Mohamed Elibiary was a member of Obama’s Department of Homeland Security Advisory Council until he was let go last year because his radical views promoting the Muslim Brotherhood became more publicly known.
Let no one mistake what is being said here, and what this controversy is about, as the former advisor spells out the point very simply. It’s not about the flag, but about federal control.
Unfortunately, Mr. Elibiary (not to mention President Obama) seems to have skipped a lesson on the Constitution which accords to the federal government only those rights or powers specifically enumerated in the Constitution.
Indeed, that is one of the main points in the 10th Amendment, that all other powers remain with the states or the people. It is a specific and purposeful limitation of the powers of the federal government, that limitation being one of the main points of the Constitution.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Basic Constitution. But hey, his former boss doesn’t pay attention to the Constitution, so why should he?

Former DHS Advisor On SC Confederate Flag Coming Down: “Allahu Akbar”, It’s A New Day, No More States’ Rights…

New Castle County police are investigating the theft of a Confederate battle flag from outside a Glasgow home, where the words "[expletive] u racist" were found spray-painted on a boat at the property Wednesday. The case comes amid a turbulent national debate about the use of Confederate imagery and racial tension in the wake of the deadly South Carolina church shooting.
Homeowner Barry Binkley Jr. said he flew the rebel flag at his Frazer Road property for more than 15 years and never heard any complaints. He said he isn't racist and displayed the flag because it is a symbol that ties him to friends and family in the South, including cousins in North Carolina.
The banner was on a flagpole outside the ranch-style home and visible from the street in the semirural neighborhood.
His truck window also was found broken Wednesday. A second Confederate banner on his garage was not disturbed.
