Well! Now that Nikki Haley and her fellow Republicans are caving left and right on the Confederate flag (which gives us HUGE Cheshire cat smiles), a new item has vaulted to the top of our to-do list: Get Terry McAuliffe to put the kibosh on Virginia's CSA specialty plates.
(Not that we see a lot of them around here. Our theory is that they've been supplanted by Virginia's Gadsden flag plates, which came on line in 2012 or so. Those, we see a lot of. Funny how cars with those plates always seem to have a fat white guy behind the wheel.)
But we digress — which we don't mean to do, because as soon as we could, we raced to the paranoid teabaggy corner of the Internet known as Free Republic to see what they were saying about Governor Haley's 180-degree spin on the battle flag of the Old South. Funfunfun, because boy, are they mad! We cats will step back now and let the Freepers do the rest:
"Nikki, you are dead to me. RINO."
"She apparently likes to sleep around."
"I hope she took a shower after hugging Clyburn."
"All white men must die. That’s the goal."
"This may the worst week for Western civilization in a while. We may see both the criminalization of the Confederate flag and Christianity this week."
"Governor Nimrata Randhawa... the adulteress slut."
"Women in leadership. Hmmmm..."
"She sure ain’t no southern belle."
"The time has come for Nikki H. to be voted out of office. She has no roots to South Carolina and obviously respect for or interest in our history."
"Half the people who vehemently oppose the display of the Confederate flag(s) don’t even know who their daddy was was [sic], much less who the [sic] great grandfathers [sic] or great grandfathers [sic] were or what they did or what they fought for. Those of us who know should, and will, remember."
(Meow! Why do we think this last little Freeper was already deep into the moonshine when he posted? We cats PURR.)
