The Rebel flag was hauled down but no minds have been changed.

We’re still out there, Bammie.

Were any citations issued for the crime of “Displaying offensive symbols”?

Scores won’t do it. You’ll need tens of thousands to show your point.

King, NC has a population of about 1,000. I say it was a great turnout. That’s where I live LOL!

“Scores won’t do it. You’ll need tens of thousands to show your point.”

Millions would be even better. But Sodom could have been saved by 10 righteous men.

Furl that banner! furl it sadly! Once ten thousands hailed it gladly. And ten thousands wildly, madly, Swore it should forever wave; Swore that foeman's sword should never Hearts like theirs entwined dissever, Till that flag should float forever O'er their freedom or their grave!

When you see Baltimore, it's hard to accept Appomattox.

Why are there never any of the other southern flags on display?

I know this one is the more famous, but it would be nice to show that people have more depth of love for the entire collection rather than just this one.

I am from a Union state but I always enjoyed the Dukes of Hazards. I’m glad to see some southern people standing by their heritage. Reminds me of my service in WWII and my brother who was killed on Okinawa when we had to defend/explain our heritage because the old folks came from Russia.

Because 90% of the idiots who reflexively scream “CONFEDERATE FLAG IS BAD YOU RACISTS!” would take one look at a First National and think Betsy Ross left off six stars and ten stripes.
