"Burn the American Flags Event" - Progressives Now Attacking American Flag

And so it begins…

I had seen commentary from Rush Limbaugh and a Fox commentator that the next step for the Progressives, after attacking the Confederate flag, would be to attack the American flag. Sadly, I agreed and wondered how long before it would begin. Well, not long…

begin? where have you been the last 70 years?

Ahhhh… good ol’ “Freedom of Arson”… often MISTAKENLY referred to as, ‘Freedom of… ‘expression’…’ :no:

I’m waiting for someone to practice freedom of arson on some liberal sacred cow - just to see how they react… :rolleyes:

Point was how long before it was tied directly to Dylan Roof and the Confederate flag. I’m more than aware of a history of flag burning. But thanks for the lesson anyways.

Black racism is the in thing now days is guess? Will Obama and his administration condemn the actions of his people?

As the Progressives continue fueling the fire or racial tensions & inflating the black communities sense of entitlement, blacks will be acting out more often and on a larger scale. When whites (and all other nationalities for that matter) become tired of their savage behavior and push back, it will not be pleasant.

Light up a rainbow flag? Burn a Mexican flag? I don’t think that most idiots would identify the UN flag. Burn a Che Guevara shirt, that will piss them off.

Why isn’t the MSM showing that the Confederate flag burners are the same ones that burn the American flag? Do a video of these clowns and then intersperse videos of chuckle heads in the middle east burning the US flag. Talk about guilt by association.

The burned flags in Denver, why doesn’t someone hack the sprinkler system and douse those idiots.

Wow. I thought this would come soon, but not this soon. Guessing with slightly more than 500 days in office they need to get their freak on before the messiah leaves and their protective umbrella lessens a slight degree.

Fine, let them start a war; it won’t end well for them. The vast majority of those who support them are cowards anyway.

I’d prefer the Emperor’s nakedness finally be revealed. The more radical they get, the more they push the moderates the other way. The moderates were leaning left for years because they were sick of the right constantly adding new laws and government programs to regulate and restrict moral behaviors with which conservatives disagreed. For example, most people supported gay marriage with the attitude of “Oh, for Pete’s sake, just let them get married and leave them alone!” They thought, as I did, the idea of a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage was utterly idiotic. But then the left went further and said no, you’re not allowed to just let them get married. You must openly and actively support them. You must not be allowed to even personally be opposed to the idea. Those who oppose it must be forced to support it. And now, spurred on by last week’s string of legal victories, they’ve taken a step further and said, you know what? While we’re at this, let’s just bring down the whole system, because that was the plan anyway. Suddenly, the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck look like the lesser of two evils to moderates.

As I’ve said before, I fear we could be looking very soon at something similar to the Troubles in Northern Ireland in parts of our country. I hope not, but the radicalism is reaching its peak. However, as they get more radical the support for such operations wouldn’t be very popular, so maybe it’s a good thing they’re doing this now.

While not attempting to take away anything from what is happening now; what is happening now is really a tempest in a tea cup compared to 1967-70.

In other words, it’s going to take a lot to get to how bad it was back then.

Buckle your seat belts, we’re going to experience a bit of turbulence ahead.

All you Yankees that were cheering on the removal of the CSA flag (calling our ancestors traitors and all that nonsense) - didn’t I tell you this was NOT all about just removing that flag?

Didn’t I say, just wait…they will find something YOU like and want to remove that next?

Well…there you go.

Yep, you were right when you suggested this in the other thread. Any guesses folks on what icon is next on their agenda now that the ball is rolling?

I’m glad they clarified their stance…

From the FB page…

We changed the name of this event to “Burn the American Flag.” We did this for several reasons, all of which are hopefully obvious, and should ring true to everyone with a conscious. The Confederate flag has long been a symbol of white supremacy, slavery, and Jim Crow. However, the Confederacy lost the war the American flag has unceasingly, from the first day it was ever hung, represented the exact same thing.

It is the under the banner of the American flag that millions of black people have been incarcerated in this system of 21st century chattel slavery. It is under the American flag that Iraq, Vietnam, Nicaragua, and a countless list of countries were bombed into oblivion. It is under the American flag that Eric Garner, Akai Gurley, Sean Bell, and countless other black men were executed. And it is under the American flag that black people have never found justice. As Malcolm X said for black people “if you are south of the Canadian border you’re in the south.”

It is for this reason we changed the name: to not create any confusion about where we stand, and to make it crystal clear that the American system in its entirety must be condemned. Both flags are American flags and both flags deserve the same disdain from all of us.

Who cares, its not like anyone is going to stop them. The only people with balls for action are the ones doing things like burning flags, stomping on flags, tearing flags from government buildings, Adam and Steve getting hitched, etc. The only people you see who disagree are the ones on the sidelines bitching about it and nothing else.

There is also footage of a person going around the University of Texas campus, getting signatures to remove the statue of George Washington from the campus.

The flap over the flag in SC was NOT just about that flag…wake up people.

For the “Tolerance” preaching crowd to be so, not only intolerant, but oblivious to that fact, is the height of irony.

These people are clowns.

We should afford them the seriousness we would afford to a slobbering, yammering idiot. Their hypocrisy just undermines their “crusade.”

These people are parasitic scum. If only we could commoditize stupidity, this nation would be out of debt overnight.

We are watching a very important transition point in our history. Barack Hussein put it best when he planned “to fundamentally change the country”.

The progressives/socialists/communists - tyrants to be - smell blood.

Not surprised as I was checking out the group’s FB page the heavy stench of Marxism. Interesting little poster they were bragging about. Might it be determined, in addtion to destroying the capitalistic system, it also wants to destroy the “white traditional family”?

How long before they join forces with the LGBT hardcore progressives?

Well…some here cheered the removal of that flag in SC. Calling those that served in the CSA Army traitors and such. Yippee!..that nasty ol’ Southern flag is coming down! Suck it up you toothless redneck Southerners! …and so on.

THAT is why you never should have cheered for it to come down. That was just the beginning…the low hanging fruit if you will.

Now they’re coming for things YOU like and hold dear.

We bombed Nicaragua into oblivion?

I find it ironic the flag they are burning dates from 1960, after the end of slavery and segregation.

The ignorance is strong with these people, the same ones that morn the loss of one of their children by burning down the neighborhood he was from.

The hate the United States, period. The radicals are now feeling bold enough to say exactly what we’ve been told we were paranoid for warning people about for years. It is the very definition of political radicalism: The belief that the system is completely rotten at its very foundation and thus, can never be fixed and therefore must be completely destroyed and replaced with an entirely new system. Yes, the left wants to destroy our way of life completely, and at this point, I’m thinking they will use every means available.
