And Hitler stole the Swastika, and only white supremacist neo-nazis display it now.

Apples and oranges

The battle flag wasn't a political flag. It was a flag for the soldiers. It had nothing to do with the causes, purposes, goals, or objectives involved with the American Civil War. It was "stolen" after the war. It's purpose should be for historical instruction and to honor those men that fought under the flag. It is disrespectful to use the flag as a beach towel, concert backdrop, political symbol, racist tool, etc. etc.

The First, Second, or Third National flags were political flags as was the Bonnie Blue Flag. These flags can be legitimately connected to the political aspects of the American Civil War and better represent efforts to preserve slavery and secession.

Yet the "battle flag" is the prominent symbol in the second and third national flags. My point is simple, Hitler took the Swastika and forever changed they way that symbol is viewed..I dont think any thoughtful person would display a swastika hoping that people would view it for its pre-nazi meaning. This is what is happening to the Confederate Flag, the KKK has used to forever, and they and others are doing the very same thing...changing the meaning of the symbol, to the point where it will be viewed in the south the way it is viewed in the north.

Every poll I have seen suggests that the majority of folks that display the flag to so in the name of southern pride, however there is that strong and vocal minority that display it signify their hatred and bigotry. Living my entire life in the north I expect those that display it here are predominantly the latter.

So Bob.....any flag or symbol that is co-opted by a hate group should be banned?

















You best get to work Mr Yankee SJW.

You clearly have not read my posts....or just can not comprehend them.

Bobl, everyone has a opinion, that's fine. But it shows your ignorance. Stay up north do everyone here a favor.

Everyone else seems to have changed their mind about the flag. Why haven't you?

I haven't. Squeaky wheel gets the media coverage. You have no idea how many regular joes out here don't give a damn for your political correctness.

I understand. I'm just wondering why some people don't evolve.

Well, right wingers tend to not believe in Evolution.

Exactly. Conservatives by definition favor tradition over progress. What a shame.

Liberals confuse evolving with devolving. Progress with degenerating.

Good one

WTF, They wanted the flags removed but to where. Some smart person decided to let those folks wanting Them removed to choose what to do with Them. Whats the problem here ?
