It starts with Confederate flags, and statues which are now essentially BANNED. History is bein re-written, and our past forgotten. The next will be the symbols of America as it allowed slavery, evil capitalism, and colonialism. The Founding Fathers were a bunch of rich, white men. Which by itself is the reason the envious, pathetic left wants to demonize them. Next will be the American flag, and symbols of our country that are anywhere near patriotic, like the National Anthem.
The left will be burning books in which they don't agree also.

If you want a Confederate statue in your backyard, that's your right. There likely are some great ones available now at a bargain price.
There's a vast difference between your rights and the defense of public statuary honoring an oppressive and racist leadership that inflicted great loss of life among millions of ancestor families while enslaving millions of others of our ancestors.
Equivocation by alt-right thinkers is pathetic.
Also, hopefully history, especially as taught in schools in the South, will be re-written to reflect objective reality rather than the "Lost Cause" lies represented by Confederate statues and spouted by alt-right posters in C-D threads and elsewhere.

Yah, the pious concern about the Confederate flags would be funny, except that as Grant & Sherman marched through the South, the Confederate legislature was still trying to figure out which of the various national flags & battle flags to choose for the ultimate time (they ran through 5 or 6 designs, as I recall). The entire risible history is @ Wikipedia, or any good source that you prefer. The Stars & Bars was the battle flag of a couple of Confederate units, the Virginia regulars, as I recall. I don't think the Confederate legislature ever got around to picking the national battle flag.
The symbols of America? Well, maybe of the US of A. I think we've done well in terms of living up to many of the promises enshrined in the Declaration of Independence & the Constitution. But opinions vary. & yes, republics are far messier than say, a Fascist Italian state or Nazi German state. Book burning was a passion for the Nazis, & possibly the Soviets. I don't recall if the Fascists went in for that kind of thing or not.
LBJ when expanding welfare said he would give them a little more , not to make much difference but they would vote democrat for 200 years.. he knew.. our tax dollars going to buy votes.
8% of blacks woke up and voted for Trump.. they are finally free from oppression of the democratic party who talk about skin color and race to separate us.. it wasn't enough. they separate us by gender, by class, and put everyone in a category to hate or divide us as Americans..
This is their complete source of power to many who are in lock step with this thinking . They use the victim card, the race card, the cause card over and over to agitate them to join them .. it is an emotion grabber of the shallow minded used as pawns . It is a very sick party.
Does the GOP serve snacks with the kool-aid that they give you to drink??

Where are confederate flags banned? What state, federal, or city court has said you can't own one?
These hysterical rants from conservatives over removing confederate memorials on public land is too funny.
They remind me of their reaction when gay marriage was being debated. Remember their shrill warnings that men will start marring their dogs, horses and daughters? I suppose it should come as no surprise that extremists will always use their twisted logic to predict absurd situations that will never come to pass...
What does gay marriage have to do with this?
