I'm really going to sound like a cynical old fart--which is o.k. because I am a cynical old fart--but the first thought I had when I heard that Gov. Nikki Haley of South Carolina had called for the removal of the Confederate flag from the state capitol grounds today was...this was done entirely to gain herself some republican Vice Presidential nominee consideration.
Why not? A woman would look good on their ticket and they could play the "hey, it only took the deaths of nine African-Americans for us to acknowledge that just maybe the Confederate flag isn't quite the symbol of patriotism we thought it was" card. Live and learn, right?
What a country.
Peace,
