Angry protesters in Chattanooga: When

The brave people who serve in our military in the USA are gunned down with an impotent response by the government. Yet, the blithering and babbling over the Confederate Flag is what gets headlines and attention.

Where is the outrage over the ISIS Flag? Seen anyone burning one of those in the streets? Seen anyone stepping and tearing up an ISIS flag in any US city or town? Why not? As you ponder and pitch for removing the Confederate Flag because you say it represents some agenda or idea, look in the mirror and ask yourself what you think the ISIS flag represents, not far more than 100 years ago but right here, right now.

Which flag is causing more harm and death?

You're here on CD right? You say you haven't heard anything. Wow. It's down just a few thread lines.

Then I'd have to say you don't even know what you post. You one the thread about the confederate flag, as of today.

Many Black people were killed by vigilante groups who displayed the rebel flag. The old KKK was very similar to today's ISIS. If you don't think so you need to study history more. Besides that what state house in the USA flies an ISIS flag?

Many blacks are killing each other today over red or blue, Nike shoes, or for the hell of it. Also, approximately 66% percent of murders that occur between blacks and whites today are committed by blacks against whites.

So yes, OP is right on many levels to imply that the confederate flag hullaballoo is just a diversion from the important issues of the day.

The left is actively engaging in psychological manipulation techniques of diversion, evasion, denial, vilifying the victim, and outright lying. By constantly jabbering on about the minor ills of contemporary Christianity, they feel that they don't have to address the almost incessant and despicable human rights abuses coming out of Islam. By focusing on the ills against blacks that are decades to centuries old, they feel that they don't have to talk about the black crime wave that is happening right now. It is absolutely disgusting, and unfortunately, a certain percentage of whites, Hispanics and Asians are simple minded enough to fall for it.

As for the flag, you can burn it for all I care. It simply is not relevant in any way.

The people of Chattanooga were 100 percent right to try to stop that mosque and this is the consequence of them losing that fight.

Likely we will still see those marching chanting for Police officers to be murder continue and thugs on street assaulting other that practice just free speech.

Remind me again which state is flying the ISIS battle flag at their capitol and which has incorporated the same into their state flag?
