I don't agree with what the Confederate flag may or may not stand for. I certainly don't respect it's original bearers, the Confederates....but we have free speech in this country.

That said...

The best way to deal with this issue is to enforce US flag code which is actually federal law.

US Flag Code states that NO other flag of any other government may be flown...by itself, or above the American Flag.

The only way to display a foreign flag (IE the flag of another government or power) is to fly it BENEATH Old Glory, or side by side. NEVER alone. That (flying a foreign flag alone)....is an act of war all by itself.

That said, I am fine with the Confederate flag as long as it is flown BENEATH Old GLory, or side by side, not by itself.

Now, if you love waving the Confederate Flag...but cannot see yourself waving Old Glory next to it, maybe it's because you don't believe in the values Old Glory has come to represent. And that is not only un-American, it actually marks you as an enemy of this country.


What did you have against those that served under the flag? What was so bad about a Southerner? Don't tell you think we are all inbred hicks....

As for your other comment I can agree. If a state wants to fly it then why not? But if it does fly there is no way it should be close to ol glory. That we can agree on.


Don't misunderstand me. What I am saying is that if they fly the Confederate Flag, the only proper way to do it is by flying it side by side or beneath....Old Glory. That's the only way. Any other way is an act of war.

As to your other question...I simply don't respect the values of the Confederates. They are not the same values as that of the Union. That's it.


alpha.... the values of the south were the same as the founding fathers, the founding fathers were the same as the plantanion owners, white supremacy all the way.

that"s what was passed down to them. now, ask yourself were the founding fathers democratic while owning slaves.
