It isn’t the Confederate flag. The original Confederate national flag was the “stars and bars.” What Adkins was displaying was the Confederate battle flag, the banner under which men as brave and noble as their union brothers fought. The Confederate battle flag was incorporated in 1863 as the union part of the Confederate national flag. So, I’d say go ahead and protest as much as you want about the Confederate national flag; leave the battle flag alone.

I fly the “ bonnie blue flag “ most ppeople don’t understand what it represents, where it came from or how it has been incorporated into other flags.

Those that know it’s history understand and those that don’t leave me alone.

Correct! Knees are jerking all over FR! Adkins is a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans— bonafide descendant of
a soldier in the CSA. He has every RIGHT to his heritage and expression of it.

Just like La Raza has the right to show Toltec symbols in their idiotic claim that California should belong to them as Aztlan.

Expression is the right. In the case of Goad’s article— these are inconvenient truths—and Lincoln being used by marxist democrats (like the wealthy Spielberg— who has always supported the soviet line of WWII-— it was ALL the Nazis) is simply ridiculous.
