It seems to me there are mainly three types of people who display the Confederate flag: 1) people from the South who see it as a symbol of regional pride....

As a southerner with more than my own share of regional pride, I may point out that concern about overreaching Federal power is a major constituent of same.

Not that I am a Confederate flag waver. I have never owned one. And what it may or may not signify to people from other regions or cultures is their own business.

This is laughable.

Glad to have put a little mirth in your day.

These days, Southern states are the ones that benefit the most from an overreaching Federal power. With the exceptions of Texas and Florida (barely), every state in the South is a net drain on the Federal budget:
