1. It's too bad it took something like the Charleston shootings to make people think you know, maybe we shouldn't put these symbols of hatred & evil anywhere we can find a flagpole/shot glass.
2. It's easy to forget that besides its racial implications, the flag symbolizes a side who fought against the United States; in other words, committed treason.
3. And yet these are among the most vociferous of all people who claim to "love America!"
4. Why is it so hard for these people to give up this symbol? It was a 150 years ago - it's not as if anybody alive today fought under it. You can't fly the Nazi flag in Germany, and that happened within many people's lifetimes who are still alive. It just seems to be something people grow up hearing over and over that it stands for Southern pride, when it actually stands for racism, treason and, yes, losing. Is there any other instance in human history in which the losers cling so tightly to their loss?
