Time to reread 1984.

Does anyone really believe that selling, not selling, displaying or not displaying a flag is really going have any effect on racism in this country or anywhere else? There are more than a few people out there who need to get a life.

Very interesting slant on a Brazilian town whose residents embrace the Confederate Flag:

LOL! Tom, the way things are going, with today's PC-madness and the re-writing of history, it may just happen!

That is the problem. People want to be satisfied. instant gratification. They do not want to solve problems. Much easier to pass a law and ban flags and pass another law to make it more difficult for people who obey the law to obtain a firearm. What will these additional laws solve? Nothing. But it helps feed some people's agenda. It will give a politician a soap box. Watch Hillary jump all over this. At least she will be talking...not answering questions, just talking.

It was said in jest earlier that some people are offended by the Bible so maybe ebay and amazon should stop selling them. Well think about this. Nativity displays are already being banned at public buildings during Christmas season because it offends some. So what is the next step? Does anyone see a pattern here? There were nine people murdered by a deranged individual while in church, and some here are worried about a flag.

Yes! They have an inner core of true believers, who secretly hold radical atheist, anti-monarchist and possibly proto-feminist views, at this time considered beyond the pale. They have recruited by infiltrating the numerous (and otherwise benign) Freemasonic groups which are active at this time on the continent. Necessarily they have a clandestine, compartmentalized, hierarchical organizational form and their leader goes by the code name “UN”.

Clearly Nazi Germany, it can be said, is fast becoming the trend here in America.

A pattern where government stops sanctioning certain religious beliefs and symbols of hatred. Why yes, I DO see that.

If it isn’t stopped it will ripen into a multi-headed machine of devastating fascist domination to conquer this world's people and mould mankind into their opinion of perfection. Items which meet their approval shale be bought and sold and that which does not will not. The good book shale be on the blacklist.

Have you checked lately as to what this nation of ours was founder under? Probably not. But keep talking. You are making my point. Go pass another law that means nothing. It will ease your conscious. You will get that instant gratification you are striving for when doing nothing. A lot like drugs. Are you making the phrase, "certain religious beliefs and symbols of hatred" a collective phrase? Are those certain religious beliefs...symbols of hatred?

I just hope the pattern you see opens your eyes as to what is happening here. U.S. is supposed to be about us. Not black or white, or symbols. If a flag or a Nativity set means so much to you I am afraid you have issues that I not probably no on here at the café can resolve. Just take your meds and try and stay from people and you should be fine. Just keep looking out for those flags. Smile They are out to get you. Smile

It’s just another bit of Socialism by the back door. Control what’s bought and sold and control the ideas of mankind.

Remember these racists back when this show was consistently rated as one of the most popular shows on TV. I guess the US was a lot more racist back then cause I'm pretty sure the only reason they had the flag on their car was to let everyone know what a bunch of racists they were and everyone really dug that.

The Amazon believes in a free, just, noble and unified world. One world if you will. That is their ultimate vision, though they believe it will take many steps to get there. They believe that nationalism, patriotism, separation, isolationism, different languages, different cultures, different religions and so on all inevitably lead to division, suspicion, fear and, finally, conflict. Humanity should emphasise what unites it rather than what divides it, you see. A New World Order with a single world language and a single economy where there are no boundaries and no barriers best symbolizes this new state of being. Star Trek provides a vision of such a future world. Star Trek envisages a one-world meritocracy where greed, money, nationalism, celebrity, monarchy have all been eliminated. It is this belief in one that has caused the Amazon to take this action to stop selling confederate flags. The ebay have been directed to follow this noble purpose I believe. The flag of choice is the UN or the United Federation of Planets one.

I have the news on in the background almost all day every day and I did hear both stories also. I heard the gun was a gift from his father first, but have heard overwhelmingly more stories that the money for it was the gift and he bought it himself. Mind you though (I am only quoting the news so it may not hold water) Smile

My hat is off to Mr. H.K. Edgerton! That gentleman is the voice of reason! I fully concur with him! A fine example of good thinking! I look up to people like this. And I abhor the banning of that flag! And remove it from the General Lee? What a travesty! All because some ignorant nimrod goes nuts with a gun! "Oh, we gotta ACT!" So...they act STUPIDLY! All my opinion, of course...
