Wouldn’t it be a hoot if several masked men showed up and gave him a whooping, “In the name of unity”?

How about someone hold him down and paint him white in the name of unity?

"... I would think that no one in our community would have a problem with this or with my actions at all.”Well, you think wrong then. The only thing I have from my Great Grand Father that fought in the War Between the States is his picture. I am going to visit his grave tomorrow for my families annual decoration day, which has been held on the third Sunday in May for at least the past 100 years. The Confederacy started and stopped with his generation.
In Georgia, all of our Confederate cemeteries fly the Stars and Bars from a pole at the entrance gates. If a person cannot respect a veteran's grave he has no business trespassing in the cemetery in the first place.

There are CSA Vets buried in National Cemeteries. Does this self anointed one Enforcer Of Political Correctness want to remove their grave markers as well?

IT’s too bad that some people can’t understand that the past is the past.

I don't agree with this mans actions. It's trespassing, theft and desecration of a grave. That said, what flag matters to you? The Stars And Stripes or The Stars And Bars?

I’ve never thought of the Confederacy in the wrong, with regards to states rights. As recent as pre-obama, the relatives of those deceased never would have dreamed that those graves would be robbed of their flags.
But if the left has their way, us veterans reading this right now will likely have their US stars and stripes removed from their graves in 50 years or less by some left wing jerk trying to promote unity. This country’s new flag will likely be a cross between a Mexican flag and a peace symbol with a donkey thrown in somehow.

Well, heck-sakes! I have a problem with it, and I am in California and my forebears fought for the Union. So?? Leave the graves alone, buddy!!

“I would think that no one in our community would have a problem with this or with my actions at all.”
Except that it is a grave and you had no authority to desecrate it with your half-assed attempt to erase history instead of teaching it to your 4 year old son.

“That said, what flag matters to you? The Stars And Stripes or The Stars And Bars? “
My answer: Both. Good men died under both flags.

People of his ilk invite the worst kind of change - like islam - where they cut the hands off of thieves and grave molesters like him. For a first offense I’d recommend community service. Say 180 days of planting and maintaining all of the CBT flags in the cemetery ;’)
