CITIZENS SIGN PETITION TO BAN AMERICAN FLAG ................................................................................................ Ban the US Flag? Numerous San Diegans agreed, with one man commenting, “It sounds like a great idea.” Another individual enthusiastically responded, “I’ll sign this shit man!” “Support issuing a new American flag for the new world order?,” media analyst Mark Dice asks one man, who responds, , “Fk yeah man!” When a woman asks what the new flag will look like, Dice tells her it will include a pyramid and a rainbow for gay pride and to “signify the unity in the new world order.” “Interesting,” she responds as she signs the petition. In signing the petition, these individuals sided with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who last week called for the American flag to be banned due to its links with racism. “I don’t know what the hell the fight is about over the Confederate flag! We need to put the American flag down because we’ve caught as much hell under that as the Confederate flag!” said Farrakhan. Radio host Laura Ingraham also expressed fears that the American flag would be the next symbol to be targeted by liberals, stating, “[They’re] moving on from the flag to statues, memorials, perhaps Civil War reenactments, until what else? What else becomes an untouchable or unshowable in our society?” The hashtag #LiberalsNextBan also began trending on Twitter last week, suggesting innumerable other examples of “offensive” symbols of America that leftists will try to censor next. Last week , students at the University of Texas signed a petition to remove a statue of George Washington and memorials to other founding fathers** in another illustration of the politically correct insanity that has emerged in the wake of the Charleston massacre. infowars.com

Texas Liberals Sign Petition to Remove ‘Racist’ George Washington Statue .................................................................................................................................... June 25, 2015 by Paul Joseph Watson dcclothesline.com “It’s so bad….it’s like having a statue of Hitler” Liberals at the University of Texas signed a petition to remove a statue of George Washington and memorials to other founding fathers in another illustration of the politically correct insanity that has emerged in the wake of the Charleston massacre. Students at the University have started an actual petition to remove statues of Robert E. Lee, the commander of the Confederate army, and Albert Sidney Johnston, a Confederate general who died during the Civil War, remarking, “It is impossible to reach the full potential of an inclusive and progressive learning institution while putting an idol of our darkest days on a pedestal.” Black Lives Matter protesters also vandalized the statues earlier this week. Given the fact that America’s Commander-in-Chief during the revolutionary war against the British and first President George Washington owned slaves his entire life and only emancipated them after his death, would UT students also support a move to wipe Washington from the pages of history? The answer is yes, many of them would. Several also agreed that demolishing the statues would be a fantastic way of controlling the future by re-writing history, a line lifted straight out of George Orwell’s 1984. “It’s so bad it’s like as if you’re having a statue of maybe Hitler or someone like that,” said one trendy as he signed the petition. Others were convinced to sign after being told that eradicating the statues was part of shifting the country towards socialism. Another student agreed to sign the petition immediately after hearing the words “racist statues,” while another man said the statues represented “treason”. As we reported yesterday, CNN’s Ashleigh Banfield suggested that statues of Thomas Jefferson should also be removed because he owned slaves. Co-host Don Lemon remarked that, “There may come a day when we want to re-think Jefferson.” The L.A. Times also weighed in the farce, noting that statues of Jefferson join “other public statues depicting Southern or Confederate figures, including Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee, that some are arguing represent the country’s racist past and should be removed.” Top retailers like Amazon, eBay, Sears and Walmart have all removed Confederate flags from sale (while continuing to sell Nazi memorabilia), while Warner Bros has announced that it will stop making the iconic Dukes of Hazzard car because it features the rebel flag on its roof. Even the multiple Academy Award winning classic Gone With the Wind may not be safe, with film critic By Lou Lumenick calling for its censorship because the movie offers “the most iconic glimpse” of the Confederate flag. Nazi book burners would be proud. Numerous other Army bases, parks and memorials are also under scrutiny, with former Georgia congressman Ben Lewis Jones, who is now chairman of Heritage Operations for the Sons of Confederate Veterans, declaring the move a form of “cultural cleansing.” Demolishing history because it offends your belief system….now where have I seen that before?
