Don't want to step on any toes here. But, from one southern boy to another, if you're gonna change from the flag you have, which is a perfectly good flag, then it might as well be a white flag.

You bring up a valid point and one that I'll try to explain my point of view. First off I never surendered the way I felt about the flag, that was King Roy & his Kangaroo Court that pathetically gave into minority pressures. I will alway's love our prior flag and I want it back, but if we get to vote on it and we as a state vote against it. Well i'll live with it because we made our decision, not a bunch of politicians. But in my opinion, that's not waving a white flag that's America at it's best.

As a son of the South, I think maybe this is a good compromise. For the past 50 or so years, we have allowed every hate group from the KKK to the American Nazi party use the Southern Cross, with no complaints. Therefor the the battle flag is now associated more with the KKK than with The Confederate States of America. Besides, most of the people complaining about the "Stars & Bars" don't have a clue as to what the Stars and Bars really are.

Now be nice guys, this is my first post.
