His Confederate Romanticism, it just doesn’t pass the logic test for me.

Unfortunately, not officially. Privately, I think they should be breaking rocks in Kansas.

We should parrot Germany and forbid representations of the confederate flag, similar to their law forbidding Nazi stuff. Only in museums...
