I don’t have a problem with the Confederrate Battle Flag.
I have one and the Stars and Bars.

But since I respect it, and it is NOT a racist flag, I don’t like to see racists abusing it. It only gives radicals ammo to attack it.

I agree. And I wish certain people and groups wouldn't use it, but it is their 1A right.

Let's face a fact; the Confederate Battle Flag is one of the few remaining politically correct targets for attack. The white male is another, especially if he's a Southern 'redneck'.

And it's not just the radicals, either. The Flag and white Southern male are mainstream attack fodder. The MSM media pundits can make baseless accusations, especially the dreaded R word, without fear of reprisal.
