I'm not arguing for or against any public policy position.

But the guy who wrote the article is. He's engaged in guerrilla theater against the Florida Supreme Court decision that display of the Confederate flag is a free-speech issue and that people's use of it can't be constrained by ordinance or public law. He's moping publicly about the injustice of it all.......which will, naturally, in due course call for a change in the legal status of people who display that flag, in order, as the NAACP keeps telling us, to help the deserving innocent "be free" from the evil presence.

Liberals always want a court to land on the other guy. In this case, the Florida Supremes have pulled the opinionator's fangs, and he is reduced temporarily to trying to gum the opposition to death.

Why are you helping him?

Believe me, it's nothing that complicated. I think I know the difference between right and wrong, and I don't let politics come between me and that knowledge. This is very much like the smoking issue, where the left has pursued government-sponsored anti-smoking policies. I don't like those policies any more than the next conservative, and I don't support them. But that doesn't alter the fact that smoking stinks and is dangerous to one's health. I'm not going to go about promoting smoking as a positive good simply in order to spite those on the left.
