As a northerner whose great-great grandfather fought on the union side (and was maimed, but survived), I am not ashamed of the Confederate flag. Nor do I harbor any ill will towards it.

I have also paid my respects to the Confederate soldiers interred at Johnson's Island, Ohio.

But I see the Confederate flag as an historical symbol only, with little value otherwise in today's America. A lot of multi-cultural garbage is being forced on us today. Whether by design or not, this country is being forced into different camps. Not a good thing at all.

Flying the Confederate flag today does nothing to help ease that problem. Personally, I thing flying the Gadsden flag makes a more positive statement.

But don't get me wrong. Things like those multi-language signs in stores are much worse than flying the Confederate flag.

Don't you find it tiresome to straddle the yellow line?

Seriously, you are for it, or you aren't. If you aren't for it, then you are against it. If you are against it, the just be quiet. Seriously.
