Yep—exactly. There were some really funny lines in that flick.

As for the contemporary issues about the Confederate Flag and the like, though, I’m now of the opinion to just let it go. There are young black men on Youtube with videos explaining their reason for displaying the same flag: generally, “southern pride.”

Why not just a tiny bit of anarchy toward being offensive to all who practice current, pretended hypersensitivities? Fly the Stars and Bars with the Jolly Roger on it, too. Many of us went through some small (and some, large) discomforts to support Americans’ right to say whatever in our United States of whatever.

We’ll get more serious about our allegiances (G-d, family and America in that order) and teaching real history to young folks again after the end of the default process, when government won’t be huge enough to make noise again for a while. For now, this is the land of public education tangents about Sacagawea, Amazons and the like. It’s up to us to tighten up and starve the beast.

Meanwhile, we’ll teach proper history and civics to our own kids (sans aging Arkansas feminists indulging in Civil War revisionism and the like).

And BTW, Susan B. Anthony didn’t get all that she wanted from the Republican Party, so she traveled with George Train, Democrat racist, on his neo-Confederate, romanticist speaking tour. She refused requests to speak against lynchings. Democrats...
