I'm not a Southerner so don't have any personal stock in the flag as part of my heritage. However, a rather wise statesman from across the pond had this to say. “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” Sir Winston Churchill
In that context I'm fully in support of our Southern brothers and sisters keeping their heritage alive.
For those who say whats the big deal, lets just put the stars and bars away and move on you miss the big point. If we allow history to be washed of uncomfortable truths, then we will fail to learn the important lessons of the past. All those lives lost will have been lost in vain if we as a nation fail to address the bad and pain in the past just as much as the good.
We have a federal government willing and capable of running roughshod over this nation. How convenient would it be to remove any trace of history of Americans rising up against a federal tyranical government?
