They won't stop - the demands will escalate. Nothing will ever be enough to satisfy these Radicals.

What do these US military bases have in common?

Fort Bragg
Fort Rucker
Fort Hood
Fort Lee
Fort Benning
Fort Gordon
Fort A.P. Hill
Fort Polk
Fort Pickett
Camp Beauregard (Operated by the Louisiana National Guard)

Every one of them is a Military Base named after a Confederate Officer - the push is already on to rename all of these Military Bases. The Pentagon just said they won't do it ..... but, I doubt the Radicals will let it go. Book burnings/bans, Memorials, Statues - what's next?

Slave owners signed the Declaration of Independence AND the US Constitution - I guess we need to Burn it.

I hope they don't change the names of military bases.

So was the idea of attacking the Rebel flag. Totalitarianism starts with individual opinions.

Pretty much every totalitarian society has restricted "incorrect" speech. Much like today's liberals.

Or maybe somebody can come up with a new flag we can all start waving, a sort of no confidence vote for the country since everybody seems either to hate it way back when, to hate it now or hate where its headed.
Can't agree with you more, this stuff is getting disturbing, these people have got to be mental.....

Not to be political about 'GWTW'... I've seen it more than once, first time myself at nearly twenty years old. I thought it was probably the most useless movie I had ever seen. Saw it again and was convinced. Today, I still think so.

That flag does exist... it's done by flying the U.S. stars and stripes flag upside down. Seems to be seen more frequently these days.

A Nutter in S. Carolina murdered 9 people, a Nutter in Connecticut murdered dozens of school children, a Nutter in Colorado murdered people in a theater, a Nutter in Arizona shot up a Political meeting, a Nutter in Washington D.C. murdered people at the Navy Yard. We haven't banned School, Movies, Political meetings or the Navy (yet) ..... but the Leftist Radicals are going after an old Battle Flag that had zero to do with slavery, Books on the South, Memorials to past Presidents, the names of Streets/Schools/Public Buildings and Military Bases ...... that's just the beginning. I expect they haven't thought about bulldozing cemeteries and tearing down old Southern Plantation homes yet .... but they will probably go there also.

In the meantime - nobody much is even thinking about those poor people that yet another Nutter Murdered.
They have a Mission, I guess Riots/Burning/Looting will come if they don't get their way.

Darn good thing that none of these Nutters had a picture of themselves holding a Bible or a US Flag - we would have to ban those also. Nothing will EVER be enough to satisfy these Leftist Radicals that are consumed with emotionalism and phony 'outrage'.

Are the Teabaggers just getting stupider by the day? Liberals unlike conservatives never challenge freedom of speech. It's a good glimpse into the minds of Tea people that their little pea brains can't distinguish between government tacit approval and outright bans.

Apple just removed games with it in there. I dare say you are underestimating just how far some fanatics will go.
