9 KILLED IN SHOOTING AT AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCH IN CHARLESTON, S CAROLINA

I find myself in the unusual position of agreeing with Fox:

The Confederate flag and cultural fascism

And - Those that forget history, are doomed to repeat it.

I have a small Confederate flag given to me by a friend in Atlanta, it stays displayed on my mantlepiece. LL

Good for you, LL - and quite right too, many, many people all over the world have them. And it most certainly isn't because they fantasise about owning slaves.

Bad history is annoying enough, rewriting history is unforgivable. It's been tried before, and not once has it ended well.

That is an excellent piece.  

My present home had a large flag on a wall in the garage when I bought it.

Oh, I hope it didn't jump off the wall and scare you, Lily! I will leave you to imagine what others - like, Russian blogs - are saying about this and the rainbow-coloured White House. Not because anyone cares greatly about who marries who, but because of what it all says about Obama's sense of priorities.

It scared me so much Bonny that I had to put it in the attic.  It was the first time I had ever touched one.......  

I think that there should be Statewide legalized civil partnerships but the issue is such a diversionary tactic IMO.  It is like a present day pro life issue.

the issue is such a diversionary tactic

Yes, quite. But hey, that and Confederate flags stopped just about anyone noticing that Obama sold yet more American workers down the river with the TPP - news that was actually important vanished in this blizzard of social justice nonsense.

Look, a squirrel!

Nail on the head Bonny.  

Some are having a field day with this stupidity:

Jihadis 1 – Rebels 0: Walmart takes ISIS banner, rejects Confederate flag for cake order

It begs the question - what would happen if a couple of gay Southerners wanted a Confederate flag on their wedding cake?

Maybe Southerners should really annoy the Washington elites and SJWs by flying the Donbass flag?

As first reported by DNAInfo, the group announced their planned event, entitled “Burn The American Flags” — scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, July 1, at 7:30pm, at the corner of Myrtle Avenue and Washington Park — on Facebook, calling it a demonstration “for the Charleston nine and all of those killed by racist violence in America.

“We will set fire to this symbol of oppression — the American flags — and march to honor our brothers and sisters who have fallen in the long struggle for freedom,” they stated. “The Confederate flag, which Dylan Roof proudly displayed, is a lasting symbol of slavery, segregation, and the racist exploitation that still dominates our society. Dylan Roof isn’t an isolated actor – he is a product of a consistent pattern of state-sponsored terrorism and racialized dehumanization in America.”

The group describe the Stars and Stripes as a “symbol of oppression” in league with the Confederate flag. They are also designating the event BYO Flag.


Did anyone think for one minute that the SJWs and community agitators were going to stop with the Confederate flag?

Of course not.  They want even more.....

I am sure that vandalising statues of Christopher Columbus:



is really helping to solve social problems, and that all this is encouraging Americans who have never bothered one way or another about the South rising again -

TO WANT TO FLY THE BIGGEST CONFEDERATE FLAG THEY CAN FIND ON THEIR PROPERTY.

Seriously, the Confederate flag was always rather popular with young Europeans - not because they wanted to own slaves, but because it was a symbol of rebellion against the government. Mind you, that's what probably what really gets up elitist noses.

From a safe distance, it looks to me like there is some very deliberate Community Agitation going on....

You mean, Soros is funding more causes?

Someone is certainly hellbent on pouring petrol on the bonfire....

Black Suspect Arrested After Racist Message Discovered Outside Predominately Black Church
June 30, 2015 5:05 PM

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4)– A Colorado Springs man was arrested after police believe he left racist messages outside a church.
Vincent Broughton, 44, who is black, is facing charges for committed a bias-motivated crime and disorderly conduct.



The signs were posted outside the New Covenant church that is predominately attended by African Americans. One sign references the KKK. Another reads, “Black men beware, you are the target.”

The messages had the congregation on edge.
“We locked our doors this morning, so we were inside, but it shouldn’t be that way. You shouldn’t have to lock your doors in the church, it’s just… I’m speechless,” said Pastor Roland Joyner.
Police said Broughton admitted to posting the flyers but did not explain why he targeted the church.

Yes they are.  The above coordinated rampage is Macon Georgia and it happened at around 1 AM on the 26th June this year.

But...but...how can they do that to Walmart after Walmart banned that Evil Flag?

Same as someone defaced that statue.....

Latest community agitation news - the flag-burning didn't go to plan, when a bunch of bikers showed up and exercised their right to Free Speach:

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/07/01/activists-planned-to-burn-u-s-flag-in-nyc-park-when-they-showed-up-these-guys-were-waiting/

nti-police activists were set to burn the American flag at a New York City park Wednesday evening, but their plans seemingly changed when dozens of bikers and veterans came out to counter protest.

Flocking to Brooklyn’s Fort Greene Park, individuals opposed to burning the U.S. flag waited for the “Disarm NYPD” group to arrive. While most urged for peace, several bikers threatened violence toward anyone who would burn the American flag.

“We’re here to f*** up tiny liberal punks,” a biker who refused to identify himself told TheBlaze.


The promised huge demonstration against Evil Flags turned into this...



One has to appreciate the irony of the 'activists' having to be rescued from the bikers by the hated po-po. Yes, the same po-po that they wanted to abolish, only minutes earlier.

#hopey-changey#love wins

Those bikers are BIG.

DEVELOPING: The Washington Navy Yard where a gunman killed 12 people in 2013 is on lockdown Thursday after reports of an active shooter.

The National Military Command Center confirmed reports. U.S. Park Police tell FoxNews.com that officers are at the scene.

There was a massive police presence outside the sprawling facility.

In September 2013, military contractor Aaron Alexis killed 12 civilian workers at the Navy Yard's Building 197 before he was fatally shot by police. Some lawmakers have said Alexis fell through the cracks at the VA and should have been treated by mental health professionals, but they have stopped short of specifying what government doctors should have done differently.

The Navy Yard, in southeast Washington, is the country's oldest naval installation.

No word on whether this one is a social justice warrior, or a lone nutjob. I think we can safely rule out 'biker'.

It was the other option - HOAX.

Well, it is almost July 4th, Bonny.  We're on high alert for something or another........

So I gather from the US media, Lily - too many people spoiling for a fight over, well, just about anything.

It does seem that way, Bonny.  Never mind, our leaders are well protected and can sleep soundly at night.

Stay away from Chicago and befriend your local bikers, and you'll be fine.

It will be interesting to see if Chicago beats last year's stunning record of 16 dead, over 80 injured.
