Would you call placing a confederate flag in a cabinet housing an
historical display about a confederate soldier that has a tie to
Latah County in the Latah County Courthouse indefensible?<br>
<br>
Because I wouldn't.<br>
<br>
Also, the one-dimensional liberal / conservative axis is failing
us here. We need more nuance in American politics than that.<br>

<div>I think it is best to avoid defending the indefensible,
anything to do with slavery in particular. There are A LOT of
better uses for your words and your motivations will always be
questioned -- no matter how many times you call yourself a
liberal.<br>

You have to walk on eggshells around here, lest your honest
opinion be mistaken as an attack on all things liberal.
Which is ironic because I consider myself to be a liberal
(at least on some issues). And I hate walking on eggshells.<br>

At the risk of sending everyone into an apoplectic
rage by suggesting that they may be over-reacting,
exactly what is the purpose of that display? Is it,
perhaps, to display information on a historical time,
event, or person connected to the Civil War? If so,
then having a confederate flag in the display might
make sense. Also, trying to imply that the US and
State flags are unimportant because they placed a
table in front of them with a box on it seems a bit of
a stretch.<br>
