States rights is very relevant unless you are a historical idiot. The Confederate flag is a reminder that the right of secession is inherit and always a valid choice.
And what the hell does any of that have to do with a protest against closing a federal memorial to US WWII veterans?!
Focus on the issue at hand if you want your message heard.
If you want to revisit your right of succession battle yet again, organize your own rally for that effort and stop elbowing your way into other legitimate protests.
Its simply a symbol of righteous defiance in my eyes and defiance is needed now more than ever. Its probably nearly as common to see here in the north as it is in the south (outside of the northeast)
I’ve got a Michigan native neighbor with a Confederate battle flag mural on the side of his barn that’s probably 15 feet tall. It shows a somewhat tattered but still standing flag waving in the breeze.
got my flying and on my truck.
Wasn;t the confederate flag which flew on slave ships, or was it on any Govt building during the war, it was to distinguish the southern side during battle as lines always got confused.
That is why there was a first, second and third .
If they think it is racist then it shows how ignorant and dumb they really are.
Absolutely that is how we Southerners view it!! Racism doesn’t enter into the pic. We have Confederate flags all over the place around here and it is viewed as standing for independence and a “Get lost” message to the Feds. Needed now more than ever, I’d think.
