Mississippi Senator and Tea Party supporter Chris McDaniel claimed that the arguments for removing the flag are steeped in political correctness; that the massacre in South Carolina should not be used to “promote a political agenda.” What McDaniel and others fail to realize is that the Confederate flag in itself promotes a political agenda: one of racism and black oppression, one with which Dylann Roof sympathized, and one that he wielded in order to cause the deaths of nine innocent people, solely because they were black. |
Too many elected official are afraid of taking strong stands, because they fear offending someone.And that's precisely why we are losing our republic.

That leader is Mississippi Republican Party Chairman Joe Nosef. Nosef tells NBC News: "I think he should clear it up as fast as he can," Nosef said. "Running for the United States Senate is a very important thing and as a party we need to always be careful and focused and serious about what our views are and what our interests are. And if Sen. McDaniel thinks that there's more to tell, to explain it, my thought as the party chairman would be, the sooner the better." You know what? I am really getting tired of these "racial" or "homophobe" or "sexist" witch hunts that are becoming a part of the American political land scape. It's coming to the point that the political talking heads and pundits seem to want us all to become rank and file Americans with ZERO diversity and if you just happened to be friend of a friend who has a friend who has an acquaintance with someone who is not an "acceptable" part of the new American landscape that they will at some point put you in stocks in the public square or burn you at the stake.
