My childhood impression held that the Confederate Flag stood for Lynyrd Skynyrd just as Southerners stood in unison for “Freebird” as their “Star-Spangled Banner.” They raised cigarette lighters in reverence to their anthem; Northerners placed hands on heart. They say Palmetto bug. We say cockroach.The propensity of Massachusettsans to glean anthropological understanding of the people on the map they look down upon by watching Deliverance and Mississippi Burning, rather than traveling below the Mason-Dixon Line, surely leads to some misunderstandings. But the reward of firsthand knowledge just isn’t worth the risk of forced sodomy on a canoeing trip or Klansmen stuffing one’s corpse in an earthen dam. Read my column @ the American Spectator on why not everybody who loves the Confederate Flag hates the NBA, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Tyler Perry movies.

Transformers, as the Decepticons know too well, fight as a potent military force. But transsexuals? The New York Times, in the wake of Bruce becoming Caitlyn, urges the U.S. military to welcome transgenders. Read my column @ the American Spectator on why unleashing an army of transsexual warriors upon our unsuspecting Muhammadan enemies may be just what it takes to win the war on terrorism.

There’s something fundamentally conservative in libertarian Rand Paul telling Republicans to think about how things might get worse instead of better when dreaming about toppling another Middle Eastern government. When I interviewed the Students for a Democratic Society’s first president Al Haber for A Conservative History of the American Left, I asked him in his book-filled living room to define the motivating idea behind the Left: “What is the better world possible?” Rand Paul asks conservatives to consider the worse world possible. Read my column @ the American Spectator on how Marco Rubio and Rand Paul drive the debate in the race for the GOP nomination before the candidates even convene for a formal debate.
 

Reading the Wells Report ranked close to Geraldo opening Al Capone's vault in the history of letdowns. Here's my piece @ Breitbart on the symbolism of Brady speaking in Salem. In my piece @ the American Spectator, I write that It’s “more probable than not” that the Indianapolis Colts could not have defeated the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game using a rugby ball, a beach ball, a debutante ball, or a Lucille Ball. Elsewhere @ Breitbart I wonder how Ted Wells could give a maybe guilty verdict when eight of the 11 footballs examined by the referees reached a reading precisely at or above where Wells's scientific consultants said they would sink to in such weather conditions.
