Our 'resident Yankee', Phantom Lord, said almost exactly the same thing as over on the NC board.
PL:
"Question #1 to all of the RAT candidates running for president is their position on the Confederate flag.
It is the most important and pressing issue of the day.
And they wonder why they are getting their a$$es handed to them."
As the descendant of not one, but several Confederate soldiers, I am getting weary of all of this South-bashing.
When even Northerners realize the Dems are kowtowing to the NAACP about this, you know the Jackass Party is dead in the water.
I just checked mine, and between the wife and I can document 40 relatives that fought for the Confederacy (also have 25 ancestors that fought in the Revolutionary War). If Dims wanted to alienate the vast majority of their base in the South, these positions are just the ticket to a election night loss. We honor our own.
