And so Dino is revealed to be just another liberal twisting facts to fit his agenda. It was NOT a confederate flag but, as Zorn clearly explained, a flag "of the Confederacy." Plus it was only a "pattern." Nothing wrong with wearing patterns of what you don't represent--prominently, and in venues which frame them symbolically. Stand your ground, Senator Zorn! We all know what the media mob was up to. We see this every week when ordinary Americans flaunt "patterns" the media mob doesn't like.

It's always weird when you talk to one and they say "you know, were not racist, Republicans freed the slaves" then several months later they (as elected officials) justify raising a Confederate flag because "it's about our heritage". |
