On the subject at hand, the display of the CBF doesn’t bother me as a symbol of historical significance or “Southern heritage”. I do wonder, however, why the loyal Sons of the South let it be continually co-opted and defiled by the racists and neo-gnatzi boobs. Y’all need to have a “come to Jesus” lesson for those boys and girls, every time they use that symbol to push their anti-Americanism (in all senses of the term).

How do you propose that this be stopped?

Without southern blood, WWII would not have been won. The south produced the WWI hero Sgt. York among many others. Southern warriors have been prominate in the US military before and after the Civil War, and I am sure you can find a few pictures of Tanks, aircraft and boats in WWII that have the Southern Battle flag prominately painted on them.

I don't think people have the power in this country to tell others what they can and can't use unless it is copyrighted. I don't like anti-American LaRaza supporters flying the US flag (or the KKK for that matter), but there is not much I can do about it.

What I really object to is people who try to ascribe nefarious motives to others for the simple reason of creating an issue they can be the arbiter of. It's just part of the long march of cultural desconstruction.
