. . . . the problem wasn't so much that this asswipe is waving the flag of treason and sedition alongside the USMC flag . . . .

. . . . the problem was more that no one seemed to MIND, much less be embarrassed by it all.

They're mutually exclusive concepts: either wave the rebel flag or the flag of a service that fought the rebels.

I think that the bigots see that their way or racism is dying and they only thing they have left is to shoot ,those not like them, down in cold blood.

What kind of mind is it that can take a life like that?

On this 150th anniversary of the surrender at Appomattox

I'd just like to mention that here in Richmond we have an impressive number of 2nd place trophies scattered around the city.
