Some people either refuse or just don’t get the understanding that the Confederate States of America was a nation and that pride comes from having ancestors who died in the War of Aggression. That flag belonged to an age and a people who flew it PROUDLY...and some of us still find pride in the knowledge it flew over our nation. True, we have been conquered by the forces of the United States of America and are no longer a sovereign nation but that does not change history. We were once a country...just like Ireland...and we still resent insulting our heritage and our symbols....just like the Irish feel toward England. I am proud of Barbour for not bowing his head to another example of political correctness.
Good for you and I could not agree with you more. To hell with the pc feaks.
