An eight-mile convoy of pickups, motorcycles and cars wound through a central Florida town on Sunday in a show of support for the Confederate flag, as a backlash against its banishment from public landmarks across the South picks up steam.
Horns blared and hundreds of the rebel flags fluttered as more than 1,500 vehicles and some 4,500 people turned out for the "Florida Southern Pride Ride" in Ocala, according to police estimates. Vehicles from states across the South and as far away as California participated.
"That flag has a lot of different meanings to a lot of different people," said David Stone, 38, who organized the event. "It doesn't symbolize hate unless you think it's hate - and that's your problem, not mine.”

The South Will Rise Again. Too many years since the war of Northern Aggression.
BTTT
Better buy me some extra CBF’s. I am afraid they are going to sell out.
They will reap what they’ve sown.
In a year the Rebel flag may be down in Statehouses but I along with other people I know want to fly the Rebel flag for the sole reason that other people want to compel everyone to follow their pathetic ‘consciences’. I’ve read where a lot of people want to fly the Rebel flag as well. Hopefully, it will be in all the tolerant liberals’ faces.
If it is more tyranny you are talking about, I agree with you.
Proud southerners have been relatively silent about this left wing raping of our heritage. Last week was the tipping point. And millions of us are now pissed beyond comparison.
As long as its on private property they can fly the flag which defended the right to own slaves....see the confederate constitution.
Will the GOP get All the blame for removing it ,LOL
Still confederate bashing like the rest of your liberal friends huh?
check out the photo gallery; awesome amount of people!
They have only gotten to first base.
That description also fits the American flag. See the American Constitution.

you want to honor the Confederacy. Read the Confederate Constitution. Article 1 Section 9 Clause 4.
Did the US Constitution have its own Article 1 Section 9 Clause 4...nope.
