A Confederate battle flag adorning a Crestview, Fla., memorial that honors Florida's last Civil War veteran is drawing the ire of the NAACP, which says its presence is racist and divisive, reports The Associated Press.

Sabu Williams, president of the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, likened the flag to the Berlin Wall, contending it represents a wall of terror, hatred, murder, bigotry, and shame.

Today, we should be looking at things that bind us, not divide us.

Says the president of the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of COLORED People. Not all people, mind you. Just a certain few.

When we travel down Dixie Way, we love to see the Confederate flag bestowed upon Dixie's monuments. This is part of our country's history. The Civil War should be taught in schools with pride, as was done so in my youth.

After all these years it's suddenly divisive? Oh, my, how thin skinned these wimps are!

Talking about flags, I just heard that the USPS came out with a stamp of the flag rising by the three men at WTC and one was turned into either an Oriental or black. I hope this is not true. Certainly it would be a violation of copyright.
