(Info only: the Stars & Bars is the 1st National whereas the one on the state grounds is the Battle Flag. BT)

The threatened and/or actual presence of determined, armed pro-freedom actors in the same immediate area as government troops causes predictable de-escalation by the government forces.

While saying no is admirable, the word has to be backed up with action. Otherwise “no” is just uttered all the way to and over the ledge.
For example, first they had the Stars and Bars taken down from atop the capitol building and moved to a flag pole on the capitol grounds. People said no, but it was moved anyway. Now, it has to be removed from the grounds entirely. There are people saying no, but it will be taken down. Count on it.

Got to be payoffs as the Senate narrowly defeated, 23 - 20 as I remember, to have it go to a state vote, but the house being more conservative should have easily passed it. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
DeleteYou are correct about the naming, but it no longer matters. Enough people call it the "Stars and Bars" to legitimize it. Trying to make it go back to the right way is like trying ot make ebonics go away and be replaced by proper English grammar and pronunciation. Or like my own attempts to get people to stop calling everything "terrorism".
