And I think it's pretty clear exactly which side is a cancer on America, and it's not the left.
You must realize that red state America will not give up our rights, you must realize the nation risks civil war if the left imposes its agenda right? Your side cannot win if we go down that path, this is not 1865, we hold the advantage this time. How far is the left willing to go to force other Americans to live the way they would tell us to live? We will not stand for socialism, will not stand for violations of our personal liberties and rights, will not stand for institutionalized political correctness. We want nothing to do with your book burnings (whitewashing history, removal of statues all are the same thing as a book burning as is the banning of a musical act because of a so called offensive name) No we don’t want that twisted version of America.

You have no grounds to call me a racist because I despise identity politics and the leftist view of race relations. I do not agree with you so I’m a Nazi, racist, backward etc.......typical response of the left. We conservatives don’t believe in racial preferences or special treatment, nor do we believe in restricting others speech to prevent sensitive groups from being offended, all this is true. However we believe in a colorblind society, one where an individual succeeds or fails based on his own merits, one where government does not interfere in your efforts to succeed or violate your rights. Freedom, capitalism and small government helps minorities as much as it does white people. Safe streets help everyone equally as well which is why we support law enforcement. From our point of view you leftists lower the bar for minorities, expect less of them, treat them with kid gloves,.......who is the racist? I believe in America and freedom........Do you? Or do you believe in a socialist planned economy and restrictions upon our personal liberties as most leftists do?

Yawn. Once again, a righty is wrong - as always - when they think they know what lefties think.

And sure, go ahead and threaten civil war as proof the right isn't the cancer on America.

The radicals demanding socialism and restrictions on our basic liberties will be the ones responsible for causing any civil war. The left will carry the burden of blame for it because one generation (millennials) do NOT have the right to fundamentally alter this nation in such radical ways. If you do not believe in capitalism, personal liberties including the right of free speech, expression and the right to bear arms then you are not in line with BASIC fundamental American values. If one generation tries to change the nation into some type of social justice and socialist utopia and we rebel against it the radicals themselves will be at fault for causing it. They will also face the consequences of it as the left has ZERO chance of winning in any kind of civil war or revolution. I stand by my statement.....the left is a cancer upon this nation.

I notice that as those last vestiges of bigotry are endangered, the individuals who support them fight even harder for them.The Confederate flag is one example. The Confederate represents the Confederate cause. It's a cause dedicated to keeping slavery and white supremacy. When the former Confederate states got whipped, they opted for Confederate dream substitute: Erecting alot of Confederate monuments and passing the Jim Crow laws. When the Civil Rights movement began, the Confederate flag was a major symbol of resistance against the Civil Rights movement. Now that slavery and Jim Crow are gone, the Confederate flag is now a last vestige. Since slavery and Jim Crow are over with, the last things said bigots could do. All these bigots can do now is complain and fly the Confederate flag.

And alot of White people don't like the Confederate flag. It isn't only Blacks resisting Confederate sympathizers.

On another note. I don't hope for Whites to become a minority. I just want bigots of any kind to be shouted down and ostracized.

Here is something to think of. The Civil War never officially ended. A ceasefire took place and the Confederacy was dissolved. However, the hot war just devolved into a cold war.

Everything you mentioned, all those horrible things, were specifically caused by the democrats. They are Jim Crow and they are the slave owners.

Leftists and the politically correct are a cancer on the freedoms we Americans cherish, a cancer on the nation itself.

You have every right to burn those flags just as I have every right to despise what you stand for. I have no responsibility for your sensitivities on this issue or any other.
Ouch. Well, that's not a very Christian thing to say.

And yet, the majority of people who defend the Confederate flag, who seem to love it so much, are Republicans. I know you won't watch this, but this video explains why I don't buy into your argument.
