Why are they putting Confederate Battle Flags on the tombstones? The proper flag would be the official flag of the CSA - which is not the "Rebel Battle Flag"

You might be interested in knowing that someone attempted to burn Beauvoir, last home of Jefferson Davis, on the beach at Biloxi, MS. The story is in today's sunherald.com on the web. I'm thinking that they probably wanted the destruction to occur around Confederate Memorial Day as an anti-tribute.
Fortunately, a young firefighter was passing and put the fire out.

Good post. I'm still pondering on that liberal lurker trying to equate the War in Iraq with this one a few days ago. Guess you have to be halfway around the bend with self-loathing and undeserved guilt...

Confederate soldiers did not die for slavery, Cowman said, nor did the North start the war to free an oppressed people. Confederates fought and died to be free to act on their own volition, he said.BUMP. Deo vindice!
