if there should be any "rage against the flag" it should be against the CREEPS who abuse the sacred flag of our HERO-MARTYRS.

the SCV has tried numerous times over the years to stop such abuse of our flag by creeps/racists/cretins/morons and other similar persons.

the FEDERAL courts have uniformly said we can NOT protect the CSA flag from abuse!

I don't think so."Sacred?" I find that blasphemous. There's nothing sacred about that flag nor the American flag. They are both symbols, nothing more and nothing less. And I'm sure you'll excuse me for not engaging in "hero-worship."

Abuse of a flag from a country that only lasted for 4 years? It's 2002, and the CSA exists only in your mind. No offense, that's just the truth.

The federal courts have also said that Old Glory can't be protected from desecration. Freedom of speech cuts both ways.

I view both groups of people who are so passionate about a piece of cloth as though they are crazy. There are far greater things that this passion should be used towards.

If you view that flag as an integral part of your heritage, fine. But let's not get crazy. I thought only the Left got so hot-and-bothered by a symbol.
