It is only a matter of time (and it will be astonishingly short) before display of the familiar Stars and Stripes, the United States national flag, is banned from display, just like the Northern Virginia battle flag, the Stars and Bars, is being driven underground everywhere.
The Stars and Stripes will be deemed too “reminiscent” of the “oppressive” history of the bad old United States of America, a nation once located on the North American continent, but now apparently eclipsed by history.
Fundamental transformation can go TOO far, you know.
Consider South Africa.
For the record, the Battle Flag is not the Stars and Bars.
The Confederate Battle Flag is also known as “The Southern Cross”
The Stars and Bars was the national flag of the Confederacy.
We all know this kind of thing is going to be proposed...we're all predicting it mournfully...but what can we do to STOP it? We're Americans. We put men on the moon. We can't stop this?
