The Confederate F**g Doesnt Belong to Dylann Roof
By Patrick J. Buchanan June 26, 2015, 12:05 AM
I will never be able to hold her again, but I forgive you.
So said Nadine Collier, who lost her mother in the massacre at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, offering forgiveness to Dylann Roof, who confessed to the atrocity that took the lives of nine churchgoers at that Wednesday night prayer service and Bible study.
If there is a better recent example of what it means to be a Christian, I am unaware of it. Collier and the families of those slain showed a faithfulness to Christs gospel of love and forgiveness that many are taught but few are strong enough to follow, especially at times like this. Their Christian witness testifies to a forgotten t***h: If s***ery was the worst thing that happened to black folks brought from Africa to America, Christianity was the best. Charleston, too, gave us an example of how a city should behave when faced with horror.
Contrast the conduct of those good Southern people who stood outside that church in solidarity with the aggrieved, with the Ferguson mobs that l**ted and burned and the New York mobs that chanted for the k*****g of cops when the Eric Garner grand jury declined to indict. Yet, predictably, the cultural Marxists, following Rahm Emanuels dictum that you never let a crisis go to waste, descended like locusts. As Roof had filmed himself flaunting a Confederate battle f**g, the cry went out to tear that f**g down from the war memorial in Columbia, South Carolina, and remove its vile presence everywhere in America.
Sally Jenkins of the Washington Post appeared front and center on its op-ed page with this call to healing: The Confederate battle f**g is an American swastika, the relic of t*****rs and totalitarians, symbol of a brutal regime, not a republic. The Confederacy was treason in defense of a still deeper crime against humanity: s***ery. But if Jenkins h**e-filled screed is right, if the Confederacy was N**i Germany on American soil, then not only the battle f**g must go.
The Confederate War Memorial on the capitol grounds honors the scores of thousands of South Carolinians who died in the lost cause. And if that was a cause of t*****rs and totalitarians and about nothing but s***ery, ought not that memorial be dynamited? Even as ISIS is desecrating tombs in Palmyra, Syria, the cultural purge of the South has begun.
Rep. Steve Cohen wants the name of legendary cavalryman Nathan Bedford Forrest removed from Forrest Park in Memphis and his bust gone from the capitol; Sen. Mitch McConnell wants the statue of Confederate President Jefferson Davis removed from the Kentucky capitol.
Governors are rushing to remove replicas of the battle f**g from license plates, with Virginias Terry McAuliffe the most vocal. Will McAuliffe also demand that the statues of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson be removed from Monument Avenue in Richmond?
Take Down a Symbol of Hatred, rails the New York Times. But the battle f**g is not so much a symbol of hatred as it is an object of hatred, a target of hatred. It evokes a hatred of the visceral sort that we see manifest in Jenkins equating of the South of Washington, Jefferson, John Calhoun, Andrew Jackson, and Lee with Hitlers Third Reich.
What the f**g symbolizes for the millions who revere, cherish, or love it, however, is the heroism of those who fought and died under it. That f**g flew over battlefields, not over s***e quarters. Hence, who are the real h**ers here?
Can the Times really believe that all those coffee cups and baseball caps and T-shirts and sweaters and f**g decals on car and truck bumpers are declarations that the owners h**e black people? Does the Times believe Southern folks fly the battle f**g in their yards because they want s***ery back? The Times editorialists cannot be such fools.
Vilification of that battle f**g and the Confederacy is part of the cultural revolution in America that flowered half a century ago. Among its goals was the demoralization of the American people by demonizing their past and poisoning their belief in their own history.
The world is turned upside down. The new dogma of the cultural Marxists: Columbus was a genocidal r****t. Three of our Founding FathersWashington, Jefferson, Madisonwere s***eowners. Andrew Jackson was an ethnic cleanser of Indians. The great Confederate generalsLee, Jackson, Forrestfought to preserve an evil institution. You have nothing to be proud of and much to be ashamed of if your ancestors fought for the South. And, oh yes, your battle f**g is the moral equivalent of a N**i swastika.
And how is the Republican Party standing up to this cultural lynch mob? Retreating and running as fast as possible. If we are to preserve our republic, future generations are going to need what that battle f**g truly stands for: p***e in our history and defiance in the face of the arrogance of power.

Abraham Lincoln said in a letter to Horace Greeley on Aug. 22, 1862 in which he wrote:
My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy s***ery. If I could save the Union without freeing any s***e I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the s***es I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about s***ery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union.

There are many faces to our past heroes including presidents. It would seem however, until a few years ago they all had one thing in common.
They loved America, they were willing to give their lives and their lively hoods for the security of our nation. Sad to say that is no longer the case.
Those in positions of power have sold their American birthright for personal gain. Be it power, fame, or greed America comes last, even behind we the people.
Blaming the Confederate F**g for a Godless tragedy is comparable as an ant k*****g a elephant. Where have all the statesmen gone?

These folks just don't get it. It's not about dem vs repub or con vs lib. It's about the Citizens of the U.S vs a tyrannical political class rife with corrupt career politicians, every one of which needs to be run outa town on a rail. It's a damn shame but, the way it looks to me is, we're already doomed.
