#####This idea that if the Confederate Battle Flag doesn’t fly, the Stars and Stripes will come down too appeals to a lot of people, but it’s pretty self-serving, and how much sense is there in it?#####
Do you think the anti-Rebel Flag movement in Virginia (or any other state) is being driven by patriotic type folks down at the local VFW post? No, it’s being driven by the far left-wing of the Democrat Party. People such as the anti-second amendment writer whose column started this thread.
Griswold led to Roe. The 1965 Immigration Bill led to open borders amnesty. The Lawrence ruling has led (or is leading) to same sex marriage, hate speech laws, Christian charities being banned from assisting orphaned children find homes, etc. And purging the stars & bars will open an assault on Old Glory.
How about letting the people of Virginia vote on this issue? To the best of my knowledge there’s only been one referendum on the stars & bars, and it won with flying colors (in Mississippi a few years ago).
#####What flag would we fly if not Old Glory?#####
I’m sure Code Pink, La Raza, the SPLC, and Daily Kos will design a real pretty one.
Movements are driven by kooks a lot of the time. They're the ones with the energy.
But Douglas Wilder, a decorated veteran of the Korean Conflict has taken objection to some displays of Confederate flags.
I'm not saying I agree with Wilder's politics, but you're way too apocalyptic about this issue.
This is something that responsible people are going to sort out, not the end of the world.
