I am a member of the "Sons of the Confederacy"as I have family lines that Rode with Hookers Calvery...they fought at several small battles and big ones,including-Gettysburg,Bull Run and others.
I have been seeing this forawhile..yes it is a part of my hertitage and I am proud of it.I fly a battle flag at my house and it's not a symbol of hate it's a symbol of my pride in my heritage.I believe if they tried to make me take it down I would sue to have every symbol of every racial background removed and made illegal,I'd lose but atleast it would show I care.
This has turned into a legal circus and the call"it is a symbol of hate"has been way over used.I guess it could be said that anything with an"X" on it is a symol of hate..or anything with a symbol of anybodys past is a "symbol of hate"I wish that people would think before they started screaming...a lawyer friend of mine just laughs every time somebody sues over this issue,and the religion issue as he says i't's just somebody tring to get their name in a paper and a lawyer who sees BIG dollar signs.
It's not about anything but the almighty dollar and people trying to force their opinion on everybody else.I for one will never lower my flags,be it the battle flag,or the Stars and Stripes(both are flying outside my house as I type this).
