“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
There were no surprises in this ruling. The surprise was in the Obamacare ruling going 6-3 yesterday when any honest interpretation of the law would make voting for sustaining the law impossible.
SCOTUS' reputation will soon match Congress' in the polls.
Removing the flag from ANYWHERE is asinine. It's just another distraction to keep eyes off all the economic trade agreements currently under negotiation.
It's called "cultural capitalism" beamish. Today I sell my culture, tomorrow I exclude yours. There's obviously still a "cultural market" for NAZI flags and racist tomes. Duty, Honor and Country are "out" of cultural 'fashion'. It's been this way since '68.
Calm down, Farmer. You lost, take some aspirin and have lie down now.
ReplyDeleteI can see 'Lawn Wars' coming up. Someone puts up 4 confederate flags and his neighbour puts up 5 union flags and couple of rainbows! Could be fun...
Talking about which (Rainbows)...
So many Chimay opportunities lost here! :-<

Removing the Confederate flag from Gettysburg Battlefield is ASININE!

ReplyDeleteCan someone please explain why Amazon.com still sells Nazi flags and copies of Madison Grant's The Passing of the Great Race?
ReplyDeleteBut is falling all over itself to remove Confederate battle flags?
What's next? Dynamiting Stone Mountain?

ReplyDeleteBeamish,
ReplyDeleteWhy 1968?
Mmmm. '68 was me. '68 is when "resistance" became "part" of and was incorporated into the establishment through "Interpassivity".
ReplyDeleteThersites,
ReplyDeleteOops! Damn dilation drops! At the eye doctor's office all day.
Thanks for explaining the 1968 reference.
