The "Sons" have some odd critics.

This is the same rep who claims that legislative moves to protect the definition of marriage in Alabama are similar to Nazi war crimes:

State Rep. Alvin Holmes, D-Montgomery, an outspoken critic of the Confederate flag flying from public buildings or on taxpayer owned property, said he's concerned the location of the flag along a main route from northern and midwestern states to Gulf Coast beaches will hurt the state's image.

"But legally I don't think there's anything we can do about it because it's on private property," said Holmes, who was once arrested along with other black legislators for trying to remove a Confederate flag that at the time flew from the dome of the state Capitol.

Holmes said he believes for many people the flag "represents slavery, racism and oppression" and urged the Sons of Confederate Veterans to take it down.

Holmes has no ethical and moral compass to be pronouncing judgment on these keepers of history.

actually, Homes is what southerners call a SCALAWAG, i.e. a TRAITOR to the southland & his state.

come dixie LIBERTY, the lot of a scalawag will be UNpleasant.

NATURE is UNkind to turncoats.

If I am not mistaken, this is the same black representive that was stopped for DUI and the police carried him home because he was "immune" to such charges. I believe he peed in his pants too.

He was so rude about it, that the police chief said he would arrest him next time, immunity or not.
