Hmmmmm.....the mayor at first backed the black lawyer who removed the flags, claiming that the SCV was an "outside organization" and that their flags had been "illegally placed" at the cemetery

It's a wonder how some daylight tends to change PC minds quick.

Wow, what a crock! I've volunteered to do clean-up of a local veteran's civil-war era cemetery and I'm not affiliated with any group. I think you're right about the daylight.

“The citizen-soldiers who fought for the Confederacy personified the best qualities of America. The preservation of liberty and freedom was the motivating factor in the South’s decision to fight the Second American Revolution. The tenacity with which Confederate soldiers fought underscored their belief in the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. These attributes are the underpinning of our democratic society and represent the foundation on which this nation was built.

Today, the Sons of Confederate Veterans is preserving the history and legacy of these heroes so that future generations can understand the motives that animated the Southern Cause.”

You’re kidding right? They fought so they could own human beings like cattle. Heroes? K.
