[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The flag is a symbol, and as such, has different meanings to different people.

I get the same feeling when I see the Confederate flag as I have when I see someone burning the flag of the US - I think it is sad.  But, I believe that people have the right to fly the Confederate flag just as people have the right to burn the US flag.  I would never do either.  [/quote] As an AA woman, I agree that people should be able to fly whatever flag they wish.  However, I feel differently about the [i]State[/i] of South Carolina.  [/quote]

Well, that State doesn't represent you or me, but the citizens actually living and voting there.[/quote]

Whatever.  A state in the USA should not be flying the flag of a non-government entity that was bested in a bloody and brutal civil war 150 years ago.  It's inappropriate for ANY government entity in the USA, and to argue otherwise is illogical and treasonous.  [/quote]

I don't think it should fly there either. I also think adding ''bested'' is hilariously unnecessary. And come on now...treasonous?

BTW...check out the Mississippi flag. Stars and Bars are still there.[/quote]

Yes.  It is expressing loyalty to a non-US entity.  That's the definition of treason.

And Mississippi is the land of overweight, uneducated troglodytes, so what do you expect?  It's wrong there too.[/quote]

The Confederacy is a part of history...it is no longer an entity.[/quote]
