OK, so now Erick Erickson is a left wing panderer. Freepers are losing their freeping minds defending this thing. I find his statements of the places where this flag is appropriate to be compelling.

From my perspective, as a descendant of Union veterans, I have generally viewed the flying of a symbol of treason as a kind indulgence that a victor extends to the vanquished.

If my ancestors were owned as chattel by the vanquished, perhaps my mileage might vary.

Emotional Wave, Republican Cave

I saw this in Indiana and Arkansas back in March over Religious Freedom and now I see it in South Carolina with a flag taking a hit for mass murder.

God Bless Erick Erickson, Nikki Haley and so on....

I see absurd emotional symbolic and ultimately meaningless mass hysteria over last weeks mass murder in South Carolina.

America can do better than this.

I have posted that 95 percent of elected Republicans and much of the media we consider “conservative” support the GOP Establishment-Political Machine and have no principles.

God help this nation because with these kind of “leaders” to look to its going down.

Appropriate?????????? Compelling????????

You are advocating censorship of ideas and Traditions-—because some groups are offended-—well, that is just too bad. Sorry——we even allow Billy Ayers to step on the American Flag in posters......so what the Hey??????????????? You think that doesn’t anger some vets??????

Freedom of Speech always NEEDS defending from a Fascist government which is what we have now. We have a Right to offend.

He opened by mentioning the Bible.

“love thy neighbor” BY PUTTING THE JACKBOOT OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS ON THEIR NECKS, FOREVER!!!!!!

That is the column in a nutshell.
