Pedro, did you know the succession started over the federal government forcing the South to sell their cotton to northern textile mills at a deflated price? Betcha thought it was about slavery. Yeah, bowing to these asshats is PISSING me off. You can fly a beaner (Mexican) flag anywhere in the country, but MY flag is banned

Scroom, and anyone who looks like them, or even said hello to them
Thanks for the explanation Mike, no I did not know that the flag was a battle flag for the North Virginia army. Appreciate the explanation.

My comment was more on the sense that there are more present things to worry about than what seems to be an outdated battle flag. But I can see how this can offend sensibilities on both sides, especially those who are under the impression it's about slavery.

I agree with the comment about putting it through a vote. If they think it's such a pressing issue, then put it through a vote and see what happens.

Doh, ya think???

It's the same as all the stores and the gov't not saying Merry Christmas anymore as it offends those that aren't Christians. Yet, I/we are discriminated against and our right to say it/hear it are offended.

The time for all this PC crap has got to stop.

I'm not even from the "souf" and I say let it fly baby!!!!

It was indeed fought over States Rights, not slavery.

What a bunch of sh!t, they may as well ban the movie "Gone with the wind", or any books or literature regarding the Civil War. Everyone is so sensitive, the country has been pussified. In my day if someone offended me I just punched them in the face and that was the end of it.
