   Here’s a suggestion: The President can federalize elements of the National Guard in times of national emergency (like Hurricane Katrina) or terrorist attack. The President should federalize an element of a National Guard division from, say, a state like mine, New York or New Jersey and order it immediately into Columbia, South Carolina, with the mission to remove the Confederate flag at the capitol. Symbolically, it would make the bad government of the place own its shame, show the behavior of decent people and force many many others to think very hard about where they stand.

   Sounds suspiciously like Helm’s Derp . . . .

   Expect WhiteManistan to do the right thing? It’ll never happen. You wait, this will eventually be twisted around so thoroughly there will be another surge in white people buying guns and ammo. You wouldn’t trust the state government in South Carolina to do anything appropriate. Which is why the feds should step in, charge him with terrorism offenses, and take Roof off the state’s hands. Terrorist charges inspired by the ideology of the old South and white supremacy would fix it in history whether the tribe of delusion and refusal liked it or not.

   Pretty much, yeah.
