An orgy of iconoclasm … [Darleen Click]

As both a California native and someone whose great great grandfather was one of several family members who fought on the Union side during the Civil War, I really don’t have much of a dog in the fight over the Confederate Battle Flag.

I don’t doubt the sincerity of either side – that for most Southerners it is symbol of regional heritage and pride, and for many it is a symbol of pro-slavery and separatism. Indeed, in South Carolina the flag was revived during the Civil Rights era as part of Democrat resistance (often violent) to integration and civil rights for blacks..

I approach the issue as I do abortion — it may be legal, but because it is such flashpoint of conflicting and irreconcilable views, let the state bow out. No sponsorship or taxpayer dollars to the issue.

That is where it should end. A kind of Hyde Amendment for the Confederate Battle Flag. And to be decided by the people in those states. Not the screeching of Social Justice Brownshirts

The fascist-style book burning now in process is disgusting and alarming. Amazon and Ebay are removing all merchandise with the flag while leaving up all manner of Communist and Nazi images. Warner Bros is stripping all licensing for models and toys of the General Lee car from Dukes of Hazzard. A preening, sanctimonious New Yorker wants the film Gone With the Wind banished from the public and even Apple is removing all Civil War GAMES from its apps.

What cowardice. Let me know when Che t-shirts are banned from stores.
