Lowering the flag over a State House, OK I get that, and we can have an open debate whether its time for it to come down.  But the obliteration of any visual image of  “the FLAG” including banning the sale of  Civil War video games?   Really? Really?   Does any of that nonsense heel the hurt in Charleston?   Or does it divide a nation once again?

LIKE!

..and of course we understand that healing the hurt in Charleston is only secondary to the agenda of these dividers.
Never let a tragedy go to waste.

Divisive, identity, politically correct tactics have spawned an outrage industry among the snapshot, simple-minded among us.  And, there are so many.  I fear the only thing that can pull us out of this vortex is a cataclysmic event that rattles us to our existential core.  Otherwise, there is no pulling us out of the rabbit hole we are spiraling in to.

... shades of what it must have been like in Germany 1933.

I had to correct that sentence.

Exactly, precisely my thought.  I tangentially made this reference on another thread a moment ago.  We are on an exponentially accelerating slope.
