I think that may be the real crux of the issue.

Small or subtle, "we remember" type product positioning would probably not draw objectin this day and age. For example at grave sites or historic battlefields.

The "sons of the confederacy" need to wake up and smell the coffee that the stars and bars has been used by more than a few dispicable groups and people.

If they were serious, they would work double hard to convert the flag from a percieed symbol of hate, and from a symbol of a movement that sought to divide the USA into one which was representative of GOOD United States citizens in the here and now.

They have not learned the lessons of the then and there.

and now back to work...

I'm not aware of any such group using the Stars and Bars, a flag that most folks wouldn't recognize anyway. See: Stars and Bars

The Confederate Battle Flag was misused but not the Stars and Bars that I'm aware of.

You've already been corrected about the "Stars & Bars". How about the "Stars & Stripes"? It also has been used by more than a few despicable groups.

So has the Cross. Guess we'd better take that off all the churches in town too.
