To me, the Confederate flag stands for states' rights, self-determination, honor, courage and bold defiance against authoritarian government. It's also an historic symbol of Southern heritage—a heritage in which I proudly share. Unless you're a professional race-pimp (à la Je$$e Jack$on), a socialist educrat or an MSM brownshirt, the Confederate flag shouldn't offend you in the least. If it does offend you, you need a history lesson!

Well, it doesn't offend me - but I realize that not everone has as historically accurate conception of what the confederate flag stands for as you. Out there somewhere, there's a bunch of people with two teeth, banjos, and body parts in the freezer who fly the thing.
