I don't fly the union flag because no one in my family fought for the Army of the 'Republic'. But I don't fly the Battle Flag either. There are only two flags in front of my house. North Carolina's 1861 flag and the First National. If you want to fly the union flag that's your choice. If you want to say a pledge to a piece of cloth that's your choice too. I have no problem with you flying the flag of your choice. And you shouldn't ask those in our Southern Capitol to rescind their heritage either.

Many great men, much better than many of those that sit there today, occupied those halls once. And if remembering them is found within a flag of heritage, the PC police should get over it. There's already a new statue of a most worthless individual in Richmond. Isn't that enough?

Are you talking about the flag of United States? Didn't you have other relatives who fought for our country? Does a father or uncle or grandfather who fought againt Hitler or Tojo mean nothing to you?

Lee? Davis? Stuart? A.P. Hill? Arthur Ashe? Bojangles? Must be Davis. I'd have to agree. It's not just enough, it's too much.
