A Marine should have the right to show some Southern pride. Any Southerner, indeed, should. Just because the left encourages this kind of preciousness around the Confederate battle flag, doesn’t mean we have to go along with them, any more than we have to start calling illegal aliens ‘undocumented migrants’.
And this is coming from someone with no Southern ancestry. I’m the direct descendant of a Union soldier who put his life on his line against the CSA.
I do. My flag is the Texas state flag. I'm not back home yet, but I will be. Still, I fly it where I am with Pride and thankfulness to my Lord and Savior!
The Southern states comprise the homes of Christian Conservatives now; of course we have a lot to be proud of!
But we must stand for what is right and the Biblical foundation this country was founded on - and rid its evils. And the Confederate flag is stained with the evil of slavery, it was birthed that way and cannot get away from its founding. It is a stumbling block for anyone who flys it.
