The Confederate flag is viewed today as a symbol of rebellion against the dictatorship of Washington,D.C. elitists ,which is why many people display it and why the big government types hate it. The idea of telling the central government to “leave us alone” is very appealing to most self-reliant people. Those people who have become accustomed to the federal handouts and promotions based on race rather than ability LOVE the big daddy in Washington..

We can damn well do the same.
