REASON FOR THE CONFEDERATE UPROAR?

What's the real reason for all the uproar about the Confederate flag a while back, anyway?  I think I know.

It's about turning out the black vote in the South (and elsewhere).  Rebel rousing (no pun intended) fires up the voters.  It turns them out.  In the close 2016 presidential election, it may all hinge on who comes out to vote, especially in the Southern states.

How does a Democratic Party that lost so bad in the mid-terms turn out its base?  By rebel rousing, that's how.  Make the voters mad.  Infuriate them.  Give them a cause. Put Jesse, "Rev." Al, Obama and Hillary on TV gripping about the Confederate flag or Nathan B. Forrest, Jim Crow, police brutality--anything!  Just make 'em mad and get 'em to the polls.

Turning out the vote in 2016.  "Don't let them do it to us again in 2016 like they did in the Mid-terms."

Expect more and more of the 8-cylinder potty mouthing as the election approaches.

1. The other rebel rousing topic, of course, is alleged police brutality.  Keep that pot stirred, too.  In fact, the anti-police pot will have more longevity than the flag issue.  It's already working in Ferguson, Chicago and Baltimore.  Will it work in Atlanta, Memphis or Charleston, too?  I bet it will if two things happen:  

One, they bring in the heavy hitters to seize the opportunity, and 

Two, the media plays along. 

 Aw, forget number 2, that's a given.
