No, it stands for Liberty and Freedom.
It will never offend me except when the dumb rednecks use it as a symbol of hate. That is what offends me, when men who could never stand the barrage of bullets and shells at Seminary Ridge, yet wave it as if they claim the moral rights to use it for political purposes.
Stars and Bars, long may it wave.
They have their ‘X’, I have mine.
Of course not, it stands for our Southern heritage and states’ rights- I don’t agree with what they supported, slavery is wrong, but as sovereign states they were allowed to leave the Union- just like I think my State of Florida should, if our RINO governor Charlie Crist had more balls
Which one?
No.
No ! Just a marker to show the battle lines .
Amen
Wales and Scotland.
Never has, never will.
IBSW!
The confederate battle flag is part of our history. It was bastardized by the klan and the dimrats and all other non thinking people equate that flag with the klan. The only flag that offends me is the obama/pepsi thing.
Wales and Scotland don’t have their own battle colors - they share the same monarch and so, by extension, the same battle standards. They do have national flags - these are not the same thing as a battle standard.
The only flag that offends me is the obama/pepsi thing.
Amen, brother...
LOL!
No I think it is a part of our history and should be honored.....
The only thing that would be offensive to me is who would carry it, like the KKK....in that case the flag is not offensive but the evil carrying it is.....I think that is the confusion, people need to look beyond the flag and look at who is displaying it and their intent......
“I’ll make it an explicit question. Can anybody else think of a conquored state that has been permitted the privilege of flying its battle standard after the conquest and surrender?”
Mexico. All it’s illegal aliens waving their flags EVERY DAY in this country.
Why should anyone be offended by the symbol of a freedom-loving people? Anyone, that is, who has the capacity to think and not just regurgitate the distortions in the government-run schools.
It should be celebrated and revered, Who knows, it may fly in battle once again.
Deo vindice
Only if it accompanies a sheet-wearing cross burning moron.
No, but the red hammer and sickle flag does. So does the ubiquitious image of Che Guevara - the Cuban version of Heinrich Himmler.
