So the flag symbol is on the way out. What about the reality? [View all]

We all know that the southern rag of a flag is nothing more than the sign that hangs over the doorway of the house of ignorance and hatred. So when do you suppose what's inside that house will go?

One of the first things that must go is voter suppression. The haters have many means for preventing people from voting. Black people, students, the poor, and so many more are turned away (or intimidated away) from the polls to ensure the continuation of "white power." And that doesn't even cover the voting machines that flip votes, the "cleansing" of voters lists, or "lost" votes. Once everyone has access to the polls, the house of hatred will quickly collapse.

And let's not forget who it is that is all for voter suppression. It is the Republican Party.

I'm glad to see that flag is on the way out. And it's way past time to get rid of what it stands for.
