[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i am not sure what this state capital fuss is about.   Stars and bars has been continually displayed since the war of northern aggression.[/quote]

WRONG.  They have *not* flown over state capitols continuously.

And WRONG on the "Northern Aggression" bullshit.  The South was the first to attack, at Fort Sumter.

Learn your goddamn history.[/quote]

I simply meant that the flag has been in continuous use regardless of whether it's been over state capitals.

I know my history just fine thank you-

The question of secession from the union was the ultimate question of states rights.   The north sent its armies I to the south to keep us in its union.

Firing in Sumter was really a fly on the rump of that conflict- it was coming anyway.

You Yankees will never learn.[/quote]

Maybe you don't know your history after all.  Claiming it was about "states rights" is a fly on the rump of the conflict - It was specifically about ONE and ONLY ONE right - the right to practice slavery - and in fact, what brought it to a head was the Southern states' push to expand slavery into the western territories.

And additionally, I suggest you read up on what Robert E. Lee had to say about the flag after the war ended.  You know, Robert E. Lee, the man who was the commanding general of the entire Confederate Army?  He said the flag should never be flown again.  He said the flag needed to be laid to rest in order for the nation's wounds to heal.  No confederate flags or other symbols of the Confederacy were displayed in his presence while he was alive, and even at his funeral, there were no symbols of the Confederacy.  And unlike you and the rest of the neo-Confederate pretenders, he was *actually there* and knew far more about what was best for the nation than you or anyone else ever could or ever will.[/quote]
