TB4000, I fly the flag because it represents the brave men who stood up to a corrupt and evil government... Can you honestly say that our current government cares about its citizens????? Our rights are slowly being taken away. If you want to say i'm a traitor or some other name so be it... There is nothing wrong with questioning our government and I will not follow this evil government like sheep! Now Obama wants to mess with the 2nd amendment....... So the confederate flag is a way for me to SAY NO TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!

One other point the KKK also flys the American Flag and the slave ships never flew a Confederate Flag they flew American Flags! Remember that. The north won the war so they get to write history and vilify the south.

Because history must be erased so we can't learn from past mistakes. It didn't exist. Don't you know that?

Thank you for being one of the ones to stand up and say that.

The truth is that the Democrats have never cared about citizens. They care about their own power, and nothing more.

It's a defeated flag, brave Americans died grinding it into the dirt. That's where it should stay.

I agree, it's just like flying the flag of Imperial Japan, Nazi Germany or al-Qaeda for that matter. They are just cool and no one should get upset about it.

That really sums everything up! So now we should erase history too!
UM, I'd like to forget about the Vietnam war so lets erase it. I'd also like not to think about about african history and about slavery- LETS ERASE IT!!!
By the way our children shouldn't be taught about the civil rights movement, it is HISTORY ,ERASE THAT TOO!!!
FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF MEN AND WOMAN WHO FOUGHT OR SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES IN A WAR, I REALLY FIND IT KIND OF HARD TO FORGET ABOUT A FLAG- THAT CONFEDERATE FLAG YOU WANT TO ERASE!
How about the flag of the United States, it flown on those ships that brought all of those African slaves to America=SHOULD WE ERASE THAT FLAG AND HISTORY TOO?
