Next the New York Times will be calling for the tear down of slave-owning George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate. Good thing it is not on state or federal property.

You know what makes America stupid? Politicians with no courage. Why the focus on a flag? Take about a wedge issue and we all just go down the path that the piper makes. Its like the media says “what can we use to make the republicans look racist” and viola, our guys/gals always take the premise and bait and run with it.

symbol of slavery? I thought the stars and bars were so that the newly formed CSA wouldn’t shoot the hell out of each other upon meeting engagements early in the war.

Take down my stars and bars?
Shrug. Ok, we'll rely on the racial agitators to catch up on a little history.
In the meanwhile, I'll be flying:

The U.S. flag and the British flag flew over slavery, too. So?
Heck, the U.S. flag once flew over a country where marriage was between a a man and a woman. How evil is that?
The map is not the territory. Symbols are not reality.

I’m sure that this article won’t be at all controversial.

Well I guess this flag and the large T looking object will have to go next, no doubt/sarc.

"I thought the stars and bars were so that the newly formed CSA wouldn’t shoot the hell out of each other upon meeting engagements early in the war.The "Stars and Bars" (shown in the reply below yours) is what caused the confusion on the battlefield. Hence the creation of the Confederate Battle Flag incorporating the St. Andrew's Cross.

If anything is racially offensive it is the Democratic party but I guess history is not taught in school anymore.

The Confederate battle flag is what makes America stupid Worrying about the Confederate battle flag is what makes America stupid
The war and slavery has been over in this country for 150 years. Let’s get over it already.

While I’ve usually have the highest regard for Goldman’s writing going back 15 years, on this issue I think he has turned into a blithering idiot.

No, there is a surprising amount of agreement on the topic around here. What took the politicians so long to catch up? :)

First, people should research (google) Confederate battle flag, as that had a red bar.

Don’t know or care who this “Spengler” is. His self-important intellectual preening makes this article unreadable and unimportant.

I thought it was supposed to be pork that makes you stupid. Maybe it is just all part of the “good-old-boy” culture, the Redneck credo, or something.
Just bitter clingers. Guns, God, and the spirit of the Confederacy, are all anathema to the “popular opinion”.
Really get their knickers in a knot. Whistle a few bars of “Dixie”.
