Of course it is not a federal issue but folks like Biden made it a campaign issue saying that it "should be taken
elsewhere". I just thought that was rather disingenuous. I thought I heard McCain say that it _was not_ a federal issue
and would not bring it up, i.e. leave it to South Carolinians to decide. I think it would be a nice gesture to the
decent, nonracist, traditional people in the south with roots in the Confederacy to leave it flying, in defiance of the
ultra radical extremist politically correct left leaning liberal loonz who would insist that the Rebel flag is a symbol
of slavery, which in one obvious sense it is and in another is completely not. Honor history and leave it flying as a
reminder of the fact that slavery actually heppened in the USA and in honor of the people who took pride in their
homeland and not in the disgrace that was the slavery that happened there. The northern states can share equal blame
with the southern states for the slavery era. It was absolutely unbelievable that it was ever allowed to happen as the
same is true of the abuse of the Irish during the potato famine, and the invasion of Tibet by the Chinese, Pol Pot's
regime, Nazi Germany, genocide in Russia, the Spanish Civil War, the war in Central and South America in the latter half
ot the last century and on and on.
