And you probably thought this nonsense would stop with the a ban on the confederate flag. :)

One thing I've learned in life is that the nonsense never stops.

I used to hang out the flag of the United States of America on my porch front every 4th of July for 35 years. I'd usually get around to taking it down around that time of year that the gutters needed cleaning. Then my son grew up and moved into a home of his own,.......... And he stole my flag to put on a pole in his yard. Later I received a gift from him and without completely ripping open the package I could see enough red, white and blue to know he'd gotten me a new flag for myself. He's a good boy.

So when the next 4th rolled around I unfurled and hung my new flag in my old spot on the front porch. Lo and behold. Yes, it had the correct number and colors of stripes ...........but there were only thirteen stars in a circle. It took me all of one minute to get used to that flag. I can see it from where I am now sitting. Hundreds of vehicles per day see it. It is very prominent and is visible from way down the street.

The sad thing is that you believe those thirteen original colonies were "slave holding" States. As if they pinned their identity on Slavery, the way the Confederacy did.
