Mitt Romney said something I actually agree with! Take down that Confederate flag, confound it.
The Confederate Sates of America was a separate country, which declared war of the United States – and were defeated. They had their own President, their own army, their own currency.

If this is the “Southern Heritage” of which they are so proud, how about I hang a swastika from my house?
