When you said,
"The Confederacy legally and peacefully seceded "
Do you call firing on Fort Sumter peaceful? LOL!
The war has been over for a long time, and the C.S.A. lost. Robert E Lee surrendered. Get over it!
When you said,
"You are suggesting that the use of the flag by the KKK somehow taints it"
Answer; Yes it does.....
Oh and when you said,
"Well by that logic, why does the opposition to the flag by the PCers not taint opposition to the flag.
The current flag is a historical flag too, but it does not carry the baggage of the battle flag. You need to study why the Confederate Battle flag was put on the State flag in 1956. Then you will understand why it has been removed.

No one was injured when Fort Sumter was fired on. But it was fired on because the feds refused to leave a fort that no longer belonged to them. Lincoln left other federal forts. He refused to vacate Fort Sumter expressly for the purpose of forcing the Confederacy to fire the 1st shot. War was not supported in the North and Lincoln needed PR to whip up war fever.
While you might be able to "get over" a grave injustice, I am not. I guess you would tell the Scots to get over that William Wallace fellow.
The '56 flag is the real flag because it is the real flag in the heart of real Georgians. Like I said before, it should be supported precisely because the enemy opposes it.
I am aware of the history of the '56 flag. You are aware of dogma that you have been brainwashed by the enemy to believe. And you are reacting like the perfect self loathing Southerner they are trying to create. I do not believe in segregated public schools. I don't believe in any public schools. But Brown was wrongly Constitutionally decided. It was a decision based on bad sociology instead of Constitutional law and it was ground zero in the activist judicial decisions that are destroying this country. Without Brown there would be no Roe. Those who fought that decision, even if sometimes wrongly motivated, should be respected for their prescience.

Actually most of the South had seceded before Fort Sumter had been fired on.

This look just like one I had designed when the old one was replaced.
and mimics a Confederate Flag the Klan has never used.
Wanna melt a liberal?
Remind them that the Klan was created to keep republicans out of the south and Southern State Governments.
