I really love how as soon as she started crying, the camera zoomed in for a tight shot of the tearful governor who likes the confederate hate flag flying over the state capitol.
Edit: I've been informed that the hate flag is at ground level, not over the Capitol. AFAIAC, it should be burned right off the flag pole.

That flag is an abomination. Guns allowed in church is an abomination, too. And our dear darling St. Nikki of the Crocodile Tears was all for that, as well.
And those who still embrace that hideous hate-rag need to GET THE FUCK OVER IT. GET OVER IT!!!!! That's what people on their side told us when we objected to the stolen election in 2000. "Get OVER It," they said. "Sore Losermen" they called us.
Well, back atcha ALL then. YOU get over it. We're still having a problem with Selection 2000? And we're supposed to get over it? YOU'RE still complaining about the outcome of the Civil War. How long ago was THAT??? YOU guys GET OVER IT.

(14,337 posts)I never knew, being from the North nor of Scots heritage, that the Confederate Flag is a CORRUPTION of the two red x's from St. Andrew's (patron saint) Cross of Scotland. Doing some research, I learned it came from the large number of people in the South who traced their ancestors to Scotland.
I always wondered about Florida's State Flag since it always reminded me of that Confederate flag, but it is more in line with the original symbol of St. Andrew?
Am I right about this?
