A beautifully composed piece. I relish the old South and the nobility, honor and class that it had and in some small parts still has. I fly my Confederate flag often but not because I hate anyone. I simply respect an era and a society that was and is warm, moral and Christian. Furthermore it is my heritage. I have documented proof that my relatives in N.C. fought for the South during the Civil war.

Sadly groups such as the KKK have done much to diminish the honor and nobility of the South and its grand flag. My retort to anyone who makes the claim that the Confederate flag is racist is that the Koo Koo Klan also uses the Bible as a symbol. Does that also make the Bible evil and racist?

When my wife and I are finished with our degrees we plan on moving to eastern Kentucky or more preferably eastern Tennessee. I can't visit that area often enough and feel sad when I have to return home to Cincinnasty.
