No, no change of heart, but it is a pretty stupid topic. I can’t defend flying the old Stars and Bars over a government building in the Union, but at the same time, it’s ludicrous to act like this dopey issue of the flag going to solve racism in either direction.

No one on the plotting Left--as opposed to the "useful idiot" Left, really believes that this has anything to do with "racism." It is all about ratcheting up the effort to suppress anything in the Southern, American or Western Tradition, that rooted Americans can rally around to reverse the descent into a monolithic Socialist/Egalitarian society.

This was also, you may recall, part of the ratcheting up that took place in the 1999 through 2002, effort.

It is terribly difficult for Conservatives, who--however we may differ among ourselves as to particular priorities--still recognize the need for some sort of moral compass; to really understand the hatred--not idealism or altruism--but pure hatred that drives the Egalitarian/Collectivist in the war on reality. But none of these antics will ever make any sense until one realizes that that is indeed the driving mechanism.
