The bureaucrats in Washington are not making you personally drop the rebel flag or cease honoring your rebel ancestors. You are free to continue doing so if that’s your choice. They are saying that the government itself should not be publicly honoring those who waged war against it. What is so hard to understand about that?

One of the things that made me proud to be American was that our government was big enough and confident enough to honor Americans who fought against it in the 1860s. This petty destruction makes us smaller and vindictive 150 years later. Plus it is doing the Dhimmos a service by hiding their part in the war.
Should we raise statues to Axis Sally, Benedict Arnold, Tokyo Rose, and the American citizens who fought for Germany in World War II?
But again, I don't care what states do. And if the federal government decides to change their opinion of those who fought against us in the Southern rebellion then I don't have a problem with that either.
