While I am no flaggot, I don't see the Confederate flag as a symbol of racism either. Still, there are a lot of people out there that would like to paint the image that way.

That said, and with all your knowledge and stereotypes of government politics, please take a look at this photo, and try to answer the following question.

Which party is Mike Snow from, and who paid for this advertisement?

1. Democrats
2. Republicans

If you said Republican, you'd be wrong. A Republican running ads like this would yield cries of racism from the left. Mike would be the next Trent Lott, and be asked to resign. No, Mike is a Democrat, so there is no problem if he supports and displays the St. Andrews Cross.

It must be nice for Dems to be able to have their cake and eat it too. Not only do Democrats get more than 90% of the black vote year after year, but they can support issues like the St. Andrews Cross without being branded as a racist.
