You’re equating flying a Confederate flag with burning a cross? The former was the flag of the Confederate States; the latter a specific symbol of the KKK. You’re equating one with the other?
Methinks he was being sardonic. Or sarcastic. It’s the liberals who equate the flag with the KKK.
On the other hand, if gays can force a baker to bake a cake for a gay wedding, what’s to stop a klanner from forcing a carpenter to produce a cross to be burnt at a klan rally?
I am referring to a case where a guy burned a cross on his own property and it was deemed illegal. So there might be precedent for criminalizing flying the stars on bars on one’s own property. In the eyes of the perpetually offended, both acts are, well, offensive.
