I live in Maryland, in the most liberal county of that highly liberal state. Things might be different if I lived just a few miles away in Virginia, but I'm stuck here for the moment, and I see some of my role here as educating people. Instead of flying the Confederate Naval Jack (the so-called Battleflag), I display the First National, also called the Stars and Bars. To me this is an important symbol of pride in my Southern, Confederate heritage without creating the anger that makes conversation impossible. People of all races often ask me what those decals on my car and that flag hanging from my house mean, and this begins a conversation that often opens their eyes.
I do understand the impulse to display our beloved Naval Jack on license plates and other places, but this is the route I choose to get people feeling less threatened so that maybe in the future they won't react with such hysteria when they see us fully take pride in our rightful Southern heritage.
If you could post a link showing the different confederate flags, I'd really appreciate it.
