More evidence of the Nazification of an entire people, the Southerner and their descendants. Since 1865 the Nation has been trying to heel itself from that terrible war, then some morons throw salt on the would by saying you cant fly that flag or march in our parade, or remind the country in any way that their was a Confederacy.

Not exactly. For decades the South was held hostage by large, northern owned businesses. We were a source of cheap labor, abundant natural resources and few legal protections.

Mississippi has an official Confederate Memorial Day Holiday. I'm sure that warps the minds of more than a few leftists. Right or wrong the Confederate dead are our kin, our flesh and bones and WE WILL HONOR THEM.

In my opinion, the leftists of today err, not understanding that the motivations of the secession leadership and the Confederate fighting man was very often different. Even the political nitwits of the Confederate Congress understood this as is seen by their harebrained scheme in 1865 to increase the identification of the Confederate soldier to the institution of slavery by promising each reb soldier a number of slaves at the end of the war. According to the PC thinking of today, no reb soldier needed any such inducement to be totally committed to the cause of slavery.
