Does the Confederate Flag offend you? http://www.sodahead.com/question/537677/does-the-confederate-flag-offend-you/ I came across this question asked at SodaHead.com that has produced a lively discussion with over 2500 comments. I thought I would post it here at Free Republic and see if it gets a similiar response.

In before the Yankee apologists.

BTW, that's just what we need around here, another heated War Between The States thread.

A flag supporting states rights does not offend me in the least.

Borned and raised in NY but no the Confederate flag does not offend me. The flag is part of our history. Men who fought for honorable reason died for that flag.

No. Any confederate flag like the CSA, US under the articles of confederation, or the EU is not offensive to me.

I have a confederate flag hat (several) and I proudly where it just to tick the racists off. I am so ticked at the way things are going that I wore it the other day to an Office Max store in a certain area of town to have my Joker Obama color copies printed out.

So are you talking about the Confederate Battle Flag or the Flag of the Confederate States of America?

BTW flag@whitehouse.gov bothers me.

*grin* Only in America would conquored states be permitted the privilege of flying their battle standard after the conquest.

Question: "Does the Confederate Flag offend you?"

Response: No.

Comment: It is a very important part of American history and for that reason must be suppressed by the conquering outcasts.
