chalu2, my amazement at your words and the vacuum of comprehension they seem to imply is a never ending source of amusement.

>>I've still never heard a good explanation of the basis for the indignation
I donot know as fact but there was the clear appearance of a quid pro quo system in place for guest stays for money. I find this poor judgement at best and low life no minimal concept of the dignity of the presidency in the worst case. But what would one expect of one who could perpetrate a rape on another or say to the world as President that a daughter of an American was a liar knowing that this was a lie.

>>>>we'd ban those damned Confederate flags, just like the Germans have banned display of the swastika.
chalu2 this would imply that you equate the two flags of representing the same degree of evil. Well this is a consistent belief among those who really believe that the naacp ad about the dragging death is a true statement of the guilt of our President in being a bigot and a racist with no regard for human life.

Tens of thousands of honorable American fought and died defending different concepts of individual liberty in the case of the civil war. The swastika is the symbol of system that only enslaved for the purpose of value extraction extermination and the enslavement of all who were not the selected. In the time of the civil war there were free blacks in the north and the south.

All symbols can be used or interpreted to represent good and evil. The cross the American flag.... The symbol of Adolf Hilter is in a class all it's own from a period that saw the death of tens of millions and the extermination of millions.

In America in past Native American's were exterminated by the government. I don't think that this injustice can be inpuned to the Confederate Flag. So I'd suggest you give a little more thought to comparisons you feel you need to commit to print.

I don't know if you have the ability to differentiate the significance of the above.
