Let me preface this by saying that I’m a Yankee originally from Chicago. But here is my take.
Every group - Southerners included - should get to determine FOR THEMSELVES what symbols they choose to honor as part of their heritage. If some feel that confederate flag does that for them, they’re perfectly entitled to fly that flag.
Why is this even controversial? Especially among conservatives?

i don't think you'll find your position "controversial" among CONSERVATIVES, but then the main-SLIME media is predominantly DIMocRAT & LEFTIST.
the main-SLIME media will NOT let us have LIBERTY on such issues, as freedom does NOT "sell soap powder"!

Hank, I did not say you cant hoist a confederate flag or the Pakistani flag. You can do as you wish at your home. But why
should any such flags be displayed PROMINENTLY at a PUBLIC facility?
