The flag is tied today to that same bigotry, hatred, and violence that it used to be. Now it is too often also joined with the Nazi flag. There is no way to separate that flag with that history and reality. Being rude, insulting, trying to bully Republican and conservative voices that don't fit your view doesn't change things. It's embarrassing actually. And the people being so obnoxious in defending and promoting these symbols of hate taint everyone. You feed the Internet meme that FR is a bunch of racist, bigoted, and hate-filled extremists. A few voices ruin it for everyone. Shameful.
Yes, I know I and others get flamed every time we speak up but whatever. It would be great if people would step back and be respectful, not use foul language, through idiotic insults around, try to bully others into silence. Let's instead have respectful discussion, realize that conservatives and Republicans are not a monolithic group.
I see Americans acting like the Taliban and you are one of them.
Read this, and if you’re still consumed with white guilt, don’t bother replying, because anyone who agrees with carpetbagging Clinton Crime Syndicate member and VA Governor Terry McAuliffe about anything has no opinion of interest on Free Republic:

One of the problems we have these days is political correctness gone insane, to advance the insane anti-American leftist political agendas. You seem to have fallen in to that trap.

You are truly an IDIOT TROLL aren’t you.
AMERICAN history is what it is.
Our heroes are who they are.
Their statues deserve to be where they are and deserve to be preserved.
There is a term for people like you “STOCKHOLM SYNDROME”.
Agreeing with your enemies will not save you, they will just KILL YOU LAST.
