Flying a Flag of Insincerity

NEWS ITEM: COLUMBIA, South Carolina — More than 50 years after South Carolina raised a Confederate flag at its Statehouse to protest the civil rights movement, the rebel banner dating back to the U.S. Civil War will be removed today.

EDITORIAL: This leads to the question: How come the rubes, who claim the flag was to honor Southern heritage or Johnny Reb’s valiancy in the face of a lost cause, evidently didn’t give a shit about any of these for a hundred years up until – oddly enough - the start of the civil rights movement, you know when blacks wanted to vote ‘n stuff?

BILL

PS: And remember, kids, henceforth call it what it is and always was: the flag of treason.
