I am not saying that anyone flying the flag is racist. Personally, I’ll side with that until I know otherwise because only an idiot would not realize the flag has been co-opted. And don’t equate people not wanting that flag flown, wanting it in a museum, as somehow not being conservative. I’m quite conservative and so are most of the people I know. I didn’t not but briefly grow up in the south. I associate the flag with racism, KKK, killing Americans and all that. That doesn’t make me less conservative, just that I have a different view. Again, look at the common usage of that flag over the past 100 years. I will not mince words on this. It has not business being flown than does a Nazi flag. You wouldn’t suggest descendants of Nazis or people from Germany fly that flag, would you? Someone shows up at work with Nazi or Confederate flag, I’d fire them.

You would make such an equivalency between the nazis and the confederacy? You’re nuts.

Remind me again, when did the Confederacy attempt to exterminate entire ethnic or religious groups? While you're at it, maybe you can provide a list of sovereign nations the Confederacy invaded, looted and turned into puppet regimes. When you can do that, we can start taking the comparison of the Confederacy and Nazi Germany seriously. Otherwise, it just sounds like the sort of propaganda we get from BlackLivesMatter activists.

The philosophy of the Confederacy was pretty close to the exact opposite to that of the German National Socialists. The Nazis were a party of the extreme Left--of a strictly conformist Extreme Left. See Lies of Socialism.

They are only mistaken for being on the Right because of massive Leftist propaganda designed to sell that narrative. As we demonstrate in the Chapter, supra, all the clear indicators point in the same direction.
