    If it's a political ruse

    then the most intellegent thing to do would be to ignore it. Salon instead chooses to make it an issue leading to readers calling the 2/3 of americans who are against it rednecks. Wow. Brilliant. You see an obvious wedge issue and you just go and take a whack at it?

    Insulting 2/3 of Americans is not a good idea. It was a non-issue until you encouraged people to talk about. Now not only do liberals think we should sing the national anthem in spanish but they also think anyone who disagrees is a "stupid redneck." Smooth.
