Horrifying moment of the day...

We're watching a video about the first black students trying to integrate. One guy was just hit in the head with a brick. Then the army, there to make sure only the white kids got in, suggested that if they let the mob hang one of the kids, the others could go freely.

"Well, how will we pick one?"

"How about we draw straws?"

"I'll go get some"

So when Bill O'Reilly goes off about those people who think the US is fundamentally flawed, I can't help but wonder if he feels the federal government was doing the right thing then. And yet so many still carry their Confederate flags around and hang to the resentment about the end of slavery and segregation. I'd say that's a fundamental flaw.

ahh. the confederate flag on the roof of my pick-em-up truck. Proudly hangin above ma gun rack. Symbol of racism and anti-gevernment ideals! Symbol of rebellion! Are you trying to say that people who embrace the ideals of the confederacy are fundamentally flawed!?
