Who writes this crap? I was a big fan of her, not anymore. Caving in on this flag issue is juvenile. I thought she was better than that. Next they I’ll come after the state flag because of the palmetto and gorget. It was the first battle flag to fly over the south.
What bothers me most about all this is that it is a pattern, in which GOP leadership cannot Fail fast enough when Obama brings up an issue he wants to exploit. In the first place, most of his issues are totally illegitimate ("the issues are never the issue; the Revolution is The Issue"), and Republicans should/would never support them.
Too, the Pew Sociology Survey back in the 1990s (and updated since then) identified the Republican business class as the group most likely to roll over on an issue like gun control; business RiNO's are uncomfortable with "the hoi polloi" owning guns anyway (uneasy consciences, guys?), and so the Pew group identified them as approachable and possibly capable of a "grand compromise" (sellout) on RKBA.
I'm concerned that Obama may be working on a stealth coup with Boehner and Turkey Neck. A senatorial working group appears (today's news) to exist already, and Karl Rove has publicly rolled over on 2A and actually called for its repeal.
