Flag Daze 2
The Inky notes that the Stars and Bars seems to be gaining popularity in Yankeeland. A nugget:
“I’ve had truckers come to me and say, ‘I can’t buy these things anywhere,’ ” Hauber said. “Places just stopped selling them.”
Hauber said that he doesn’t support slavery, but that the Civil War was also about states’ rights.
This question was not asked (or, at least, not mentioned in the story):
-
States’ rights to do just what, exactly?
One more time, when someone says, “states rights,” ask that question.
Then please let me know what happens.

Famous lines: “My granddaughter is half-black.” “Everybody loves each other on this block.” Oh, I bet they do. Greece has the Golden Dawn, other Euro nations have their fascist political parties. The US has the biggest one of all, neo-Confederacy, or my WhiteManistan. As things become worse, more Confederate flags fly. As the food stamp rolls increase, the vicious attacks on them do so too, and in the red states where more of the people are on them, more Confederate flags.

The lack of self-awareness is as stupefying as it is stupid.
