1. People who wear Confederate flags...
...should be paid in Confederate money.

11. Shelby Foote
I watched civil war historian and author Shelby Foote on C-SPAN one day. It may have been C-Span2 book notes. He was talking about one of his books, I think it was Shilo.
Then he talked about people that go around with the Confederate flag on their hats or pickup trucks. He said something like, they are a bunch of yayhoos that should have never been born to see it fly.
I saw a couple local high school kids that had a Confederate flag on a pole in the back of their truck. They were wearing football jerseys and it's my old high school and I played three years on the team in the 70's. I know the athletic director and called him up and complained. I told him that as far as I was concerned it wasn't much different from flying a Nazi flag.
He said he'd find out who it was and chew their asses.

2. It's excellent
It's been floating around DU for a while, but it's worth seeing all over again. I think it even gave a couple of DUers some creative ideas they posted about going to one of these town halls and hanging out with the crowd outside the venue. I'm sorry I don't have a link to show you.

6. It's worth seeing again and again.
The one thing about DU is that things move too quickly sometimes. I often think that some truly worthwhile posts sink too fast for most DUers to get the benefits. It's a price we pay.

5. Chek out the guy on the left in the Confederate T-shirt. At first I thought
he was wearing a kilt, but I guess it's just super-baggy shorts. What a fetching outfit.

7. What other slogans could we come up with for infiltrating the anti-everything
protests? How about "We're STILL pissed a black guy won"?

Forget Health Reform. We need Mental Health Reform. Now.

10. Wow. The Stars and Bars clash with Madras plaid
For that matter, the Stars and Bars clash with America and the freedoms that so many have fought and died for.

12. That's not the stars and bars
It's the Confederate battle flag. This is the stars and bars.

13. We knew they didn't have any shame
Now we can be sure they have no dignity. Or fashion sense.
