Denne Sweeney’s radical ‘Sons of Confederate Veterans’ group is staying out to the fight – they started when they ousted my kindred, Anthony Hodges! (Sweeney is the fat swine in photos above.) The focus of the nation and the world is coming to bear on Satan’s Dirty Rag on a pole in Charleston. I have been raving about it for years. I have paid the price. Friends and others have distanced themselves from me. They pretend to be afraid Terrorists might target them because they know me. The truth is, they are Comfortable Cowards! If Americans are very willing to go to war with fellow Americans so they can keep owning fellow human beings – what excuse have you to cower in fear?
“Let my people go!”
Bible studies are now targets. Anyone who reads, then speaks about the words of God, are in the bulls-eye. We have Bush to thank for this and his evangelicals End Time prophets who bid that moron to go on Holy Crusade. They wanted the South to win one for ‘The Gipper’ so they could privatize the Fertile Crescent, and, take away the Social Safety Net in the name of ‘Trickle-down Economics’. The South will rise again, is what they declared! Look! There goes ISIS driving our tanks and Humvees!
Above are photos of Rick Perry and his wife with Denne Sweeney and his beloved Neo-Confederates. Rick the Rebel ran for office and wanted to assure other Rebels and Shit-disturbers, he would not let Satan’s Toilet Paper be taken down. Rebel-Boy is running for office again. He says the shooting in Charleston was “and accident”. There is blood on that flag.

The ceremonies offended defenders of the flag, according to the Wall Street Journal, but groups like Sons of Confederate Veterans declined to get directly involved. Meanwhile, there is also now a Facebook group which has called for a National “Burn The Confederate Flag” Day to be held on June 27.
Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney Saturday became the latest public figure to join the call for South Carolina to take down the flag from the state capitol grounds. “To many, it is a symbol of racial hatred. Remove it now to honor #Charleston victims,” Romney tweeted.
Gun rights activists have been out in force since the massacre at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, once again blaming the slaughter on so-called gun-free zones, and claiming that an armed citizen could have otherwise stopped the attack. It’s an argument that the gun lobby has used for many years, but on Thursday afternoon it was marked by a brazen new low with comments from Charles Cotton, a longtime board member of the National Rifle Association. Cotton wrote on a Texas gun-rights forum that slain pastor and South Carolina state Sen. Clementa Pinckney was responsible for the murders of his congregants because of his opposition to looser concealed-carry laws.
“Eight of his church members, who might be alive if he had expressly allowed members to carry handguns in church, are dead,” Cotton said. “Innocent people died because of his political position on the issue.”

As controversy rages over whether the Confederate battle flag should be allowed to remain flying on the grounds of the state capitol in South Carolina after a massacre at a black church in Charleston, some are are calling for different way to treat the Civil War era symbol: Burn it.
In an op-ed Friday in the Detroit Free Press, former New York Times reporter Joe Lapointe argues that’s the only solution. “In that South Carolina will never willingly take down the flag, the time has come for opponents to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and burn the Confederate flag — at the state Capitol in South Carolina, in front of the White House,” and elsewhere, he writes.
“Of course, burning the Confederate flag would be disrespectful. That is exactly the point,” writes Lapointe, who is also former msnbc producer. “There’s no need to debate the Confederate flag issue anymore. In honor of [alleged Charleston shooter] Dylann Roof, it’s time to burn, baby, burn.”
And he’s not alone.

On Friday, a small group of activists people burned two confederate flags on Independence Mall in Philadelphia, just outside the building where both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were debated and adopted.
“If you burn a Confederate flag, to some people, that’s painful,” Mannwell Glenn, a black activist and former talk radio host said, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. “But whatever you’re feeling about us burning your sacred flag, we feel that about 100 times more when nine people are killed.”
Flag burning is protected under the First Amendment, and Glenn’s compatriots checked with a lawyer before engaging in the demonstration.
Last month, a black artist from Florida staged a ceremonial funeral, complete with cremation and burial, of the Confederate flag in 11 Southern states simultaneously, with the aim of symbolically doing away with the symbol of the Confederacy.
“The image [of the flag] brings so much toxic memories of the American experience, particularly from the African-American point of view,” artist John Sims told the Orlando Sentinel. “There’s a notion of ‘Southern Heritage’ and who owns [that], but a very important part of Southern culture is the African-American experience…. The Confederate flag is a flag of terror from its use by the Klan in the ’20s to the anti-civil-rights movement in the ’50s and ’60s.”
The ceremonies offended defenders of the flag, according to the Wall Street Journal, but groups like Sons of Confederate Veterans declined to get directly involved. Meanwhile, there is also now a Facebook group which has called for a National “Burn The Confederate Flag” Day to be held on June 27.
Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney Saturday became the latest public figure to join the call for South Carolina to take down the flag from the state capitol grounds. “To many, it is a symbol of racial hatred. Remove it now to honor #Charleston victims,” Romney tweeted.
The Stars and Bars appears to have been a important symbol for Roof. A website apparently created by Roof was discovered Saturday and shows the accused murderer posing with the flag. He was also photographed sitting on the hood of car with a Sons of Confederate Veterans license plate, which features the flag.
