Time to take an ax to the base of the liberal ivory tower of PC.

AMEN!

The Confederate flag is among the many tools and symbols that can chip away at political correctness. Jeff Foxworthy was instrumental in taking the once-negative term of "redneck" and transforming it to a point of pride -- and not just for Southerners. My view is that we on the Conservative side ought to appropriate the Confederate flag as was done with the Gasden flag as among the symbols of resistance to an overreaching federal government.

Rather than characterizing the presence of the Confederate flag at Patriotic events as "idiotic" or "stupid", the response ought to be a Cheney-like, "...so what?".

I agree. We cave on the flag, they’re already in the process of degrading the Cross-do we cave on that, because of the Inquisition? Then next we cave on the American flag because of the “indigenous people”? Where do we draw the line? When do we stop allowing them to define the narrative?
