how did you get Linda Blair's kid to pose?
Pathetic, really.
BTW to previous post-er, Linda Blair is quite a wonderful person... big animal lover. I'm thinking some of the characters she's placed (Exorcist, no?) are evil...
Why do liberals always assume the confederate flag is a racist symbol? That is exactly why the South is now red instead of blue and we run elitist liberal candidates like John Kerry and wonder why we lose.
I am a Democrat, I am not proud of our country's racist past and its link to slavery. I am however proud of those southernors who fought and died for their ideals, 99% of which had absolutely nothing to do with slavery.
I agree that Dems need to understand the southern rural voter in order to bring them back. I do. However, I wish more southerners *understood* their history. And a flag that made its return to public form nearly 100 years after the Civil War and at the same time civil rights were starting to be restored has less to do with southern pride and more to do with a racist philosophy. You can sell it any way you like - obviously it worked. It just won't work here.
I'd like to ask those who feel a pride in that flag - why? Rebels were traitors. These same people who denounce the Dixie Chicks for speaking out against the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES are showing pride in ancestors who not only did the same thing, but worse - took up arms against his soldiers.
I know. I know. It's easier for them to just wave a flag and not understand sh*t about it. I know.
