    Yeah, that's insane. I'd hate to be one of the poor schmucks getting paid $8 an hour to be forced to dig up hundred year old graves.

    This isn't simply about the Confederate Flag. Remember that for the Left the issue is never the issue, the issue is always power. They're using the flag as a means to justify their ends. This is about power and the ability of the Left to take issue with an inanimate object (the flag) as a symbol of "prevelant racism". We will not get rid of racism by banning the Confederate flag. Even when it is used at its worst, by the likes of Dylann Storm Roof, it is a symptom, not the problem. Roof was not radicalized by the dead Confederacy, but by the racial tensions kicked off by the Trayvon Martin case.

    The same racial tensions that led to the murder of two police officers by a hashtag BlackLivesMatter protester in New York City led to the massacre of nine black congregants in a church in Charleston. This surge of violence has its roots in racist activism by Obama and his supporters seeking power and political gain, but feeding racial tensions for political purposes eventually risks leading to actual violence.

    I believe Obama, Holder, Lynch, Sharpton, Soros, et al do want violence and go out of their way to cause it, seeing it as the ends justifying the means. This is how they "force change" - more laws are passed, more tax dollars are funneled in, federal government agencies expand or new ones get created, etc. Wealth redistribution, social justice, more federal government control, etc, etc.
