I could take you more seriously if you actually knew what you were talking about. The flag in question is not the Confederate States of America Flag - it is the Confederate Battle Flag. I for one will always hold it in high regard out of respect for the brave men who fought under it for what they believed in. I also hold the flags of many other military groups in high regard for the same reason. For example the Flag of the French Foreign Legion - most of those men fought for their brothers - not for France which is ok with me. There is nothing more honorable than fighting for your brothers in arms. It is what holds the US Marine Corps together, for one.

WELL SAID!

as far as i can see,the only problem with your post is that you seem to believe that the HATE-filled, DUMB comments of the "DAMNyankee coven of lunatics,dunces, REVISIONISTS, fools & at least ONE racist" are a result of being half-educated or IGNORANT.

RATHER the problem of the "coven's members-in-goodstanding" is that they are south-HATERS & BIGOTS.

Yes, there is a difference between the battle flag and the government flags. And one can say that the battle flag represented the brave honest hearted men who laid their lives on the line while the government flag represents the selfish, slavery-obsessed politicians who instigated the rebellion as a naked power-grab.

But you CSA fans need to examine who really dishonors the reb battle flag. It's not the Yankees, but the guys who fly it at KKK meetings. It's not us who revere Lincoln who degrade that flag by putting in on bikinis, using it as a prop for some low-talent redneck rock band or by making a cheap buck off it by plastering it on vulgar bumper stickers. That's the flag that people place on the graves on soldiers. Even a CSA hater like myself believes it deserves more respect than that.
