Right Wing Rednecks Won’t Let Go Of Their Stupid Flag

Southerners are rallying to get the Confederate Flag back up, but what they’re really longing for are the days when they could mask their bigotry in a flag. Now that they’ve been exposed, they don’t know how to react and they certainly don’t like the national attention that is now being paid to the rampant racism of the American South.

Ring of Fire’s Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins discuss this.

so I can avoid him. There is nothing that has taken their flag away. Even if they can no longer drop by WalMart and stock up on them, they can still buy them from skeevy websites all over the net. Hell, even Amazon is still selling them.

I don't want that flag on public buildings. It doesn't belong there.

They've lost their flag the way Christians have lost their ability to worship.

on government property - the peoples property - all peoples property. They can take the flag down and move it to any private property they want to, they can have it in their homes, on their cars, on their clothes.

What is being asked is that it be taken off of the public property that belongs of all citizens of the state.

Poor babies.
