I suggest you get a real history book and stop listening to the propaganda spewed by the NAACP. Those who fly the standard of the Confederate army are often those who fly the Stars and Stripes the highest.

Many might suggest that those who want to fly the stars and bars to get a real history book and fly the last flag authorized by the Confederacy. The one with the White background, the stars and bars in the corner and the blue vertical strip on the right side, but I doubt if there is too many interested in historical accuracy

Who said anything about historical accuracy. It's about Freedom.

You refer to what has become know as the Third National Flag, which is the one I fly. The battle standard was essentially unchanged during the course of the Unpleasantness, although there were any number of themes-and-variations used by respective units, i.e. The square version of the Army of Viginia, the rectangular version of the Army of Tennessee, and the 12-star flag carried by Bedford Forrest's command.

If you are feeling particularly mischevious, run a Bonnie Blue up your flagpole and let the naysayers wonder what it it.
