It’s a beautiful flag and does not represent slavery. It has been used by Russians, East Germans and Chinese as a sign of rebellion against a heavy-handed - actually quite murderous - governments. Not that I compare the Union to any of these evil regimes.

Maybe Jim Robinson should add a ConfederateShop.com on the side to finance Free Republic?

I have a feeling once they look at the profits, they’ll quickly reinstate them. Or, they were overwhelmed.

I hear walmart has some surplus they might be willing to let go for a reasonable sum. Since they no longer choose to sell such evil items.

That’s often true. But I still think they’ll add them back once the media starts chasing the next stupid story.
