A “Social Justice Warrior” and her fight against ugly rugs. Meet Heather Franklin. A typical proud, righteous liberal.
Heather, 33 loves to shop and seeing carpet or rugs she doesn’t like drives her crazy. So much in fact she feels compelled to take her phone out and start recording a video for later viewing.
On Wednesday morning, according to Heather Franklin, 33, she dropped one of her children off at school and took another, as well as a child she was babysitting, to Everyday Deals Extreme on Southeast 146th Avenue. Franklin said she goes to the store, which is a discount liquidator that carries a variety of different products, as often as twice a week, and she was shocked when she noticed a Confederate flag rug on display.
Even more surprising was the reaction of several store employees when she asked them about the rugs. Franklin said Wednesday over the phone that she began filming the store’s employees after they dismissed her concerns about the rug.
“Don’t care about having hate flags on your wall?” Franklin says in the video.
“How’s that a hate symbol?” asks one man in a blue shirt.
“Read your history,” he adds as he walks away.
You’d think she’d be more shocked by her own inability to provide logical reasons for her over the top outburst in response to seeing a Confederate flag. But, no she is a liberal. So, that concept doesn’t exist. Instead she decided to keep harassing employees and putting her nose where it didn’t belong. As by all accounts that fresh imagery of a nice tightly woven Southern rug really got her running too hot to slow down.
As Franklin was filming the store and walking out with what she said was on toddler on her back and one holding her hand, another man in a red shirt who later identified himself as an employee, flips her off and says, “Bye bitch. Get your kids out of here.”
Then, the man in the blue shirt reappears, now filming Franklin. “Look at this liberal,” he says.
“Yeah look at this liberal whiny bitch here,” the man in the red shirt responds.
“Hillary supporter? Bernie supporter?” he asks. “Which one did you vote for that lost. Is that why you’re in a bad mood?”
The finger might have been taking things too far, but it was enough to get Heather to come to her senses and hit the road.
This story might just be funny if it were an isolated incident and Heather the only carpet obsessed feminist playing “Social Justice Warriors” with her liberal friends.
Andrew Toolson, the CEO of Everyday Deals succumbed to pressure and issued a public apology for his employee’s behavior. In addition, to agreeing to no longer accept rugs featuring the Confederate flag from manufacturers. Maybe he truly had a change of heart but it is far more likely they’d have shut down his business if he refused to cooperate with PC culture.
But, is it even possible for liberals to cite even one valid historical argument or fact that supports banning the Confederate flag?
Continue reading on the next page to learn how even Lincoln said in letters that the topic of slavery was irrelevant to the war and only used as a northern military strategy when continent to increase the power of the federal government
The Civil War was not just about slavery. There was a sharp divide between the Northern manufacturing based economy and the Southern agriculturally based economy. Law, taxes and political power was favoring the Northern states.
Only 6% of Southerners owned slaves at the peak of slavery. 28% of free blacks also owned slaves. The majority had nothing to do with slavery despite supporting seceding from the Union to protect their individual freedom.
Furthermore, if the Civil War was only about slavery, then why did Abe Lincoln wait until just 4 months before the end of the war to sign the infamous Emancipation Proclamation?
When the American Civil War (1861-65) began, President Abraham Lincoln carefully framed the conflict as concerning the preservation of the Union rather than the abolition of slavery.
But as time went on advisors started suggesting incorporating slavery as a military strategy.
Lincoln was convinced that abolition had become a sound military strategy
The Emancipation Proclamation was nothing more than a deliberate attempt to re-brand a failing war while increasing the power of the federal government under the guise of morality and war.
Lincoln also declared that the Proclamation would be enforced under his power as Commander-in-Chief, and that the freedom of the slaves would be maintained by the “Executive government of the United States.”
If liberals feel the need to take offensive to the Confederate flag, they should also arguably take offense to the American flag.
President Lincoln and the North didn’t fight the Civil War to free slaves. Although he did use blacks as pawns to accomplish his political agenda when it was convenient. They couldn’t care less.
On Aug. 22, 1862, President Lincoln wrote a letter to the New York Tribune that included the following passage: “If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that. What I do about slavery and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union.”
Most history books also don’t talk about how the Northern army raped, pillaged and plunged their way across the South at the bidding of Abraham Lincoln.
There is a reason the left wants to remove all traces of the Confederate flag from American soil. They don’t want people to be reminded or learn about their constitutionally protected rights and their true histories.
PC culture is built on lies and supported by ignorance. People need to grow-up. History is full on tragedies. Life is not fair. Words can occasionally hurt. But, people have to toughen-up and stop being a bunch of fragile little pansies if they want civilization to continue and for the world to actually be a better, more prosperous place.
If a piece of cloth from a period of history over 150 years ago really holds that much power over an individual, they have far greater problems to be concerned about than a confederate flag.
