Many politicians are cowards, yellow bellied scum of the earth, caving on the flag just like they caved on the Schiavo case. My ancestor(s) took a stand and fought to the death for it, as did many of the framers/founders. Lord I wish a politician these days had their fortitude.
We're good enough for them when they send out solicitations, as they prostitute themselves for contributions and votes, but we're simply second class citizens when it comes to standing up for us.
All we want is to be allowed to honour our dead, either by flying a flag over their graves, or by honouring our valiant men in grey with a flag on a license plate, reminding others of their sacrifices.
We will never forget.
I remember when Jeb took the Confederate flag down from the capitol, there was an outcry but it quickly died. I'm very glad Jeb didn't kowtow to the "git-r-done" crowd.
