Dickson County public schools in Tennessee last week announced that they had banned all flags because some students had been flying Confederate flags on their vehicles....
"This is not about a school district in Tennessee," Fox News host Tucker Carlson opined on Sunday. "This is a about a long-term trend where the people who run everything -- the elites in Washington, New York and L.A. -- despise rural America and its culture, suspect anybody that doesn't live in their cities of being a bigot, and they're trying to crush that culture by banning its symbols."
"Not just the Confederate flag, but the American flag," he continued. "They hate expressions of patriotism. It makes them uncomfortable. Let's be honest."

I remember on Jan. 20th 2009 him on Morning Joe (why? No one knows) absolutely bitching about all these people in his city and the streets cut off for security and how he couldn't walk down to get his morning paper/breakfast/coffee. He sounded positively Parisean.
