Midknight Review -- new and revised: Al Sharpton gets his backside kicked by Kid Rock. Turns out the Kid has not flown the Confederate War Flag in four years. But how would Al Sharpton know? I mean, he does not pay his taxes, does not have a church, and probably does not read all that well.

Detroit: Chevrolet will continue to sponsor Kid Rock’s summer concert tour and Rev. Charles Williams II and the National Action Network will stop protesting General Motors’ affiliation with the recording artist, who said he has not displayed the Confederate flag onstage in at least four years.
After a meeting Thursday with Williams, other local clergy and executives with Chevrolet, GM issued the following statement:

“We had a very constructive conversation with Rev. Williams and we plan to continue the dialogue going forward. Chevrolet plans to continue its sponsorship of Kid Rock’s summer concert series.”
Williams, president of NAN’s Michigan chapter and pastor of King Solomon Baptist Church in Detroit, also called the meeting constructive and positive.

“There’s not a need to protest now,” Williams said. “It doesn’t mean it’s off the table, it doesn’t mean that there aren’t going to be escalated actions at some point. It just means the dialogue is going in the right direction, and we are looking forward to seeing if we can come to some solutions.”
Kid Rock had introduced the flag into his shows during the early 2000s, and in a 2002 Free Press interview he defended its use, calling it a symbol of Southern rock and rebellion.

But after the Detroit chapter of the NAACP gave him a Great Expectations Award in May 2011, he decided to stop using the flag.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
