I wonder if brits in the UK would get so bent out of shape over the American flag, since, after all, we seceded from them the same way the CSA tried to secede here.

They probably would if they would have defeated us. What part of YOU LOST does the South not understand?
You have no right to fly that flag. You are insulting all those Union troops who gave their lives to take that flag down forever and BTW, they WON that right to take the flag down and keep it put away.
I've said it before, the flag is a part of history and so I believe it belongs in a case in a museum. But to fly it is just showing your own ignorance.

Maybe a better analogy would be, what would Colonial Americas think of those flying the Union Jack after 1779?
What do you think Union soldiers would have done during reconstruction if someone wanted to fly their "heritage" flag?

The first amendment wasn't altered after the war so you are wrong on that.
Moreover, killing people never really solves political issues.

Oh, so now it represents some wacky political views? How do you think the founders of the Confederacy would feel about that? Jefferson Davis would be disgusted to see that flag flying on morons trailer houses and stuck to 4WD trucks as a little gimmick meant to offend people.

Actually I've seen captured Confederate flags in glass cases in my state capitol building in Harrisburg. But really, don't you think Civil War re-enactors have a right to carry both Union and CSA flags? Besides, we have the right to freedom of speech, so I'm sure that includes waving a Confederate flag.

I agree with you there. I think in his farewell speech to his troops at Appomattox Gen. Lee urged his men to be good citizens. Davis, although he fled Richmond, accepted the defeat of the South bravely upon capture and did not stew in hatred or anger against the North even though he was treated abominably during his incarceration.

I served so that people would continue to have the right to do whatever they want, fly whatever flag they want, say what they want and be what they want.
Instead of whining about it like a little ***** here you should go out and force those people flying that flag to take it down... oh wait, you're too scared to even think about that. You walk by people flying that flag and it burns you up instead but you don't say anything, you don't do anything and you certainly don't stand up and take that flag down because people like you talk a huge game but never do anything to back it up.
It's just a flag, if you don't like it deal with it.

Just a bit different don't you think, our issues with England had more to do with treating us as indentured servants, what exactly was the wrong inflicted on the south that made them want to secede. They left the union because of slavery.
It's a really good thing ignorant people like you aren't in charge of anything, otherwise that whole pesky 1st amendment thing would go right out of the window.
Actually many people just like me are in higher positions then you and they tend to be in charge ... The President comes to mind... It must be tough for someone with your attitude to have a black leader...
