julian Castro and Bobby O'Rourke back Nike's anti-American decision

"Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it."--Sir Winston Churchill (1948) 

The crisis on the southern border isn't a manufactured crisis as the Democrats first said and now admit that it's a crisis but it's Trump's fault. But the Betsy Ross flag on the Nike shoe that former NFL loser Colin Kaepernick claims is racist, is manufactured outrage.
Kaepernick is the guy who started the "take a knee" protest over the National Anthem. At the time, he claimed that he was not protesting the American flag, but he lied. The Betsy Ross flag has 13 stars in a circle, each star representing one of the 13 original colonies.

Now two 2020 presidential hopefuls, Julián Castro and fake Hispanic Robert "I Cannot Stop My Arms" O'Rourke, suddenly say the Betsy Ross flag is "hurtful" now that a more intelligent person than they are, a mediocre scrambling quarterback formerly in the NHL said so. That flag has been around since late May or early June of 1776--they had plenty of time to criticize it before yesterday, but Colin Kaepernick is evidently their inspiration and race card muse.

Castro said, "There are a lot of things in our history that are still very painful." As an example, he cited "the Confederate flag that still flies in some places and is used as a symbol."

I can understand Castro' sentiment about the Confederate flag, but forsaking our flag, tearing down statues representing our history, the history of the greatest nation on Earth. Not seeing the flag for the good it represents, rather than only looking for the bad, is like a mentally ill depressive who only sees the saddest aspects of life and eventually succumbs to his illness in the worst way imaginable. This is what is happening to the country--as a nation, we've become suicidal.

Then we have Beto O'Rourke, a pandering phony who also approved of Nike's decision, noting that "white nationalist groups" have "appropriated" the Betsy Ross flag. What difference does it matter who "appropriates" a symbol? If the Nazis, for example, appropriated the symbol of the Democratic Party, the donkey, would that therefore mean that the Party must now change its symbol? If so, then perhaps the donkey is really a jackass.

"I think it's really important to take into account the impression that kind of symbol would have for many of our fellow Americans," he said, according to Jewish Insider senior political reporter Ben Jacobs.

Of course neither Castro nor O'Rourke had anything to say when Barack Obama flew the Betsy Ross flag at his second inauguration. Somehow it wasn't a problem for him.

And I think the Democrats are desperate to distract from their lack of planning for the radical policies they are proposing, and the unwillingness by them and the leftist press to ask the tough questions about what implementing those socialist policies would create.

Just watch what happens when the Democrats finally nominate their leftist to go up against Trump. Watch how he or she pretends they never said what they said about their "free" programs, their open borders, their free college and healthcare, as they move more to the middle because they know the American people aren't stupid.

Mark my words.
