re: #14 BeachDem

What the actual fuck (sorry if this is a repeat—I don’t remember seeing it before):

Michael Hill, the president of the League of the South, which the Southern Poverty Law Center has listed as a hate group, said that the Confederate battle flag should remain at the State House but that the American flag should be removed.

The American flag, Mr. Hill wrote, “now stands for multiculturalism, tolerance and diversity — the left’s unholy trinity.” In “sharp contrast,” he wrote, the Confederate battle flag “stands for the heroic effort our people made 150 years ago to avoid the fate” of contemporary America.

How can anyone claiming to be an American citizen describe the US flag as a symbol of the Left? 13 stripes, 50 stars — the symbolism is as clear as the nose on your face.

Unless he’s making the connection that the Left = the Union and the Right = the Confederacy, in which case he means the Right has already lost the war.

Probably he has not thought that through too well.
