This effort to erase the history of the south is just another example of the differances between us and the blue northern and western states. We have very little in common any more and I for one do not see any reason to stay committed to this alliance any more.

I was something on the news this morning, a big sign reading "Bring us together. Take the flag down." And I thought that whoever put that sign together must be totally clueless because removing the flag will not bring people together. It will only divide an already divided nation in yet another way.

Yep, and the "JournoList" gang is exulting in the opportunity to once again dredge up this pet issue (which has been a total non-starter for fifteen years or more). They're even trying to use this to breathe some life into Jeb's campaign.
