June 25, 201511 yr Author Are they flying from the state capitol grounds since 1962? Or above the United States flag? I have no clue. Are they? Would most people even know what they were if they saw them being sold in the local Wal Mart, or hanging from their next neighbors house?
June 25, 201511 yr I think they were CSA flags prior to the stars and bars design but that is a guess based on thinking I saw that in a article some time ago
June 25, 201511 yr Tell me what they are and what they stand for and I'll tell you if I am offended. Neither of the flags you produced are as recognizable as the Stars and Bars aka the Rebel Flag aka the Confederate Flag aka the Confederate Army Flag aka General Lee aka I Wish I Still Had Slaves Flag.

June 25, 201511 yr ^^Please.....this is a no win argument at this point, but the situation has been out there for years, just highly politicized right now.
June 25, 201511 yr ^^Please.....this is a no win argument at this point, but the situation has been out there for years, just highly politicized right now. I'm just glad it's finally come to the forefront, however it had to happen. I make no secret about openly judging anyone who flies that flag as an unreconstructed goon, pining over a past that never really existed.

There's a house on my way home, on HWY 401 that has a huge Confederate flag flying in front of their house....with a cannon pointed at the road. Not going to lie....my sister told me they are nice people....I disagree without meeting them. It's their right to do so....but I am very clear that they and I do not have anything in common.

Exactly. I try not to judge people. But I have already judged those that fly that flag.
June 25, 201511 yr I can only hope that, with this controversy, the same zealous vigor will be applied to those that continually misrepresent and abuse our very own Stars and Stripes, although I doubt that will be the case.
