Critic: Banish 'Gone With the Wind' to A Museum Like Confederate Flag
The New York Post's Lou Lumenick likened Gone with the Wind to the Confederate flag in a Wednesday item: "If the Confederate flag is finally going to be consigned to museums as an ugly symbol of racism, what about the beloved film offering the most iconic glimpse of that flag in American culture?"

Vox's Kliff Biting Fingernails Awaiting SCOTUS ObamaCare Ruling
Anxious much, Sarah?
Sarah Kliff of Vox.com sounds like she needs to take a page out of the playbook of South Park's Eric Cartman who couldn't wait the three weeks for the Wii video game console to be released so he had himself frozen to spare himself the waiting time from his POV.

NYT Promotes Study Labeling Charleston Shooting ‘Right-Wing’ Terrorism

Rebel Flag Gone from Stores, But Nazi, Soviet Paraphernalia Remain
While the left and its media water carriers celebrate the purging of the Confederate battle flag from the public and private spheres, they’re hyping the decision of retailers to pull Confederate-themed merchandise.

Networks Ignore SCOTUS Ruling Against Government Raisin Robbery
The U.S. Supreme Court struck down a New Deal-era farm program on June 22, saying it was unconstitutional for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to force raisin farmers to give the government their crops without payment.
