I will repeat myself, I hope you can understand it this time.
The battle flag is not a flag of a political party. That is like saying the United States flag is a republican flag, it is not. There are examples in history when a political party uses a flag in military operations (such as the nazis), but the CSA battle flag is NOT a political party flag.
If you see an Iraqi war vet in a parade with a flag or unit insignia that represents Operation Enduring Freedom, is that a Republican or Democrat flag insignia? It is neither, and who was in the white house when he fought does not change that point.
The CSA battle flag did not belong to a political party, it was a MILITARY FLAG. The CSA National flag did not belong to a political party, it was a NATIONAL FLAG.
You are very much wrong when you say it is a democrat flag. When the democrats controlled the white house and congress in the clinton's first 2 years was the USA flag a democrat flag? Of course not. Where military flags at that time democrat flags? Of course not.
I don't know how to make it any simpler for you to understand.
The battle flag is not a flag of a political party. That is like saying the United States flag is a republican flag, it is not. There are examples in history when a political party uses a flag in military operations (such as the nazis), but the CSA battle flag is NOT a political party flag.
And I'll repeat myself and hope you will understand, Name a republican that flew this flag during the war, when that flag was a real battle flag!
I get tired of conservatives getting stuck with the history of this flag and I will do what I can to keep the history of it where it belongs. No republican flew this flag when it was held in battle during the Civil War - ONLY DEMORATS HELD IT HIGH!
