I'm sure that Robert E. Lee, as an honorable gentleman who ever lived, would see it differently. I know that I do.

Just because the Stars and Bars was hijacked by a bunch of skinheads and racist criminals doesn't mean that it wasn't the banner that a lot of honorable people gave their lives and prosperity under. At least that's the consensus among a lot of folks in the South.

But they're busy scrubbing that part from the history books.

I don't disagree but it was the flag that was raised to stop the freeing of the black slaves. Hard to sweep that under a rug.

It may have some positive meaning for some but it is also a flag of slavery support.
