No. The last thing we need is for Obama to come after our wedding cakes too.
Although, to be honest, he'll probably ignore the issue until the first mass caking.

Actually, I'm pretty damn curious now...
I'm sure glad we're solving racism once and for all with this flag banning.
Well, we could go the treason route that Sparth mentioned earlier. The Republic of Texas flag isn't flown.
What's the one cultural stigma that differentiates the two? Why would one banner of secession, that is exempt of that stigma and was refused to fly it over governmental facilities after rejoining the union, not use the flag of the period in which it was a separate country and another banner for a region continued to do so when both that state and that region committed treason?
One of the two is not like the other.
I hate to quote myself, but any takers?
Where's the Fox News-swiped rebuttals? (Not directed at you, personally, Rav.)

Lakshmi.Sparthosx said: »Hearing Southern people who believe the Confederate flag represents their culture is like hearing black people who say that Tyler Perry encapsulates their culture. This is just authoritarianism. "My interpretation is correct and all others are invalid."

Quote: The Second Amendment should extend to wedding cakes Mental disorder
Another example; think the definition of marriage is based on a traditional interpretation of an institution in place since before the founding of this country, "oh that's intolerant". Hey the rebel flag has a deep and layered connection to the heritage of the south that extends far beyond racism, "nope it's racist".

I don't recall ever swiping a rebuttal from Fox News, so I wouldn't take that personally. And honestly, I have no clue if there is legal precedence with requiring the correct flag be flown. I only take issue with it being made a big deal upteen years after the fact as an act of fury over something that was only remotely related.

Texas lots of confederate flags there !
By fonewear 2015-06-25 18:25:21
People were killed and it is only fitting that we have a debate over flags not murder !
If you don't like the flag how about you buy one then burn it ! Post it on Facebook. There you did something.

That's the forth and it was only readopted in the 1930s or so.

It's a business decision. Why do you hate the free market?
I hate stupid business decisions. Keep defending that radicalism though, Pleebo.
You should know better than to try to make snarky comments against me, as it never ends well for you. Lol. Yes I've returned for more punishment. Make it hurt!
And now Radicalism goes on the list of words with no meaning.

Don't worry, soon enough everything that anyone enjoys will be banned because it offends someone somewhere.
I personally look forward to this, as my German ancestry renders me incapable of experiencing fun.

And I have a problem with that!
I also have a solution, too! Let's just glass the planet! Turn this bright blue ball into a bright blue marble!
When we're all dead, no one will be able to do anything to offend anyone else, and there wouldn't be anyone to offend anyway!
When we're all radioactive ash, we'll all be equal!
