I'll honor any person of the South, defending the South and Southern traditions. The Confederate flag, to me, as a Southerner born and bred, is a symbol of the wealthy elite class of that time taking this nation into civil war merely to protect their ownership of other human beings, and that is not something I can honor. But times change, and for some people the meanings of symbols also change, to something more benign. That may have happened to the Confederate flag, becoming a defiant Southern rejection of the liberals' determination to destroy ALL American symbols.

I agree with but I would recommend raising shields ASAP...
