Addendum: I spent a good amount of time searching for any photo with Ronald Reagan posing with a Confederate battle flag. There were none. Without fail, the presidents (or wannabes) associated with that flag were all rats -- KKKarter, KKKlintoon, Woody Wilson, William J. Bryan and so on.
And here in Dallas, when 'RAT JFK was welcomed at Love Field in 1963, there were plenty of those flags flying in support. Likewise along the motorcade. So those are among the reasons why I associate the Confederate battle flag with that "other" party, not with the party of Reagan.
The Confederates were the sons of the FOUNDERS.
There is a reason why Lincoln is buried in a steel cage under three tons of concrete.
He murdered them.
