The Confederate flag symbolizes Rebellion. A mind set that is becoming more and more popular among the people who see the government as becoming more and more tyrannical.

While I understand the sentiment, I wouldn't fly a confederate flag myself. As a symbol it has been too badly damaged in the court of public opinion and would only distract from the message. It is too closely associated with slavery and racism to be of any value, despite it's larger message.

I like the Betsy Ross flag, or the Gadsden flag better. The Betsy Ross flag represented Independence from Britain, and the Gadsden flag represented the will to fight for freedom.
