Rainbow slough you are full of it. You have NO IDEA what the people who fly any flag of the Confederacy mean by it. I myself prefer the Bonnie Blue Flag as it stands for the band of brothers, of whom there were hundreds of thousands. They did not fight for slavery, as many ignorant people such as yourself believe. They fought for liberty, and states rights against the invading tyrrants from the north. By and large, owning slaves was the privilege of the well-to-do. The rank and file of the Southern armies was composed of farmers and laborers who volunteered to protect home and everything dear from northern invaders, to keep their traditions and be left alone. To preserve those traditions, they paid a severe price: Confederate soldiers suffered up to 12 percent killed versus 5 percent of the Union Army. Killed in action totalled 74,542 plus another 59,297 dead from disease (this figure is generally considered underestimated). Of the 214,000 Confederates imprisoned in the North, 26,000 (12 percent) died.
That friend is who I fly my flag for!!
Your deep southern roots are obviously not near deep enough to know what any of the Confederate flags are for!!
I will admit that some who do fly the battle flag do so for devious reasons, and that makes them just as ignorant as those (in your words) who fear and abhor it because they do not know the true meaning and value either.
The next time you want to pick on someone that is low brow and low bred you might want to do a little research so you don't look so ignorant. Just because I love my Southern Heritage does not mean I'm stupid.
By the way
Kiss my Grits!!!!
