Burning our Flag
by SLATER BAKHTAVAR
by SLATER BAKHTAVAR
{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ It is a practice which few Americans can think about - much less witness before them - without strong emotions in one direction or the other. It is, to some, an appalling betrayal of the sanctity of the nation... while to others it is a sacred act of defiance in itself. It is perhaps the single most controversial form of political expression possible. It is the burning of the American flag. The design of the American flag was officially approved in 1777 for the purpose of identifying and protecting United States ships sailing at sea, but generally speaking, it did not become a widely recognized symbol of the US until the Reconstruction era, following the Civil War. This was when the first laws against "desecration" of the flag were passed, as concerns were raised about possible commercial or political misuse of the national symbol. The actual burning of the flag as a form of political protest occurred only sporadically until the Vietnam War, when it was used heavily to speak out against American involvement in that conflict. The issue came to a major head in 1984, when Gregory Johnson, an American Communist opposed to both Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale (the Republican and Democrat candidates for President in that year's election race, respectively) burned an American flag outside the Republican National Convention in Texas as sympathetic protesters chanted "America, the red, white and blue, we spit on you." Johnson was arrested and fined... http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/burning-our-flag?f=must_reads

CBS News Caught Lying And Slandering
WeAreChange and Free Speech
by Luke Rudkowski
{activistpost.com} ~ The mainstream media has yet again been caught doing lazy journalism with their recent attack on alternative media and free speech with another hit piece this morning. This is not the only problem this independent news organization faces as WeAreChange was just issued a legal notice from our ad company about being labeled fake news with a verified sourced documented article. http://www.activistpost.com/2016/12/cbs-news-caught-lying-slandering-wearechange-free-speech.html?utm_source=Activist+Post+Subscribers&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ff7e01c84e-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_term=0_b0c7fb76bd-ff7e01c84e-387888649

Voters Not Fooled by Democrats'
Dangerous Immigration Agenda
by Michael Cutler
{frontpagemag.com} ~ One of the most treasured hallmarks of America’s democratic electoral process is that following every election the transference of political power is done peacefully... It is also expected that the candidate that loses an election will concede the results of the election and congratulate his/her opponent and wish that person success. However, members of the Democratic Party and others, such as Presidential candidate Jill Stein, were so upset with the outcome of the election that they have made a series of false, outrageous accusations. In so doing they not only attacked Donald Trump but our most prized democratic traditions. The inflammatory and vitriolic statements made by various Democratic politicians, on all levels of government, were followed by violent demonstrations around the United States and on college campuses spurred on by the false accusations... http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/265157/voters-not-fooled-democrats-dangerous-immigration-michael-cutler

Democrats Make Massive
Move to IMPEACH Donald Trump!
by Kosar
{thepoliticalinsider.com} ~ President-elect Donald J. Trump will be inaugurated in January, but the fighting against Democrats is just starting... While Democrats are busy blaming Russians for liar-Hillary Clinton’s historic electoral failure, Senator Elizabeth dinky-Warren (D-MA) has announced that she and fellow Senators will introduce legislation to impeach Trump immediately. On what grounds? They are upset about Trump’s incredible business success around the world. Simply because the Trump Organization has ongoing foreign and domestic projects, they want Trump to divest entirely from anything that even has the remote appearance of a conflict...These liberal dems are insane. http://www.thepoliticalinsider.com/trump-impeachment-democrats-make-massive-move/?utm_source=SailThru%26utm_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=TPI%20Newsletter%2012-19-16%20Curated/Horizon%20Tier%201&utm_term=Tier%201%20Real

Muslim Scholar: Group That Sponsored
Ellison's Hajj a 'National Security Threat'
by John Rossomando
by John Rossomando
{investigativeproject.org} ~ The group that paid for U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison's December 2008 hajj to Mecca is a "national security threat," a Muslim scholar wrote in a 2010 email... Ellison now is vying to become the next Democratic National Committee chief. The Muslim American Society (MAS), the group that paid $13,500 for Ellison's pilgrimage, had ties with terrorism and had a phony commitment to the American constitutional order, al-Husein Madhany wrote in the email, which was posted on the "Muslim Justice League" listserv. He made these assertions as part of a discussion of how the Muslim community should respond to the Ground Zero mosque controversy... http://www.investigativeproject.org/5736/muslim-scholar-group-that-sponsored-ellison-hajj#

Hollywood Does Orwell
by Debra J. Saunders
{townhall.com} ~ When you see videos of Hollywood celebrities -- like the latest with Martin Sheen, Debra Messing and Bob Odenkirk -- earnestly telling Americans how to live up to their brand of liberal politics by rejecting the GOP, the first question you have to ask yourself is: Why? I still ask myself that after watching the latest pitch under the Orwellian hashtags #UniteForAmerica , the ad hoc group's disingenuous name, and #SupportTheElectors. A montage of stars sotto voice urges "Republican members of the Electoral College" to vote their conscience -- that is, against their own fellow citizens' considered election choice.
American history has seen occasional "faithless" electors turn against their states' popular vote, but the "faithless" have never changed an election's outcome. Unite For America wants to change that by urging "faithless" electors to go blockbuster. If when they vote on Dec. 19, 37 Republicans were to turn against their own to deny Trump the 270 votes needed to win the White House, the celebrities apparently believe the about-face would unite the country. You know, because Trump voters take rejection as gently as lambs.
Perhaps the -- all bow -- acting community really is that clueless. The actors urge GOP electors to be "brave." It's a nice good-cop appeal even as other Democratic partisans are playing ruthless hardball to intimidate GOP electors before they vote on Dec. 19. Websites have released the emails and addresses of GOP electors who have been deluged with well-meaning exhortations, as well as name-calling and lurid death threats. Michigan GOP elector Michael Banerian told The New York Post, "Somebody threatened to put a bullet in the back of my mouth."
While one website urged correspondents to write nice letters on paper to appeal to electors' better nature, there is no removing the other message behind the letters: We know where you live.
I understand the frustration Democrats must feel in winning the popular vote. That said, the Constitution is a set of rules, including the Electoral College.
As so frequently happens, critics become what they once opposed. Now the Hollywood left wants to trample and misrepresent the purpose of the Electoral College. Note to Sheen and company: The framers were less worried about their fellow white landowners electing an "unfit" candidate than the prospect of high-population states imposing their will on small states.
Also, anti-Trumpers charged The Donald cared more about himself than what is good for the country. Yet as Trump has been reaching out to supporters and critics, the Hollywood left is pushing for an outcome that would divide America even further. They must know it won't work, but they don't care, because in the end, it's only preening.
