Southerners do not think the War is over. Suspended temporarily, perhaps. We will always resist other people trying to tell us what to do and how to live - as the “northern elites” are doing right now trying to shove Obamacare down our throats. The Battle Flag, or any other Confederate Flag (I fly the Bonnie Blue, but I’d fly the Zavala if I had it) is a symbol of the fight for freedom and for States Rights against the tyranny of the FedGov. We do know what we are doing, in spite of others trying to tell us what to do “for our own good.”

Mmm-hmmm. I understand what you say. But as much as it is a symbol of the rights of states to you & me ... to most people it's just a symbol of human slavery and degradation. That is a huge canyon to get across. You'll have a strong fight on your hands in most areas before you can convince people that that flag is about liberty when they have spent their entire life thinking it is about slavery.
