The fight over the Confederate battle flag was just another salvo in the Marxist cultural attack on all things American. The cultural genocide is in full attack against all things Southern. The Marxists claim they are about diversity, but this is a lie. They only want diversity when it helps their agenda. Even the illegal aliens are a part of that cultural genocide: They are not being encouraged to learn English and be American.

Those who want to protect this nation and keep it strong should get a battle flag and fly it proudly. Realize that when the cultural Marxists with their cultural genocide finish off the South's culture they will then turn on the rest of the United States with greater energy. Flying the battle flag will keep the nation stronger and actually be patriotic.
