dejavu, the Confederate flag is a symbol of people who were mostly Christian, mostly people of good morals, etc.
Surely the war was bloody, but both sides committed atrocities. I felt really angry when you said that it was debased on the same level as the swastika has been.
I don't believe that the Confederate flag is evil at all, and it has meaning for me and for many other southerners which have nothing to do with hatred and everything to do with heritage.
I don't want to take up pages of the forum arguing about it endlessly though, especially as you seem to support some of the positions that people here hold such as opposing illegal immigration. So before I get too angry with you I'll just have to agree to disagree with you.
