My family is from New Orleans and I am well aware of what the Union did to the South during the WONA. However, I understand that the war ended 136 years ago and that the South lost. I also understand that it is our human heritage to accept views of those who conquer our nation. Therefore, Germans do not fly the Nazi Flag, the Japanese do not fly the Imperial Japanese Flag, and the nice people of English heritage in the New England states do not fly the Union Jack. They all lost their Wars and the Stars and Bars is a symbol of the ignorance and intolerance of the South.

the Japanese do not fly the Imperial Japanese Flag

The famous "sunburst" flag of the Japanese Empire is now the naval ensign of Japan and flies over all of their warships. I have seen if flying over Japanese ships making a port visit in Pearl Harbor HI.

---a symbol of the ignorance and intolerance---

IF Half of the people who reside in the US donot pay Federal income taxes .
And, Half of the people who pay income taxes donot vote .
AND, the Half of the voters who donot pay taxes are taking the money the taxpayers earned at the ballot box .
THEN, You are probably right about the ignorance ,but you might need to attribute intolerance and arrogance to the voters who don't pay taxes .

IMHO.

You're an idiot. The Japanese are flying the same flag.

And what is your ignorance and intolerance a symbol of? The cult of the rude?
