the ONLY ELECTED black governor of VA, Douglas Wilder, ALWAYS stands for the dixie battleflag, when it passes in parades & sings Dixie as loud as anyone (AND as BADLY as i do! LOL!) in the southland.

if he can figure out the TRUTH, why can't SCALAWAG WARNER????

Good question sw!

LOL! Is Warner "old Virginia" or is he a northern import?

I think a lot more of Wilder now than I did when I lived in Virginia during his term. He always came off as arrogant and aloof, and was gone from the state so much that a radio station (I think in Norfolk) printed up milk cartons with his picture on them and the caption "HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GOVERNOR?"

He is a Democrat, and liberal, but he's intellectually honest and someone that debates on ideas, not ad hominems and sound bites. That's rare these days, and deserves respect. And he does have a good sense of Virginia's 400-year history.

Unfortunately, the more common Democratic black "leader" in Virginia is somebody like that Richmond city councilman several years ago, who instigated and celebrated the burning of the R. E. Lee mural on the Shockoe Bottom floodwall.

"By trying to appease people and walk an in-between course, he [Gov. Warner] ended up making everyone mad..."

Down heah we would call him a spineless b*****d.

Kudos to Gov. Wilder and to you. One should always stand for our flag and when our national anthem is played.
