Anyone who understands what the civil war was fought over to begin with wouldn't be questioning the flag being flown and why.

Exactly the point. I've long suspected them to be a racist organization from day one. Their mantra of standing up for "limited government" and "liberties" is a side show. If they were really interested in either of those things, they would have stand up and protested when Bush was in office, but alas they remained silent and even supported Bush in his unprecedented grab for power.

If New Mexico was a southern state, I'd get it. But its not, and what Confederate history it does have is negligible.

Makes no sense to me, but whatever. Their state. As long as those TP clowns don't attempt that foolishness in my state, I don't care. Still stupid though.

We're ground zero for most right wing idiocy. Can't argue that.

Maybe you should do a little reading about New Mexico and the Confederacy. It was involved a little more than you give credit.
