It's become politically incorrect to display the Confederate flag, but there are still plenty of (fill in the blank of former Confederate states) cracker rednecks who will come to fisty cuffs over it!

As I'd made reference to
earlier, myself. Well, some people just don't have the capacity to move on... they want to continue to make their ancestors' mistakes, usually because they don't understand why they were mistakes in the first place.
But that's neither here nor there. Texas wanted to secede because they didn't like the U.S. government bossing them around... to which the other states wisely replied: "Get in line."
But Texas always thought it had more of a right to secede than the rest of the states, thanks to its size and standing... to which the other states wisely replied: "Get back in line!"
