Our esteemed governor made a deliberate decision to refrain from participating in President Trump’s big state fair– obviously for partisan reasons. When private concerns stepped in his place to create a pavilion or booth at the fair to represent the state of North Carolina, it was found that a Confederate flag was being displayed via video.
So Stein, having relinquished his opportunity to control what would be displayed, immediately renounced it.
This, of course, is a manifestation of his contemporary Jewish worldview. But in the process of renouncing the flag, he dishonored the millions of North Carolina citizens who have family roots in North Carolina during the Confederate period.
In addition to dishonoring them, he refused to exhibit even some semblance of balance regarding the history of that time. In fact, the South’s position was more justifiable than that of the North during that period; and the South has had many points in its favor. To suggest that flag had to be immediately renounced ignores the real record; and in fact seeks to shut down even the possibility of discussion.
Lincoln invaded the South (not the other way around). Indeed pillaged ruthlessly, raped, burned, and destroyed the South so thoroughly that 100 years later it was still the poorest section of the US (when it had not been poor at all in 1860).
He made clear that he did not attack the South because of slavery. Congress and numerous Northern states confirmed that they weren’t invading the South because of slavery. The fact was that Southern states could not be allowed an amicable divorce because they were a cash cow colony for the Northern states via the tariffs.
The men defending their homes from invasion (94% of whom had no slaves) serving under the Confederate flag deserve to be honored, not disrespected as the cockroach Dem Josh Stein does.
I agree, J. Sobran. He is beneath contempt.
