re: #161 keloyd

THIS is why I’m not lifting a finger in defense of the South this time. Today’s posturing and dog whistling is inexplicably poor long term strategy for the GOP. It also shows Michael Steele’s weakness as a leader. A respected and effective chairman would have quashed this before it started.

I WANT to point out that the US flag is the flag of slavery more than the Confederate, having been a slave-holding nation for 85 years. I WANT to point out the North’s connivance and enthusiastic support for slavery in a dozen ways. I WANT to point out the political domination of Northern political and industrial interests putting the squeeze on 2/3 of my ancestors until they were backed into a corner and squeezed back…but I’ll wait. This nonsense in Virginia is not about history so much as riling up the Nirthers and other rabble.

Don’t wait. Explain yourself.
