Pray for America.

Can you imagine this in America?

We have a cemetary where over 3,000 Confederate were buried and a Confederalte flag cannot be displayed?

Atleast the original court clearly saw this as a violation of the first Amendment.

------

Look at this quote "to preserve these cemeteries as quiet places in which to honor the American dead, free from controversy and partisan conflict."

When in the hell did some imaginary need for keeping quite places free from controversity and conflict override the Bill of Rights of our Constitution?

If Protesters want to protest a flag being peacefully and quitely flown at a cemetary and interupt a ceremony then let them be arrested if the authority have a law against such, but why take away free speech for peacefully showing a flag in honor of the cayse which men believed in and bravely died for(Whether you agree with their cause or not)?
