I agree that the caving is a problem....on any issue. Great article posted on FR today by Daniel Greenfield equating this caving to the “have you stopped beating your wife” question. He is spot on there. This rush to get out and “be reasonable” is so unseemly and ends up hurting.
My only ambivalence is on the flag issue itself.
Jeb the Bushwoman was out boasting about how he handled the issue in Florida—and I so wanted someone to say, “So, did you replace the battle flag with a Mexicn flag?”
