Jeb! Gets It Wrong Again

By Zamboni

Maybe if Jeb! Bush is lucky, Santa will bring him some brains for Christmas.

Mr. "Low Energy" has been trying — we guess — to suck up to the racists and haters who are flocking to Donald Trump's campaign, claiming that "the problem with the Confederate flag isn’t the Confederacy. The problem with the Confederate flag is what it began to represent later."

Um, no. Sorry, Jeb!, but there's a real problem with the Confederacy. Itself.

We cats are mystified as to why Trump supporters (and the lamebrains named Bush who covet them) think — as Jeb! also averred — that "the Confederacy is part of our heritage" and "should be respected." Nope. Isn't it incredible that Republican super-patriots believe that a rebellion against the United States, based on keeping an entire race of people enslaved, and which ended up killing 600,000 Americans, is something that should be cherished and honored? Not in our book!

That sentiment — on top of the other revoltingly Trumpian beliefs that Harold Meyerson has so eloquently pointed out — means the GOP and its clown-car candidates are the anti-Christmas Scrooges of the year. And with no visiting ghosts of past, present or future to straighten them out, either. We cats HISS.
