Good bye and good riddance to the rebel flag

Good bye and good riddance to the rebel flag

As a child of the 70's I have to admit that I'm a little surprised at how quickly and completely the rebel flag seems to be falling into the same untouchable category as the swastika. I didn't think we'd see the demise of the stars and bars in my lifetime. It has always been venerated by particularly showy and repugnant southern racists, but it has also been something else.

Sen. Patti Blevins: 1  NRA Lobbyist: 0. That's the result of one of the more unusual confrontations in recent Delaware legislative history. Unusual because it's so not 'Delaware Way'. And unusual because someone called out the NRA for lying. Also unusual because both Blevins and the lobbyist in question, Rich Armitage, do not generally court controversy. And most unusual in that the President Pro-Tem stated that Armitage "could have faced felony charges for his allegedly false testimony about closed door negotiations involving the gun rights group and the Attorney General's office over language regarding the marketing of firearm safety programs."
