confederate flag
 

so far the only people either explicitly or implicitly defending you said the Confederate flag on my facebook feed have been Mormons.

Priesthood ban has coattails. Congratulations.

But let's get back to defending marriage... No issue here to worthy about.

Well, I also heard Ann Coulter defending it last night on TV. Thank goodness she is not LDS.

I watched this interview. Coulter came off looking ridiculous to any reasonable person. She's also just a mean, nasty person. I really enjoyed seeing Lisa Kennedy, the libertarian leaning host, beat the royal crap out of her ridiculous immigration arguments when they debate that at the end of this clip. I'm sick of these "conservative" idiots with a pen or a microphone who don't understand the basic of laws of economics.

I think Ann Coulter is good at one thing, and that is she's able to entrap reporters and anchors attempting to entrap her. Otherwise she's just an attention whore.

Anti-immigrationists suck. I could be paying $25 for dry cleaning; I pay $1.95.

You can't argue against comparative advantage.

Medical and education costs, I think, more than makeup for the difference. Taking in the least educated people in the world is never going to be an economic win.

South Carolina's house just voted to take the flag down.

I find it amusing that whatever confederate flag apologists remain like to complain about how racists have hijacked their beloved symbol. The problem is that the people who originally created and used the flag were racists who fought a war over the right to enslave people. It's the white supremacist nutjobs who are exactly right about what that flag originally stood for.

Not only that the flag came back into prominence during the civil rights movement.

I don't think so.

If an immigrant saves a taxpayer $23 an hour on dry cleaning, every year that's $23*40*52= $47,840.

Unless an immigrant costs taxpayers more than $50,000 a year, they save us money.

And the most biased anti-immigration research groups say that figure is actually $10,000.
