Okay, I understand what you are saying. I think when we say these sort of things, we are falling right into that PC trap. Part of the problem is that because a FEW people use the Confederate Flag as a racist symbol, then it must be racist. In any event, it is part of American History. Period. How a person or a group of persons interpret its meaning, then try to force all of us to think like them -- is ridiculous.

We will continue to bend over backwards for the PC police until someday we decide to stand up.

I understand.. I know that is a touchy subject around here.. I look at it this way.. if you saw a guy with the flag below on his car, your first thought would be 'commie bastard' (I know mine would).. not, gee, I wonder if he is a Russian ex-pat who is remembering the country he grew up in and it's great space program.
