Take comfort from your misguided assumptions but the recent hysteria against the Confederate battle flag will fade soon enough but it will continue to be revived by those who despise tyranny.

During campaigns against a state personal income tax on wages and salaries being imposed in Connecticut, we turned instinctively to the coiled rattlesnake flag against a bright yellow background and the legend Don't Tread on Me! which had been a battle flag of our colonial era Revolutionary War predecessors. The leftists hate that flag too.

Likewise, whenever tyranny is threatened, the Confederate Battle Flag will be brought out for renewed service.

On July 4, 1915, just 100 years ago this past weekend, the Confederate Veterans of America CVA and the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) held their very first joint national encampment and held it at Gettysburg. The old men of both armies re-enacted Pickett's disastrous charge (without live ammo). The Union vets broke from the tradition of the actual battle and ran down the hill to meet the reb vets. When they came together, they embraced one another in tears. They are all our honored national ancestors, representing the 600,000 dead and the incredible number who had been wounded. They understood that as you apparently do not.

If you don't understand that, you are beyond help and you exemplify what is ugly in the current administration of race baiters in Washington who are trying to stampede Americans out of every worthwhile aspect of their heritage.

Our government schools dominated by the ultra-leftist National Misedumakashun Association may favor your revisionist mythology but actual conservatives will not and we will keep our heritage alive by properly educating our children.
