Strawman argument, lugsoul.
As I stated before, it is not my heritage as my ancestors did not have a dog in that fight.
What I see as a third party is that you, lugsoul, in this very thread on Post 106, equated the honorable symbol of the Confederate soldier with the symbol of the National Socialist German Workers Party that was responsible for the genocide of millions of Jews and Slavs and 40 million deaths in Europe over all.
It is not that you are trading one Confederate symbol for another.
It is the reason that you give for doing so.
You could state that the Battle Flag should not be used because we should not mix the honor of soldiers in battle with political issues. If you advocated such a position, you might win some support from the other side.
But, no. You, in Post 106, equated the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia with the Nazi Swastika itself.
It seems to me that many Southerners are not hostile to your position because you "are throwing away all of (their) heritage".
They are hostile because you are defecating on what should be the most honorable symbol of the Confederacy......the non-political flag that the common Southern soldier flew in battle.
Co-opted by race-baiting hate-mongers was it?
As I have documented, the Christian Cross and the Stars and Stripes have a vastly greater degree of co-optation by the white racist groups. The Confederate Battle Flag, however, has now been copted by the race-baiting hate-mongers of the Al Sharpton variety.
You complained earlier in this thread that some people "allowed the Confederate Battle Flag" to be used by hate-mongers.
Well, in this thread, many people are not allowing you to use it in this manner.
