no, but fools who don't realize that their limited vision is not shared by all should be banned, tarred, feathered and ridden out of town on a fence pole.

Idiocy, stupidity, ignorance, racism, bigotry, hatred all apply to people that fly the flag, especially on their pickups! Sure sign of someone that wears a hooded sheet!

Just which Confederate Flag are you talking about? The Battle Flag? The Stars and Bars? Some folks just don't know anything----especially me.

and the answer is NO to either or all of them. How about we ban stupid? Can't fix that, right?

My g-g-grandfather, Gilchrist McKay, died at Mansfield, La., 8 April 1864 at 4:30, in the first charge of that battle. He was a Captain in Co. K, Seventeenth Texas Cavalry, Granbury's Brigade, C. S. A. Why wouldn't I fly the Confederate flag? I'm proud of my Southern Heritage!
Great comment!!!
My gr.gr. grandfather was POW at Camp Douglas. He had 2 brothers killed in Atlanta and one who was a drummer for Lee. I am very proud of my ancestors and of my Southern Heritage. Nearly all of my family fought in that war, some died, some did not. Do you think for one minute that their memory should be tarnished by their decendants turning their backs on the flag under which they fought? I don't and I won't. I have several Confederate Flags --1 that flies under the USA Flag, 1 that was a battle flag, torn and rotted and 1 brand spanking new one that was hand sewn by my great aunt. I say new because it has never flown and is in a display box on my mantle.

No, I get a good laugh everytime I see it and the people flying it. You would have to ban mullets also if you ban the redneck flag.

YES!! Just as soon as we ban all references to the black-power fist, Malcolm X, Louis Farrakhan and all other anti-white, anti-Christian zealots!! Fair enough??
And on that subject, why can we have a Black Miss America but not an all-white version? And how about the Negro College Fund? Are we allowed to have national college fund just for whites? BET (Black Entertainment Television) but no WET? What's up with that! If people want equal, then why not be equal??? Oh... it's ONLY when it suits the immediate situation.
No, the flag shouldn't go.

Absolutely ZERO you ignorant idiot. The Battle flag was just that and flown as a symbol in battle. Other than that no slave picked cotton under any southern flag. I believe you have the Stars and Bars mixed up with the Stars and Stripes.

Now fool go back to a real school and get some larnin in Histroy and not the revisionist you yankee idiots have been taught and are too stupid to find out any different.

Stupid Damn TROLL!

No,that Flag is part of our Country's history.And should be received as such.Durning that period of time.Many good men fought and died for the way of life they believed in.Same as now many are fighting honorable for our country.Some may see the Flag in some other ways.But people who have fought for it past and present knows!!!!!!!!!!

Why don't we ban anything that anyone considers offensive then we won't have to have these arguments anymore.
