So you take time valuable time out from healing the sick and feeding the hungry to fight for the foremost remaining symbol of Jim Crow in GA?? Nice to see you have your priorities straight.

Its primarily a symbol of the soldiers who carried it on the battlefield. The NAACP/KKK/YOUR view of it doesn't automatically trump that symbolism. Just because the NAACP and KKK and you agree that it means something doesn't make its original meaning as a soldier's flag on the battlefield disappear.
We have a heard a great deal from liberal intellectuals that the US flag means genocide, tyranny, imperialism, colonialism, etc. The same people say that the Confederate flag stands for blah...blah...blah...blah. Funny. I find it hard to agree with them that their meanings take precedence over mine. Apparently you do not have that problem.
