I don’t venerate the Confederacy, they deserved to loose. It is a totally different thing to strip the cultural heritage and ancestry of an entire region of America to salve the “hurt” feelings of an aggressive, duicitous, grifting group of professional victims. They are talking about Taliban tactics: destroying monuments, forbidding relatives from placing Confederate flags on the gravesites of their Confederate, removing statues. It is cultural genocide that is typically followed by actual genocide.

When Europeans were conquering the New World they did the same thing to the natives and they ended up on the wrong side of history and DEAD.

I'm glad to see you don't venerate the Confederacy and they did indeed deserve to lose. For being directly responsible for the deaths of some 700,000 people Davis and Lee got away with high treason and armed insurrection. But I don't want to see the Confederate flag banned. It is part of our history. To do away with it would be as if to say The Civil War never happened. I don't want to see that flag on government property local, state or Federal. It isn't the flag that defeated Nazism or communism and it isn't the flag our men and women are serving under. However as a matter of free speech I support anyone’s right to own one and fly it on their own property.
