In his recent post Why Does S. Carolina Love Their Treason Flag? Booman rhapsodizes panty-twistingly over the current Confederate flag brouhaha being waged in the media (and in the halls of bought-and-sold-legislators-and-other-pols-who-are-only-trying-to-figure-out-what-move-will-best-get-them-reelected) regarding “banning” the damned thing. (Have you noticed how successfully “banning” illegally held weaponry has turned out? “Banning” illegal drugs? Please!!!)
Before centerfielddj or some other clomp-clomp-clomping centrist clown in progressive drag stomps in yelling bloody murder about my supposed racist or southernist sympathies, I want to emphasize that I am no fan of the Confederate flag. Truth be told, I am not much of a fan of any national flags, past or present. Please name one for me that has not waved time and time again over wars of racist, culturalist, religious and/or wars of economic imperialist slaughter on one level or another.
Again…Booman asks the question:
Why Does S. Carolina Love Their Treason Flag?
And I ask the obvious counter-question:
Why do U.S. citizens love their Treason Flag?
Really.
Read on for more.
First of all…a useful primary definition of the word treason. (Emphasis mine):
treason: the crime of betraying one’s country, especially by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government.
Forget about all of the stupid wars of the last 65 years or so that were fought under the American flag. Forget about the multiple betrayals of most of concepts presented in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence over the entire history of the U.S. Forget about the near-genocide of the Native Americans. Forget about the still-ongoing economically and socially-enforced near-slavery state of the majority of darker-skinned U.S. citizens. Forget about the absolute takeover of the government by multinational corporations. Forget about it.
Forget about all of that and concenrate on the word “treason” as defined above.
And then think about:
JFK, MLK and RFK. Plus numerous others who knew too much.
Assassinated.
By whom?
C’mon…
Cui bono?
To whose benefit?
C’mon.
Please.
Whaddayou, kiddin’ me or what?
Cui bono?
C’mon.
So…instead of blathering on about a nearly extinct subculture that lives so far in the past that it still worships a flag that the forces of history absolutely obliterated in terms of any practical power about 150 years ago, why not take on the real problem?
The American flag.
I think we need a new one.
I really do.
One that somehow proclaims the true equality of the races.
All of the races, and all of the members of those races.
That’d be sayin’ sump’n, wouldn’t it?
But alack and alas…ol’ Cleanhead knew.
Yes he did.
On with the dream.
