to eat and how inhumane it was to wound.

Real "violence" was part of daily life for at least half the population, fist fights were a normal part of growing up male not "behavioral issues" that needed medication and counseling...

This is the new and improved urbanized/digitized America that's policy is being set by those who know what's best.....

Today Governor Robert Bentley ordered flags at a Confederate monument near the state capitol building to be taken down. Sayeth he, "This had the potential to become a major distraction as we go forward. I have taxes to raise, we have work to do. "*

Last night I imagined this would be coming, and hoped to go to the capitol on Saturday to take photos of the monument in all its beflagged glory before the PC battalions rolled in. The blitzkrieg is faster than even my fears.

Given that the tax raising predilections of certain cunt politicians was the reason for secession in the first place, I have to wonder if he's just fucking with us at this point.

Great video entry...

 

[Carlybee]

Now there are calls for "Gone with the Wind" to be banned. Hope all the tards who think that one little flag coming down will enjoy the domino effect.

I haven't really been following this topic, but has anyone actually submitted a bill to ban the confederate battle flag yet?

Look for it.....

Throwing a bone like anti-flag legislation is much more palatable to the federal beast than reigning in its jackboots...

‏@BYHISGRACE64: @trueblacknews Actually schools, bridges, buildings shouldn't be named after Slave owner

Perhaps we should throw away the Declaration of Independence since Jefferson was a slave owner.

Oh, wait. Maybe we should actually lynch all the blacks because Egypt enslaved the Jews for 400 years.

The Zombie Apocalypse has begun. Just hate-filled logic-lacking walking spiritual corpses.

Is Tea Party taking a stance on this SC flag issue?

MSNBC’s Irin Carmon: Confederate Flag at Tea Party Protest Represents ‘Threat’ to Obama

by Noah Rothman | 5:46 pm, October 14th, 2013

MSNBC contributor and columnist Irin Carmon appeared on MSNBC with Martin Bashir on Monday where she said that the person who brought a Confederate flag to a tea party protest in Washington D.C. over the weekend may have been trying to threaten President Barack Obama.

“What exactly is the message that they’re seeking to send the president?” Bashir asked of the individual who brought a Confederate flag to this weekend’s protests in front of the White House.
“To me, this is a threat,” Carmon replied.
“This is a house where a black family lives,” she continued. “This is a symbol that is nostalgic for a time when black people were subjugated and enslaved.”

It makes much more sense to blame specific institutions (especially those directly involved in the kid's everyday life) like the gov'ment skools and medical industries than a meaningless abstraction like "society".

 

[acptulsa]

I'm at a loss why South Carolina flies the Virginia flag anyway.

What's the matter with flying their own army's flag? How does that not make more sense?

Are they afraid if they fly a flag with a crescent on it, their state capitol building will get droned?

Brawl Breaks Out In Front Of South Carolina Statehouse Over Confederate Flag

http://atlanta.cbslocal.com/2015/06/30/south-carolina-confederate-flag-brawl/



One man has been arrested after a fight over the Confederate flag in front of the South Carolina Statehouse.
The brawl started about 7:15 p.m. Monday when about a dozen vehicles with Confederate flag supporters pulled up in front of the Statehouse and stopped in the middle of the street, Public Safety Department spokeswoman Sherri Iacobelli said in a statement.
About 10 of the flag supporters clashed with about 30 people who were on the Statehouse grounds protesting the flag, the statement said.
“The blood on my face, the blood in my teeth, the blood on my hands is no comparison to the Southern blood that runs through my veins,” Joe Linder told CBS News.
Linder, who was hit during the fight, supports the Confederate flag and says “racism has no part” in it.
“I’m gonna tell you one thing, I ain’t sitting down; this’ll just make me walk taller,” he told CBS News.
About 50 officers responded and contained the clash, including officers from the Bureau of Protective Services assigned to the Statehouse, as well as Columbia police, University of South Carolina officers and the South Carolina Highway Patrol.
Two blocks of the street in front of the Statehouse was closed for a brief time during the disturbance.
Sydney Baldwin told CBS News the fight began when someone took his flag.
“I jumped out of my truck,” Baldwin said. “That was all I did, was grab my flag and I got hit in the side.”
Nicholas Thompson, 25, of Irmo, South Carolina, has been charged with disorderly conduct. It wasn’t clear if he has an attorney.
The Confederate flag has been a focus of protests since the fatal shooting of nine people at a historic black church in Charleston on June 17.
Public Safety Director Leroy Smith told reporters it was unfortunate that Columbia had a fight when there have been no problems reported in Charleston, where the shooting occurred.
The suspect in the Charleston shooting, Dylann Storm Roof, appears in a number of photographs online with the Confederate flag, prompting calls for removal of the flag from in front of the Statehouse.
South Carolina lawmakers are expected next week to consider proposals to take the flag down and move it to a museum.
The flag has flown at the Statehouse since the 1960s. It was removed from the Statehouse dome and placed at a Confederate Soldier Monument in front of the Statehouse in 2000.
